Just relax and appreciate the fact that you are a 1900 level player! Thats friggin' AMAZING! I know it's all relative and you may have goals to be higher but you are already beyond anything I could dream of! I have managed to hit 1100 twice but can't remain there. 1900 seems like GM level to me!
I think that's true too. 1900 is a score 0f 400 points higher than a regular master. Keep it up, and I know that your can become a GM one day.

Actually, becoming an NM is not far away at all. You only need a score of 2100. Be confident and positive, that way you can concentrate more on your games. You can also watch other players play games. Play traps they like to play and you'll soon be a 2100+!
You are far from alone. Only about 1 in 10 serious chess players earn a title. Most end up at the 1800 graveyard.
It is an adult decision to realize you are at your limits, and it is time to pursue something else. There is no reason to quit entirely, but it is fine to have other interests.
If you want to keep going, just remember a title payer has not simply mastered chess, but has gone to a place above mastery. It takes a lot of training to get there.
No matter what i do how i train, Ive tried to train my brain in the most uncomfortable position no matter what, I still can't calulate well, I'm not missing intermezzo moves, but i feel like this is the end, I'll still beat the lower-rateds but I feel I can't improve my calulation much now, Im good at attacking expoliting weakness and making them, but without calulation everything's worthless.
Well... You do not have to play chess. There are other fun games. Personally, I play chess because I like to solve puzzles in my spare time. I do not care so much about the stress of playing with a timer, competitions, etc. I use to play poker, but online apps are rigged and not random dealt cards.
Bobby Fisher got fed up of chess, because he saw the game as too predictive, not creative, etc. He wished he could compose songs! LOL Perhaps he knew too much about all the chess moves and it got boring? I also think he did not like the social pressure?
There is also the possibility that your brain is not wired to recognize visual patterns in a moving space & time dimension? If this is the case it normal that you cannot progress as fast as other who have this capacity. I know many people who will never be good at chess, but are amazing at doing other things.
To be honest, I am not sure I will ever be a good chess play, because I do not like being under pressure. I play to keep my brain occupied at solving puzzles when ever I am not busy composing music (this is my real talent).
How can we compete against people whos brains are wired accordingly and started at a young age?
Perhaps it is not important to win against other, but to win at being ourselves.

It never does last- those that play solely for Rating.
You either enjoy the hobby or not.
Ratings always max out - then what ?

You graduate and focus on learning the truth about how civilizations are created and destroyed (i.e., pattern recognition)?
I have a tedency to lose when I play online because I make a lot of blunders. I think it is due oñe dimensional chess symbols. I can play better with physical pieces. Is this common?

even connect 4 maybe
this is a more subtle "type 1 if i should leave chess.com and 0 if i shouldnt"

I am the complete opposite! I can't see anything on an actual chess set. I can only play online! (Well sort of anyway.....)
Do some quadratic equations
What I know about the top guys is... "Very Good Memory". i.e. Magnus playing 3 games blindfolded, at the same time. If your memory is bad, then there is a place where you will stop and won't get past that point. So maybe the answer is nothing to do with chess, but rather memory improvement. You will have to do thorough research on this, since most "activities" and exercises won't help. Silencing the mind and meditation is a start.
Hey guys scroll up and solve my puzzle
I did
thx
