Why is my White win rate way lower than my Black's?

I always like to play as White but then lose a lot of games. However, when I play as Black, I tend to get positions more comfortable. This is illogical since White gets to move first so will probably have an advantage in a game where time is important.

Which pool are you talking about. Looks like you're better as white in rapid

"I always like to play as White but then lose a lot of games."
++ You probably overextend as white and/or are more careful with black.

"However, when I play as Black, I tend to get positions more comfortable."
++ Then open 1 a3 as white and pretend you play black. Or play a reverse system.

"White gets to move first so will probably have an advantage"
++ Chess is a draw with best play from both sides,
but the path to the draw is narrower for black and wider for white.

Then open 1 c4 as white.
