I keep losing most of the times and I feel dumb
Sort:
I learn the openings and tricks, and analyse my games and mistakes but while playing I just can't apply what I learned and I fall into traps and make blunders. Sometimes I play well but I guess its because opponent isn't much better but then I go on a losing streak and I feel like I should stop playing

"I learn the openings and tricks" ++ Not useful
"analyse my games and mistakes" ++ Good
"I fall into traps and make blunders"
++ Always check your intended move is no blunder before you play it.
"I go on a losing streak" ++ Whenever you lose a game, stop playing and analyse it first
I like wining in chess as much as the next person. And losing especially when you know you made a bad move is devastating. But every time I lose, I remind myself that Magnus probably also made mistakes at the beginning. Everyone loses at some point it is inevitable. It's the game. I stop playing when I lose too because I lose confidence in myself. Then instead of not doing anything I relearn an opening, or practice something that I am not good at. Also playing with computer helps to ease the pressure of losing rating and helps to fall back on track.
"Always check your intended move is no blunder before you play it"Seems like I can't
I can't see ahead in the game during making a move and figure if the move I make is blunder or not
“I keep losing most of the times and I feel dumb”
Me too.

That’s why I can’t get better. I keep making blunders.

I read recently that chess is easier to learn at a young age. Kids who grow up around 3 or 4 different languages have no trouble learning those languages, but once they hit a certain age it becomes exponentially more difficult. I believe there's some of the same phenomenon involved.

++ It is not hard.
Think about your move, identify candidates moves, calculate, evaluate, conclude what move you want to play. Now do not play it. Imagine it played on the board. Now check it is no blunder. Only after you have verified it is no blunder, play it.

Embrace the suck!
We all suck at this game, that's what makes it fun. Even the great Magnus Carlsen blunders games from time to time.
This is one reason I love skateboarding. Even if you are relatively good at skateboarding, you're still a wobbly mess, and you have to be a mess in public, or else you don't get to participate.
Likewise, unless you play a bot, another human gets to see you suck. You just have to own it and learn from your mistakes.
It seems You are a novice. But a begginer. First at all: No. No study opening!! *No, don't memorize cheap tricks hoping somebody fall. You don't have to do that. At this levem You have to : 1. Learn chess board notation. E4, E5..etc 2.play slow chess 3. Try to concentrate and remember where your pieces are and what they can do. When Yoou reach 900/1000elo atleast. Then start learning abit about what opening to use.

Blunder checking is much easier said than done. It takes practice. Don't expect to get good at it immediately.
