i would like some pointers from higher rated players or ideally titled players
also this could be a place for any player of any skill to get pointers and tips!

"Pointers" and "tips" won't take you far (except maybe in tic-tac-toe). What you need is systematic, diligent, extensive study, and lots and lots of practice playing.

focus + concentration
Don't have my rating
At your level, Tactics are most recommend.
Tactics are widely considered fundamentally the basis of chess, ensuring a strong base is directly impacting and maximizing your chess potential.
Figuratively, Tactics should be lumped with exercising from a perspicacity standpoint, it is all about enduring it repetitively in an astute manner.

@iCantThinkOfAName1 I can't tell you exactly what to do, but I CAN tell you what has worked for me over the 3 years I have been playing. I started at around 1100 and have reached 2300 in rapid, so I guess it works... anyway, here is my DAILY (consistency is super important), practicing schedule.
10 runs of puzzle racer. Record the average over all ten runs into a private study for future reference.
10 runs of puzzle storm, do the same thing. With puzzle storm, after finishing, go back through all the puzzles done and solve the ones you failed.
One blitz tournament, (Full concentration, no room for halfhearted playing, gotta be doing your best all the time)
One-three rapid games, depending on how I feel. Full analysis of each, win or loss.
A few opening lines in whatever opening I have faced a novelty in most recently.
The rest of the day, if I play chess, it is generally just for fun. I will hop on my alt and berserk people in rapid, or play some hyper, ultra for fun, but the first part is my serious practice. I think being able to relax and just enjoy the game can be a nice break.
Practicing too much can be detrimental just like not practicing enough. Don't let enthusiasm cause you to spend so much time playing chess that you burn out. But the determination to do it every day, even when you don't feel like it, is what makes a good chess player ultimately.

Hope this helps,

P.S. Also, at your level just doing the tactics and the rapid games is probably enough. I am a bit higher rated than you are, and the higher you go, the harder it becomes to improve rating points, because the difference between a 2000 and a 2300 is MUCH smaller (from a practical point of view), than the difference between a 2300 and a 2600, even though the rating gap is the same.
