And your justification for that is?

I have inner stereologues

they lack a basic conscious human function such as inner monologue

Lack of internal monologue can be a function of certain neurological conditions; it's not "normal" in the sense of prevalence of incidence, but it's absolutely a normal human condition--and reducing folks with conditions they have no control over to "clone" status is evidence that whatever your internal monologue is telling you, you probably shouldn't be listening.

having an inner monologue does not preclude you from not being real

Chris Farley's awkward character voice from above roll's around in my head, other times it's his I live in a van motivation speaker voice I hear, I guess he has free rent in my head or is haunting me now

My inner voice is very mean unlike me

My mind hasn't shut up since I was a child. I have thoughts (which always include visuals) while I play music (also in my head. Every instrument, clear as day) while holding a conversation with a friend, simultaneously. My wife cannot make pictures or sounds in her mind but she has incredible school grades including amazing college scores. She's currently working towards a masters as we speak.

She lacks empathy (not entirely) but is kind to everyone she meets, assuming they are kind as well. She loves animals, to a fault. She's incredibly artistic. I'm looking at a dozen of her creations on the wall in front of me. Dozens more elsewhere. She's never satisfied with her works but I tell her that is the curse of an artist and we all go through it.

Is she an NPC? Clearly not. She's constantly flourishing in anything she tries to do.

at least you have something

I was surprised when I discovered that some people don't have inner voices.
What is happening inside their head?

I like when I go to the local plaza and bump into those talking out load to themselves, and I don't mean cellphone users, the ones who have no inner voice

I too was surprised
while they have a human body they're not fully human
maybe there is a reason why humanity needed human like beings like them? who knows

Does that mean if you have multiple voices in your head conversing with each other you are a super human?

If you don't have an inner monologue it means you don't have a soul. And that's okay.
