THIS is why I hate messing up castling

I misclicked. moved my king instead of castling,  and spent the next 10 moves or so trying to get my king safe, and then got checkmated the second someone started an attack.

Hoooo boy im annoyed

don't castle? (according to Radon and icystun and all the good ffa players that worked their way up through the terrible lower level games) it's better to leave the rook in the corner to defend the rook pawn from being attacked, because if you castle, that pawn is no longer defended as well, which might cause some slight inconveniences. Also, you could've just kept moving your king over, which is much better than keeping it in the center.

and by playing Kh2 you just voluntarily allowed yourself to be attacked, so that's on you

kh2 was intended to move rook and then slowly walk my king over into the corner

It's still a bad move

Misclicks happen. But due to the M word, you can now castle in not one but two different ways. One is to click the king and then click the rook and the other is to move the king over two squares in the rook’s direction.

your opening was bad... i think overall your gameplay that game could have been better.

This obviously depends on the situation, but yes, in general it is better not to castle.
