New to Investing

Hi , I’m very new to investing into stock , I have a general understanding about investing, watched several YouTube videos about the market process.

I got my first $100 ready, I’m eager to learn and watch the market growth, but I’m stumped on what to invest in, there’s so many stocks, crypto, ETFs, etc I can put that $100 towards..

Edit: I also have the KRAKEN app, was told it was a great app to protect your investments

(Please no harsh criticism, I’m trying my best here lol..)

I recreated a creature I saw in an incredibly vivid dream… and now I can’t stop thinking about it.

UPDATE EDIT:
The image is Ai generated. I used it only to recreate what I saw in my dream because I can’t draw. The dream itself is real, the picture is just the closest visual representation I could make with what I described to AI. I’m sharing the experience, not claiming this is a real photograph or my own hand-drawn artwork.

Last night I had one of the most realistic dreams I’ve ever experienced.

I was on a boat underneath a bridge when I noticed something massive swimming just below the surface. I pulled out my phone and started recording it like it was a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife sighting.

As I followed it with my camera, it slowly surfaced just enough for me to see its head.

It had smooth beige/tan skin, a long eggplant-shaped head, huge glossy black oval eyes, two long ribbon like appendages coming from the top of its head, an extremely long body with three sets of side fins, and a broad tail that reminded me of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon.

The weirdest part wasn’t how it looked…It looked directly at me. Not aggressively, but more like it suddenly realized it had been seen. The feeling was almost: “Oh shit… someone saw me.”

Then it immediately slipped back beneath the water.
When I woke up, the dream felt so real that I actually opened my photos on my phone looking for the video I thought I’d recorded before realizing it only existed in the dream.

I spent today recreating, (USING Ai) exactly what I saw, and this is the closest I’ve been able to get.

I even gave it a name: Nyrith

Has anyone else ever had a dream that felt so real you woke up convinced you had physical evidence of it? And does this creature remind you of anything from mythology, deep-sea biology, or your own dreams?

Disclaimer - I described what I saw to chat gbt and this is what it sketched and I’ll tell you what , this was damn near spot on to what I saw in my dream

I think I’m giving up on trying to make friends..

I (F24) - My wife (F22) (Yes we’re young..)

Lately I’ve been feeling incredibly lonely, and before anyone says it, yes, I’m married, and yes, I have family. I’m grateful for both. But having a spouse doesn’t replace having friends.
I watch my wife talk to her friends every day. She laughs with them, texts them constantly, and has a best friend she talks to almost every day. Meanwhile… I don’t really have anyone like that.
About a month ago, I met someone who seemed genuinely cool. We started talking almost every day, had deep conversations, and I honestly thought I had finally found a real friend.
Then one morning, something happened and she was the first person I wanted to tell. My text wouldn’t send. I called, and that’s when I realized I’d been blocked.
She messaged me on Discord saying things like, “It’s not you, it’s me,” and, “I don’t think we can be friends anymore.” I asked if I’d done something wrong or offended her somehow, and she told me no that I hadn’t done anything. So I asked what happened… and before I could even get an answer, I was blocked there too.
That part hurts the most. No explanation. No closure. Just… gone.
The thing is, this isn’t the first time it’s happened.
It feels like every friendship I invest in eventually ends with someone ghosting me, blocking me, or slowly distancing themselves. Sometimes people find out I’m married and suddenly lose interest in being friends altogether.
At this point, I’m starting to wonder if I’m the problem.
I would’ve thought I’d make a pretty good friend. I’m blunt, honest, down-to-earth, and I genuinely care about the people in my life. I check in on people, I make time for them, I listen, and I try to be the kind of friend I’d want to have.
So when people keep leaving without telling me why, it’s hard not to start wondering if there’s something wrong with me that I just can’t see.
I honestly don’t know anymore.
I’m not looking for dozens of friends. I just want one person I can text about something random, call when something exciting happens, vent to after a bad day, laugh with, or send stupid memes to without feeling like I’m bothering them.
Is making genuine, long-term friendships really this hard as an adult, or is it just me?
I’d honestly appreciate hearing from anyone who’s gone through something similar.
