NPC Drift
NPC Drift. NPC Drift is a satirical condition in which an individual begins to exhibit behavior patterns reminiscent of non-player characters in video games. Sufferers may repeat the same phrases in social settings, follow rigid daily routines without variation, and respond to unexpected stimuli with pre-programmed reactions drawn from internet catchphrases. The condition is often self-diagnosed humorously, but persistent cases show genuine difficulty generating spontaneous conversation beyond meme references. Affected persons may describe themselves as glitching when confronted with novel social situations. The feeling of operating on a limited dialogue tree is a hallmark symptom. This is NOT a real medical diagnosis. It is a joke about algorithmic content consumption and the homogenization of online speech. You are a protagonist, not a background character.
