I have personally confirmed the roundness of the earth in many ways.
Buy two dowel rods of the same length and mount them to identical wooden bases so that the finished product is two identical rods pointing straight up that are identical heights. Get someone you trust to take one of them a couple hundred miles due north or south (not crossing the equator). Erect both of them at the same altitude and measure the shadows they cast at the same time. You and your trusted friend will have different shadow lengths because of the curvature of the earth.
Another thing you can do is fly somewhere with a different time zone with a watch and note that the time of sunrise and sunset doesn't match what it should be according to your watch. That's because you're at another place on a giant globe.
EDIT: The North Star (Polaris) appears to remain in one spot in the sky because it is aligned just about perfectly with the rotational axis of the earth. The other stars appear to be revolving around it because the earth is rotating, which is also why the sun appears to be revolving around the earth.
It's not my job to help you get past these silly arguments that most people make. You have to journey yourself by realizing things you though you knew could be backwards.
You have to imagine that you've been fooled, otherwise you will cling too hard to the programming. I was same place as you years ago. Seems obvious the earth isnt a pancake in space, and you're right. They use this scare crow argument in our programming. Your idea of any except the globe is highjacked. You think space can't be fake because you see stars. But what if you question what you're told that you see, is something different

These are things you can do yourself or with other people you trust. You can do other things, like watch the sunset twice when you hurry to a higher place.
There are other confirmations that don't involve sunlight or shadows cast by the sun, like radio signals and high-altitude photography.
What is your explanation as to why you can step off of an airplane in the middle of the day by your watch yet it's night?
So things like watching the sunset twice, and the sticks thing, and the time zone, are all not proof the earth is a globe.
I know we're told they are, but when you understand the arguments, you'll realize how weak the globe theory actually is.
Radio signals just prove the earth isn't a globe. Same with high altitude photos.
You clearly don't under the laws of optical perspective because you don't see how's it's possible the sun would set unless the earth was a globe. These are basic laws of physics that most people don't know.
The only photos that show earth has a curve are CGI or result from fish eye lens.
I know you don't believe me. It's sad. I wish people weren't so lazy and would just look into this for themselves.
But like you, they won't. They think they already know. They think it's pointless. They can't even think of a motive. It's pure programing.
Here is a non flat earth argument. Just to take something unbiased and objective into consideration before assuming you know me or anything about me or try to clump what I am saying into a group of something you think you understand.
If you're a person, and you ACTUALLY respect other people like yourself, then you'll consider this.

How can two sticks of the same length have two different shadow lengths at the same time from the same light source if they are on a flat plane?
How can a flat plane illuminated by one light source have that light source in the sky while half of it does not?
Why do radio towers built higher have a longer reach, and the formula for calculating this coincides with the curvature of the earth as we know it?
Do you believe that ever photograph that shows the earth's horizon has been faked? Forget the curve you can actually see if you go high enough, but how come it doesn't go all the way to the edge of a flat earth?
There are a hundred ways to easily debunk this. You can't be a real person because modern people don't actually believe this.
