Kids ...
it’s a wonder that some grow up.
I feel the urge to cheat to "get revenge" when I lose a completely winning position.

Certainly, you are not one of the few children of your generation who did grow up.

Anyway, back to the topic's title, that's why I no longer give rematches in unrated [soon to be removed by moderator]. I was running into at least one cheater per day.
Brace yourself for the locking of this thread and muting of llama's new account.
The discussion/ topic is about chess ethics.
Leave it to Steven and his inspector Clueseau mentality ...
Got it 2K
I sometimes wish I never grew up ...
But I did.
It’s a burden that mature adults carry.

Cheating is rampant here, if you were to start, doubt you'd get banned.
Not really. I've played over a thousand games and can count on one hand the number of times I've faced a cheater.
Anyways, garbage posts like the one you are attempting are just another reason chess.com doesn't let cheating discussions go on very well.
Bad topic. OP thinks he is better than others and wants to cheat. Classic character.

I disagree with this assessment. I imagine we all have things that can trigger us beyond reason and make us want to react out of proportion. There's an honestly to admitting what one of those things are. How we feel in a moment of anger is not how we are in general, though how we handle such instances matters. The OP isn't saying they've given in to it or think they should, only that they had such feelings.

Hello!
You got (at least) 2 problems: That rage management issue, that you admitted. Problem is, it's not chess related. You should realy seek some help about that. If chess can trigger THAT kind of anger, probably other stuff when you get frustrated because of other failures in your life will trigger it too. It's not a healthy way on the long term.
2nd. Setting up expectations about your chess, that not matches with your current "real skill". I made the same mistake a few years back. I drew a line, that my chess skill should be "this" high. And players with that skill level "should do this" and "shouldnt do this" etc. Forget about it! Its stupid! It completely killed my chess, took every fun out of it. I made more mistakes with that attitude, and I stopped playing competitive chess for a few years becasue of it. When I started again, I was in a phase of acceptance about my chess level, and I didnt let bother my mistakes anymore. Everybody makes mistakes! Stupid ones! Even GMs! Yes, they make less, but still, the errors out there! Stop focuse on "I should have win this because my rating is that high", and focus on learning the part of the game that makes you lose those winning games. My chess improved a lot when I stopped that "expectations attitude". Now Im not afraid, to get drawish positions against lower rated opponents from the oppenings (because I should win, due my higher ratings) and still winning more than before, because most of them cant hold draw even if it's draw. I have "removed" the pressure I should win in 20 moves etc. Setting up goals is important, but setting up unnecessary expectations, making more pressure on yourself is NOT!
Play chess! Have fun! Learn if you have time and the will! And accept that you will lose "winning" games because of stupid mistakes. Everybody does!
If you make a mistake, you deserve to lose. It's as simple as that.
Don't worry, you'll have another chance to win next time.

What’s the big deal if you lose a game ! 🤷♂️........it’s not the end of the world for Christ sake ! ........in every game there are winners and losers. If you don’t like losing then stay out of the game , until you learn to accept your losses.
I have run your end game a variety of ways and material may be good but your position is not great. The knight i pinned and baring a check move and a revealed mate next by you you will lose the knight most of the time.
PS Id love to play you...
