No, you are not bad at all (in my eyes). Some of the strongest grandmasters on the planet consider you to be a weak player compared to them. But, in my opinion, even being able to reach 1600 is an amazing feat. And sometimes, there may be certain points in time where you feel you aren't playing your best. That's when I practice against bots so that my rating is not affected. Hope this helps.

yeah but im hugging so low now, I cannot recover, and idk what to do
Sounds like you just need to just slow down and take a breath before you make any moves. I wouldn't sweat your ELO either. I know that's easier said then done but it's just a number, and computers will always be better chess players than most of us humans anyway, so what does it really matter?
its okay dude you got this!

سلام دوستان من اولین روزه ک عضو شدم کسی هست راهنمایی کنه ک چ مسیری برم؟
Could have slower games if not that then probably play fewer games per day because once you start seeing that after a game you feel like you're fatigued then stop it for the day or else it's really gonna hurt your next game.
You may need to learn your openings again and study them more in-depth, variations, and also learn your opening by playing moves your opponent might make at your level (those that don't know the opening) and seeing what engine likes.
Whenever my opponents play a move in my opening that I didn't study for or know the follow-up, I go to analysis after the game and quickly check through it and see what I should've done and expand upon that in probably put it in my repertoire2.
Might need to play 1-3 games a day for now and put most of your energy into those 1-3 games.
Bestusernameyoueversaw, never give up and never surrender.
Tilting is a big self mental game. Gotta shake it off and keep trying to be your best self! Maybe try playing with a different community, tournaments, or get a mentor that will be able to give pointers to shake it off. You got this bud!

On October 15th, I was at my peak rating of 1602 elo. I proceeded to instantly bomb my elo and fell to 1280-1300. It's now November 7th. I feel like I move way too fast and my openings are leading me to lose. Am I just bad?
You are not bad, but you can get better by playing more slowly and playing better openings.

I know what huge drops in rating are like. I've got several videos, forums, blog posts and probably other things which may help you too 
In the meantime, here are two videos which should help a ton. The first is a video on my Stop-Loss System and the second video is nearly an hour long where I share all 7 types of tilt I know of and share the antidotes to each one as well!
You play hundreds of games a month, but only get one review a day. Maybe you slipped into bad habits. If you are not going to review your own games or get chess.com to do it, try Lichess since it is free and has the review feature. Likely you can pull back a couple hundred Elo by identifying your common errors. Import the games, analyse them. Specifically your losses. Then play slower, see if you return to your higher Elo.

Hello, my friends, the first day I became a member, can anyone guide me on which way to go?
My biography:
My name is Sajjad Garshasbi. I am a writer and screenwriter. I have a bachelor's degree in directing from the Faculty of Arts and a bachelor's degree in software (computer) from the Faculty of Mathematics. My life is based on three passions. Book ; Cinema and chess! These three give me the meaning of life. I live in Iran and my nationality is Iranian, but I don't believe in boundaries, races, etc. and I love all the people of the world equally and equally. We are all human and that's enough for me. I can mention the novel Sam and the Army of Wolves. This novel is my first work and it is very important for me. The genre of the book Sam and the Army of Wolves is epic/fantasy/historical and it is narrated in a fictional and ancient world. to be My intention is to turn my writings into cinematic works such as movies and TV series in the future. That too internationally for all humans.
Due to the restrictions that exist in Iran and countries like it, I have not been able to become a member of the World Chess Association and, as a chess lover, play with other people in the world and learn from them. Now, with this condition, I could hardly become a member. I am asking for your help on how to proceed in order to succeed. please guide me. thank you. By Sajjad Garshasbi

Hi @SajjadGarshasbi
For starters, stay on topic to the forum threads you post in. Your post isn't related to "Tilt" (topic of this thread) and your block of text looks like spam (even if it isn't).
If you want advice on how to improve at chess ("can anyone guide me on which way to go?"), then you can learn a ton online even if you aren't part of an in-person chess organization. Playing on chess.com a lot and analyzing your own games is a great way to start.

Thank you dear friend. What I mean is that I have joined this site and I want to learn everything online here. Which forum should I enter now to join a team? Thank you for answering.
