Post a recent game you've played and annotated.
No Improvement, what should I do?

I can relate to your question, it's a similar situation. My rating is around 1000, low rating player. As everybody says blundering and hanging pieces are the main reason for losing games at the low level. I would first work at that.
Second, play 30 min games or longer, blitz and 10 min is too short for us who still take time to calculate and have no tactical knowledge.
Also, look at tutorials like chess traps, you'll gain understanding of pieces' interaction.
It would help if you follow guys like agadmator on youtube - guy is great. Systematically analyses great games ( including Morphy, Tal and current players ), and you can learn from their play. It's fascinating what they're capable of.
And of course, you need to play great number of games. Play unrated, try out new openings, develop your mid game understanding, and one of the things where I usually screw up - end game.
Also, play higher rated players, some 200 - 300 higher than you.
As I said, I am still low rated, but that's OK. Those couple hours a day of chess help me relax and focus at the same time.
If you want we can play several games a day, it might help us both.
Good luck, mate.
Thank you for you insights and tipps. I will really give it a try. Also thanks to @SacredBeastSchachYt
I´ll give his advise a try too. Hope this will lift up my mood and Elo

Play a dozen games in chess.com at 15/10 time control. After that you can bump this thread. Those who joined a few hours ago rarely get serious answers.
https://www.chess.com/games/archive/tgbm95 There we go, 13 games, a baker's dozen. Possible to get a serious answer now?

I have been stuck between 800-850 few weeks and it is really frustrating. Currently on massive losing streak and feel really down about it. I just analysed my last game and saw almost instantly where it all went wrong even though I was in compeletely winning postion. I think what really could help me (and maybe you too) is to play slower games and really think every single move before you make them. If somebody wants to check my games for tips I would appreciate it
Keep playing! At the end of the day it is just a game and if you like it you should enjoy it no matter the rating. If you have chance you should try games on real chessboard too because it bring whole new perspective to the game (socially and otherwise) and other players are more than happy to guide you on the spot.

Two things stood out to me when I looked at a lot of those games, especially the ones you lost.
The first was that you sometimes threw away pieces. I don't mean you were tactically outmaneuvered and they pinned something, you just left pieces hanging or set yourself up to get pinned.
The second was that you'd randomly resign. Sure, not the best of positions, but not strictly lost either, there was plenty of room for a mistake for you to punish and take the game.
One of the purposes of a longer time control is an ability to look at the board and make sure all of your pieces are safe. You might not always catch some 3 move tactic but just something to go, "oh, he can't just take my queen with his knight in one move," or "I shouldn't take his pawn with my rook because his knight will just take me back." The kind of stuff you already understand consciously, you just didn't spot it at the time because you weren't watching that part of the board carefully enough.
You just have to practice being more careful and keeping an eye out for the little things. Everyone can make those kinds of mistakes, but reducing them will help you with a lot of your games. If you're worried that you've gotten as good as your talent would allow, that doesn't seem to be the case. You don't need to learn new things right now, just make sure you're paying enough attention to the old ones. That's what your games are boiling down to.
The funniest thing is that no one bothered to check the opening poster's profile. The account was created on August 23, played some blitz games, made this thread, then it was abandoned the next day.
This is clearly a troll thread.

lOl True.

Chess.com has a lot of troll threads, but I don't think this is one of them. Let's look at a few facts.
You say it is funny no one checked their profile, yet posts 3, 5, 7, and 8 cover the very topic of their game count, followed by the explanation that they played on other sites and a note on their expected rating, which is referenced in future posts. This has not been overlooked.
Why should we believe their claim and that they are not just making this up as a troll thread? With the suggestion in post 17 to play 15/10 games we get a response in post 25 with 13 games on that very time control. Actual games. They have an opening and while they blunder away some of those games they win several others. They played more since then. To put that much time and set-up to a thread you are trolling on doesn't make a lot of sense.
We see evident flaws expected of the challenges they claim to have, such as blundering pieces on quick takes from oversights despite making moves that make sense for the most part for where they are. This is likely a major source of frustration that will cost games regardless of the amount of material they read on the game because they still need to take down this essential early step.
Leaving an account this early? Why? Do trolls run on a short 2 pager and call it a day? Again the time investment does not make sense. What is more probable is that they likely decided they were tired of still trying to get better after some frustrating games and gave up, or possibly focused more on another site that they played more frequently on, though the first option better matches the tone of the thread.
Can I read their mind and guarantee this wasn't a troll thread? No. But looking at the evidence in their posts and games as well as the direction the thread turned out, I don't see a strong case for it being one. The thread was short yet reasonably on topic, filling us in on information explaining their circumstances and game data displaying both their difficulties and the seriousness of their thread. Everything they did, including their short account life, is reasonably explained by their posts.

a great coach too (so many!) chess gm Igor smirnov explains psychology and chess and the method of thinking after the first move until the end without any opening memorisation,(but to apply, must be calm)

Gm talks about important thing (to nottilt) "meditation"

Play long games instead of Blitz & set to solve a puzzle goal i.e. 5 puzzles per day. This will help u improve a lot.
Please *subscribe* to my channel Umang Knight on YouTube.

So I've been reading Silman's Reassess Your Chess and Complete Book of Chess Strategy, Paul van der Sterrens Fundamental chess openings, Bobby Fischer's 60 Memorable Games, and Clive Ke's How to Improve at Chess. I do puzzles 30 minutes a day and watch educational streams on twitch and youtube but I haven't seen any improvement and I've been doing this for a year. Should I just accept that I'm not good at chess and just give up?
Edit: I'm 25 and have been playing chess on and off for 15 years, and a clear cut yes or no would be incredibly helpful in making this decision.
maybe get betta at the geam? very very easy

Currently on 9 game losing streak. I feel like I have become worse and worse. In my last game my opponent played with 96,6 accuracy. In think I just have to put game down for few days because right now im going nowhere... Feel really frustrated.

JezZee I used to play ' friendly ' games with my son, where we would comment each others' moves... it was fun and it helped us both...
tbh I also get slightly frustrated when I see someone played with 95 accuracy. I usually vary between 45 and 75.

Tunning your spidey sense is done by playing tactics...
I think what NikkiKristofer meant is developing awareness of blunders being made. In the other words, with time one subconsciously starts paying more attention to the entire chess board and stops overseeing most of the blunders. Tactics would be the nextstep, I guess...
