I have seen people analyse their games (especially lost games) for improvement.
But I find myself analysing the games that I have won and I know I haven't made any bad/inaccurate moves.
Why is it so? I analyse my won games just because I feel happy to see my accuracy more than 85% higher numbers makes me happier. But I end up not analysing my lost games.. so I am facing difficulty to improve. Please someone give me confidence to do so..
I just play chess to get higher rating... not for learning and improving.

If you want a higher rating, you need to learn and improve. If you want to learn and improve, then you should analyze games you lost.

To get higher rating, you have to stop making mistakes. To stop making mistakes, analyze the games and find what you did wrong. Mistakes are what holds you back, because opponents exploit them. So analyze, find mistakes, stop doing them, and repeat.
I believe most people should look at areas they were stuck at in a complicated position. If you play the same opening, then the problem may come up again and you'll hopefully know what to do.
