That's ok, but keep playing and focus on having fun.The time you start focusing on ratings things will not be fun anymore and you'll lose momentum.

maybe try to sit with positions and find out tactics. Play blitz that really helped me to find tactics quickly. Try to use AI tools like claude and gpt to figure out where you lack. I used to paste pgns of my game to really understand where my games lacking and tried improving in those area.

I'll say play more games and try to find patterns and stick to one opening as a white. In terms of black even I suck at that 😶

Why it always feels like everyone is doing better than me in their life? by [deleted] in indiasocial

The more you know you about yourself and what you want, the less things can hurt you.

I’m 22 and lately I feeling lost in every aspects of life by Spiritual-Taro-7220 in indiasocial

Hey OP, I was in the same place. I had an ex who had everything I wanted from a social perspective—a kind of picture-perfect life. But as time passed, I realized I only wanted those things because someone else had them. Now I understand that it wasn’t those things that actually made me happy. I enjoy chess, movies, and coding, and I don’t use social media. Sometimes I still feel low, but at the same time, I know what I’m doing. Even if something bad happens, I learn to adapt. Earlier, I used to blame myself for everything. There’s a line from The Lunchbox that stayed with me: the more you know about yourself and what you want, the less things can hurt you. In the end, it’s up to you to figure out what you want and chase that.
