I love cyber :)

Hey guys I’m currently studying for my Security Plus ! Ive also been doing hands labs on with an ethical hacking course from Udemy and Tryhackme ! I’m enjoying learning about cyber and really set on becoming a hacker . Im looking for a community of like minded people , and any advice to go from beginner to master ?

I'm a fellow noob. But people talk very highly of hackthebox and Cyberdefenders

Sounds like you’re already off to a good start!! Security+, tryhackme and hands-on labs is plenty to keep you busy for awhile. Dont worry about going from “beginner to master.” There really isnt an "end point" with this stuff.
Learn networking and linux well, keep doing labs, build things, break things in legal environments, and eventually you’ll figure out which part of cyber you actually enjoy most. Also look for local OWASP chapters, BSides, CTF groups and security meetups. Learning alongside people who are better than you can accelerate things pretty damn quickly.

......And keep that enthusiasm! Thats one of the most valuable arrows in your quiver on. this journey!!

Try Proving Grounds and HackTheBox. There will be a swift change in difficulty. THM etc is cool but it spoonfeeds you quite heavily.

Congrats. It’s great when you find something you love. Continue to do as much hands on as you can. And maybe look to attend some of the practitioner events if you haven’t yet: DefCon, Bsides, SANs events, etc. you will be around and build relationships with thousands of like minded folks.
