I've been playing osu! on normal for about 2 years now and it finally became a bit too slow for me so I started hard maps. And they're great, just my speed and rhythm. But I have one problem...and that's those 3+ hit circles that sit on the same spot that you play before the note even starts. I hope that's a good description. Anyway, those things throw me off rhythm and I always end up either with a low score or a fail. Got any tips for these damn things?
Considering 2h per day / 3 days per week as pretty casual gameplay, you sir have 6 weeks of gameplay. 40 hours. If you start with "how long I play", speak about your real gameplay time, not time from account registration. You may just say you play really casually for few hours per week and then few weeks break, etc. My 779 hours is 2 years in pure casual gameplay calculation and honestly, I was playing actively for around 7-8 months, then just few hours per week with longer breaks.
3+ circles in stack, triples, then bursts, then streams. 3 different things with common denominator - alternation.

You just need to practice this, there is no magical way to learn it instantly without practice. In term of difficulty for human, from easiest to hardest:
triples -> bursts -> doubles -> streams -> deathstreams (this one will not be your problem till midrange 4-digit). Magical way to learn it?.....
Well, fuck, just play more and don't rush too far, it often ends with mashing habit which in 99% of times destroys your ability to play consistently.
