DAE overthink how much to tip on a takeout order

Like when you pick up food and theres the tablet staring at you with the tip options. The person literally just handed me a bag but the options start at 18% and go up to 30%. I always feel guilty hitting no tip but also they didnt bring it to my table or refill my drink or anything. What is the actual move here

DAE feel obligated to tip even when the service was genuinely terrible

like logically i know tipping is supposed to reflect the service but every time i get bad service i still end up leaving at least 15% because i feel guilty. then i walk out annoyed at myself for rewarding something that didnt deserve it. does anyone else go through this weird guilt cycle or do some of you actually have the backbone to leave nothing

Is it normal to have basically zero close friends as an adult?

I'm in my late 20s and I just realized I don't really have anyone I'd call a close friend anymore. Like I have people I'll grab a drink with if plans happen to line up, but nobody I'd call at 2am if something went wrong.

It's not that I'm lonely exactly, more like... when did this happen? I had a whole friend group in college and now I see those people maybe twice a year if that.

Is this just what happens or did I mess something up along the way?

is it weird to not answer phone calls anymore

i realized recently that i basically never pick up the phone unless its my mom or my boss. everyone else gets a text back like "hey saw you called whats up." my friend got kinda offended about it the other day and said im being rude but honestly unexpected phone calls stress me out. like i need to mentally prepare before talking to someone on the phone. is this a generational thing or am i just being antisocial

DAE feel like they have to google literally everything before making a decision now

buying toothpaste? gotta check reviews. picking a restaurant? 30 minutes of scrolling. even dumb stuff like which water bottle to get — i end up in a research spiral. i used to just... pick things. now i feel like i can't commit to anything without checking what the internet thinks first. is this just a me problem

Is it rude to start eating before everyone at the table has their food?

went out with a group last weekend and my food came out like 10 minutes before everyone else's. i just sat there staring at it getting cold because i didn't wanna be that person. but then someone at the table was like "dude just eat" and honestly i felt weird either way. is there an actual rule here or is it just vibes

Is it normal to take over an hour to fall asleep every single night?

I get in bed tired, eyes heavy, the whole deal. Then my brain just... turns on. I end up staring at the ceiling for like 60-90 minutes most nights. No phone, no caffeine after noon, room is dark and cool. Still takes forever.

My girlfriend falls asleep in literally 5 minutes and I genuinely do not understand how that is possible. Is something wrong with me or is this just how some people are wired?
