feel bad


play enough games so your rating settles in (whatever it is) and then you’ll be more evenly matched

Don't feel bad at all! I know the feeling; in fact, many beginners feel that way (so they often play computers instead of people, but I don't think this is best). Ironically, your opponent probably feels they aren't giving you much challenge sometimes. It has more to do with human nature and personality, but basically we are really critical of ourselves and not as much to others.
Keep learning and getting better if you can, but don't worry about how people view you in the meantime; they are probably going through similar chess hurdles themselves
This may help some at the start of the game; at least in confidence if nothing else:
