IMO It's going to be hard improve.

Bullet and Blitz are all about playing with intuition. IMO That intuitions only comes from a serious study of Chess (cited in my previous post)

I wonder where is my blizs intuition after being 2000 rapid, where did it hide huh

okay I cannot simply understand how you can be 1900 blitzs and 1700 rapid
are you not treating rapid seriously like playing a bong cloud every game,
are you playing rapid at bullet speed? or you can't think longer than 10s?
explain it, for me

I don't understand this either, I have (relatively) sound knowledge and know theory above my level, but have no intuition when it comes to playing blitz. Usually I just try to play the opening well then try to calculate, but there's not really enough time to calculate... but not so little time as to just shoot out moves like bullet. It feels like such an awkward time control, I just end up getting flagged and then it's embarrassing. It's even worse OTB seeing the amount of times people smack the clock too hard or knock down pieces accidently is ridiculous, although pretty entertaining

says who? a person with 80 out of 83 games played blitz (no offense)

Rimac...... No offense taken.... but seriously, if these guys are correct, it appears you could be even better if you played classical time controls
