I personally find all discussion around free will annoying. Whether or not I have free will I still have to decide to do shit. I can’t just go on autopilot.

It only feels that way 😃 But yes, there's no escaping the feeling

I mean yeah, I don't believe in free will, but in day to day life I still get annoyed at my friends when they can't seem to make simple choices and feel best when I feel like I'm making good choices.

Imho our language hasn't really caught up, someone mentioned the idea of distinguishing free will from agency which is intriguing, because at a fundamental level we still need to feel like we're making choices in day to day life because of our how our brains are wired, but at the same time from a moral and philosophical truth standpoint it's incredibly important to still consider the implications of free will not existing...

Society is just starting to wake up to the idea of "systemic issues", not believing in free will forces you to consider all issues as systemic, something a lot more intellectually challenging but that ultimately reveals a lot more truth and comfort about the world, and imho provides a very strong moral foundation.
