Were there any points early on where you were generally worse than those in your rating range?

Obviously you are underrated USCF right now, but is there any rating that you were stuck at for a long time (chess.com or USCF)?

now that i think about it, there weren't really ever moments in USCF where i was frustrated about rating as i was kinda just mad i couldn't beat someone so we became rivals in tournaments that weren't even rated. after i began learning more about chess and ratings i was just obsessed with the idea of trying to get as high as i could with all my efforts. i don't really think there was much frustration e except old times where i would be toxic on not being 2200

yes a ton and i think something that most people don't realize was that back then i was just a garbage 1000 rated player who was not even good. i would brag about being the best at my school but then at the same bad scholastic tournament i would always fail to other higher low rated players which upset me. i was kinda like a jerk and learned to be a better team captain later on as i was like determined to win so much yet yeah looking back i was incredibly garbage

*also i stayed basically 1000 until 2020 where i kept playing and got really good, this is me now*

i chose it out of a spiritual meaning cause i felt like it would fit me best at the time, the original name i chose was Fuchuina which is a Japanese translation meaning "Careless" while this name is now Kowarenai meaning "Unbreakable" so just emotions, nothing more than that
