I’m in the middle of a rationality crisis. I wish I had somebody to talk to, but I’m not close enough to any rationalists to ask for a personal chat when I keep thinking, “They have more important things to do!” and none of my close friends are rationalists.
I know you retracted that comment, but if you’re still looking for someone to talk to, you could make a post in the Discussion section. If that seems a bit too public or off-topic or whatever, Tumblr might be worth a shot; there are quite a few LWish people there too, and commiseration about personal crises isn’t exactly rare on Tumblr.

I almost never have more important stuff to do but I can’t guarantee useful advice.
You might check IRC - #lesswrong, maybe #slatestarcodex, someone is probably willing to help, and you might make a friend.
I think that’s actually the motivation for the offshoot channel #lw-support
