Welcome! Discovering the rationalsphere is very exciting, isn’t it? I admire your passion for self improvement.
I don’t know if I have advice that isn’t obvious. Read whoever has unfamiliar ideas. I learned a lot from reading Robin Hanson and Paul Christiano.
As needed, journal or otherwise speak to yourself.
Be wary of the false impression that your efforts have become ruined. Sometimes i encounter a disrespectful person or a shocking philosophical argument that makes me feel like giving up on a wide swathe of my life. I doubt giving up is appropriate in these disheartening circumstances.
Seek to develop friendships with people you can have great conversations with.
Speak to rationalists like you would speak to yourself, and speak tactfully to everyone else.
That’s the advice i would give to a version of myself in your situation. Have fun!
