I've started being dry my annoying friend(s)

I feel rly bad about it but I don't know what else to do. We're both 14f and been friends for 3 years. We're both in the same class (in middle school) and we don't have a big friend group. It's just her and another boy in our class, plus another two friends that are not in our class. They're all rly annoying and lately I'm feeling like I can't keep up. Whenever ive been with them in the past I feel like I have to put up an act and be 'happy' and always make jokes and always act shocked when they do something they think is cool. It makes me rly tired. I'm good friends with the girl from class, but she can act really childish, constantly makes everything a competition, blames me for things, says the most obvious things and repeats everything back to me when it literally happened right in front of me. She also gets jealous easily, but it's 'fine' when she talks to other ppl. She can be super awkward around others, and ik that's not her fault but it still annoys me.

My other friends are equally, as if more annoying.

When I'm around her I don't like the version of myself I automatically shift into, it's immature and embarassing. I'm going into highschool soon and I have no clue what to do about my social personality. Lately I've stopped making a big effort in our friendship, stopped making jokes, tried to give her hints that I kinda wanted to be left alone for a bit because im too tired to keep up or embarrass myself anymore. Now I feel like an asshole because she probably doesn't even know why I'm upset.

What can I do to fix the sky in my painting?

I'm a bit of a beginner, and I'm making a painting of a alien-like sky with two moons and figures on the clouds. However I'm having trouble with blending the colors, or even which colors to use, so any advice would be appreciated

It's my first time on this sub, and never know what products to add before makeup, or if they should even go together. I want products that don't dry out skin and have benefits.I tried asking AI but it wasn't helpful 😭 so I decided to ask ppl who actually know what they're doing. It would be helpful to list the specific types of products, tyy
