When I first played osu my friend said to only single tap except for streams which is what I've been doing, but since I started doing 5.5+ songs I've been stuck at the same skill level for a very long time, and I think a big part of it is that I simply can't tap fast enough for a lot of songs no matter how hard I try. My friend insists that I should still single tap and to just get faster but after a couple of months I haven't improved much at all.
I've tried alternating a little bit, but it's extremely difficult because when I am trying to force myself to do it I get caught up in my head "Which one do I hit next, Z or X?" and if I try to focus more on the song instead of which button to press I end up subconsciously favouring one finger, even for 2-3 star songs.
So should I learn to alternate even though it's extremely uncomfortable for me, or is there a way I can teach myself to tap faster?
