tips are often directed towards beginners of something, but do you have any tips for experts?
only if i become aware of something i think you could improve. so far you haven't told me about any problems, nor have i seen any problems with anything you are doing. so for now i have to assume you're doing fine

i've been working with the chromatic scale. my strategy is to let every note feel loved, and also to use the piano to lead the rhythm. it sounds very janky and awkward and dissonant, but there was a brief moment where i could hum each note before i played it at a not-very-fast place. i think i want to be able to do that faster: predict each note before i play it. but i wonder if my answer lies in intervals...
almost any exercise you can think of is probably good, but also be sure to balance that out with a lot of fun and good times
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html
i saw a few charts where they didn't specify the key of the song but the note of the scale like so: 1 5 5 2 1 1. how would that work for the chromstic scale? it wouldn't, right?
usually what you'd do is use flats or shartps to show how it deviates from a major scale. so for example, 1, #2, 2, b3, 3, 4, #4, 5, #5, 6, b7, 7, 1 and of course for any of those flat/sharps you can choose between which way you want to do it (#4 or b5) depending on which one you prefer at that time
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html
when i was playing with the form of My Favorite Things (by ear, at first), i found that i could be a lot freer with the melody than i wanted. but i don't know what to do. actually i don't want to predict each note before i play it. i want to play the note that i predict. this is my main struggle currently. beyond technique and all.
i think you are doing fine. the brain cannot do otherwise than learn. over time, it almost doesn't matter what the strategy is. the learning happens. except don't forget the most important ingredient in music: fun

there is a famous technique that is supposed to work very well, which is to prepare a large bowl of ice water and dip your face into it for several seconds. if you don't have the resources handy to prepare a large bowl of ice water, as an alternative you can put your face in a cold shower. this works surprisingly well as a sort of re-set to your mind and emotions

If Valentine's Day candy is the worst Halloween candy, Is Halloween candy the worst Easter candy? And is Easter candy the worst valentine's candy, like a form of holiday candy rock paper scissors?
my reason for suggesting valentine's day candy as the worst halloween candy is based on the likelyhood that any valentine's day candy you can find on october 31 is likely to be fairly old, because most valentine's candy is probably manufactured around the previous december (at the latest). It was tempting at first to suggest that christmas candy would be the oldest, but the fact is that most stores actually begin putting out the christmas candy on halloween day, and have already moved the halloween merchandise to the discount area. so it's actually quite likely that even an ordinary consumer would be able to find brand new christmas candy, on halloween day. by this logic, easter candy would actually be the best and freshest candy on valentine's day

I bought a small package of tealights and the cashier put them in the bag, but I said I don't need a bag and picked them up, out of the bag. He said, "Are you too good for a bag?" And instead of explaining that it feels awkward physically to carry something almost as light as a bag, inside a bag, I said, "yeh." And he said "Oh sorry, next time I will roll out the red carpet for you," and my response was, "Thank you." And he made a Psh sound. I walked out the car thinking what is wrong with me but by the time I got home I was like, wait, what is wrong with HIM? Should I avoid that store now and forever or is it probably fine.
it's fine
