How do I improve my positional play?

I’m having trouble right now to play in closed positions well and to think about the endgame I want so I usually go into the endgame with a disadvantage. How do I improve this skill?

Please DO NOT answer if you are lower rated then me, I don’t want the advice “use pawn breaks,” or “put your rooks on open files.”

ask good players personally the forums aren't going to help you

Use pawn breaks and always put rooks on open files.

Use rook breaks and always put the pawns on open files.

I don’t let anyone forbid me to comment because of my rating. The only thing that stops me is my mind telling me wheter I have a useful advice for the person or not.

Having that said, I don’t know how you study chess so I have to guess a useful method for you: Have you tried to study games with similar closed positions from elite players?

Bro how come when this guy says it he gets two ppl laughing on his comment but when I said it first nobody laughs 😭

I'd say study games that involve closed positions. I thought Petrosian played closed positions well.

I was funnier. Read mine again... (I switched pawns and rooks.)

This is not a competition

Wish I knew mate

wonder why I didn’t think of this before

try to make a plan

if the position is closed and quiet and there’s no concrete plan just try to find your worst piece (the piece that is helping your position the least) and rerout it to a square where it would be more active.

In these types of positions you have a lot of time

one mistake that I do a lot is trying to make each move active, and while that is generally a good idea, in quiet positions you can just manouver, basically shuffling but with a purpose

hope this helps
