I hate chess but I want to get better ;(

Why to hell am I so bad. I am playing chess.com for two weeks now but I don't get better. Until now I lost every game. Maybe I won one. But I got from over 1000 to 300-400... I am about to cry. because I used to like chess. But now...as I see that literally everybody is better than me, I will be depressed over and over again. But I won't stop playing because I want to play, and become better. But how?? How tf am I supposed to get better? I tried everything. Playing against myself, against bots, real persons, watching videos, analysing my plays. I did as many lessons as I could in chess.com. 

Why am I so bad and why does noone want to help me?

I hope you are right. 

Do some puzzles, also you won your last two games! congrats mate.

Have you ever read a chess book?

Do you have a Twitch channel?

No, I don't have Twitch. 

According to your profile you have played 15 games of blitz. Chess isn't a game that can be quickly mastered, it can take years to simply get to an intermediate level. To improve play slower time controls, say 30 minutes. Fast for fun but slow to improve. Watch John Bartholomews chess fundamentals series on you tube. You are probably hanging material so start with his video on undefended pieces. Practice puzzles daily but work them out in your head before moving pieces. This will improve your calculation and visualisation skills, your board vision will improve. Play less chess but more quality games where you have time to think and practice what you study. Do this and in 3 months you will be a much better player.

The reason you loose a lot is because you only have 2 weeks of experience and your opponents have mostly a lot more!

Learn a solid opening for white like the London system and one for black,

Do 10 tacticals puzzles every day for 4 months.

Read or do some end games positions for 2 or 3 hours.

Play slow games 15+10 or 30 min per side.

In four to six months you should be able to beat all those guys under 1250 IF you take the time to think on every move you make and on their move too.

And learn from each game you loose.

Yup.

Also, I like Harry Potter too, and i’m Fine.

try doing tactics on chesstempo.com to improve your calculation and pattern recognition. openings are also key, and you can get better at those with books, youtube videos, and maybe chesstempo. but i have personally never done anything but the tactics on chesstempo, but they have released many other things to help you improve.

hating something and wanting to get better hardly go hand in hand.

Because you don't work seriously.

I understand that most just want to have some fun and play fast games. But, have you ever heard of anyone with just online bullet/blitz experience going to OTB competitions and getting a GM title? Let us say that, worldwide, 50 million people play bullet and blitz on a regular basis. Nonetheless, we don't have a single case.

This is because when playing fast we don't have time to analyze and go deep into the position. Since chess is a concrete game, playing by guidelines and speculation is often not enough. Then, we have to learn to analyze with precision first, and only then to do it faster. Doing it the way around does not work.

What about me??? I have been on this ebsite for almost 6 months but i still haven't gotten my rating over 200. I am starting to get really impatient. I tried lessons, playing against people, bots-but NOTHING seems to work! I want help so I can advance and get my level a little higher.

I look at your last game....you must think a bit deeper before you make a move...your knight was pinned and you had to protect it with your bishop and not attack elsewhere with your bishop...

You need a bit more experience you only have 110 played?

You could get to 1300 no problem but are you 100% comfortable with the opening that you are using?

If not i can suggest one that is a bit more solid and very easy?
