I don't disagree, but I might be able to help 800s increase their rating. Even if just by recommending the videos I found most useful.
There's a guy that needs help
Look at the forum road block

How do u calm down in a bad position? I heard it helps. Honestly, the last time a won a bad position, it was mostly sheer luck.

You need to make a position as complicated as possible or as close to a draw as possible so in blitz chess make it as confusing and dynamic as possible and force a blunder like if himaru can beat 800s down a queen you should be able to do it (even if only occasionally )

This is ridiculous. Hikaru (not "Himaru") is a chess genius. Nothing he does can be compared to an ordinary player.
*Hikaru but anyway the point still stands ... You can also beat your opponents down a queen lol trust

#17 because that happens with everyone. The exact reason to fell back was that a game where I was helping my 300 rated friend, i forget to turn on unrated. That is rapid. I don't care about blitz and bullet. My IM teacher's advice that I shouldn't play blitz or bullet. And, also he started teaching me recently

Tbh blitz chess = intuition and fast thinking
Bullet =time management (actually super helpful for rapid games )
Rapid=better thinking

If rapid works better for you do that if blitz is better do that instead actually the average human attention span i think is about 3 minutes in some cases lol
I wouldn't listen when they say you shouldn't play etc time control cause everyone improves differently at some time controls
Actually whenever I'm stuck I just switch to a different time control and try something different or I grind the same time control and switch up my playing style (ex with a new opening or just new style of play )

@BigChessplayer665 when i have no brain for thinking, then i play 3 min. But that's rare. And I feel that when I play blitz, my rapid goes down. And Rapid is the hardest to grow.

At higher levels I think it switches to blitz chess on which in harder to grow but lower levels I think is more competitive at rapid
I am rated around 1300 Rapid. I couldn't afford coaching while I was learning chess, and I would like to help other chess improvers in a similar situation.
