I’m gen z and I hate how social media companies have ruined everything

When I was in highschool I often felt like people outside of my friend group didn’t want to have conversations with me. Maybe it’s just me overthinking a couple instances. When Covid happened I went to this highschool and met some old friend. I tried talking to him about literally anything and he didn’t seem to care he was on his phone the whole time, and very unresponsive. I can’t help but feel kids are becoming less interesting and lacking personality because of how much time they spend on their phones rather than having genuine conversations. I have 2 younger sisters and they aren’t “iPad kids” thank god. All this stupid AI stuff there trying to shove down our throats hasn’t benefited me in any way and I don’t know how it’s beneficial at all when you can just look something up on the internet. It really feels like companies nowadays don’t care what they make and as long as they advertise a billion times and make money they will keep making it. It feels like technology has just stopped advancing and now it’s just stupid stuff that’s advertised as the future when really it doesn’t do anything. I hate that meta needs to know every inkling about you they own a lot of social media co

My friend is mean

Hi Reddit,
I recently told my friend in casual conversation about an artistic hobby I always wanted to try as a kid.
The hobby I wanted to try was too expensive for the family, so I never could.
She told me “why would you admit you are a wannabe”
I feel hurt that I opened up about something I always dreamed of doing and being brushed off like that.
It doesn’t help that she’s been an a-hole lately, so maybe that was just the cherry on top.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can let this dream go and not feel hurt by a comment like this?

I think my emotions are glitching lately

Lately I feel like something in me is glitching.
Some days I wake up feeling like I can fix my whole life before lunch.
Other days I stare at the wall for 20 minutes trying to decide what to eat.
Nothing “big” happened.
No breakup.
No disaster.
No life-changing moment.
Just… small things piling up quietly in the background until my brain starts lagging.
Sometimes I walk into a room and forget what I was doing.
Sometimes I’m completely fine and then a random thought hits me like:
“Bro, why are you like this?”
I’m trying not to panic every time it happens.
But honestly, it scares me how fast my mood switches.
I don’t think I’m broken, but I definitely feel off.
Like the system is running but half the tabs aren’t responding.
I don’t even know why I wrote this.
I just needed to let it out somewhere.

Anyone able to control their dream?

I heard some people can have lucid dreams and be able to control their dream. Is this true? Has anyone done this before.
It would nice to hear some of your experiences. Is their a trick on how to control the dream?
If this is possible, it would be so fun to fall asleep. I've always struggled in falling asleep.
