That is the usual answer. Most people play too fast, and miss stupid stuff, and get burned. I do it all the time.. I often have 3 days to make a move, and spend all of 30 seconds... log in next day and... smackdown. See if it improves if you take more time in complex positions.
True
Try not to be annoyed. Is just a game. Learn joyfully

You spent 8 seconds on the move where you blundered the knight fork losing your queen. So yeah.

I actually spent a little longer on it because I analyzed a couple of moves back but I missed that my pawn was pinned

When I blunder its because I spend my time looking at what I can do and forget moves my opponent can make

It's actually an understandable mistake, you will find this at any rating in blitz. Just realise that the board changes massively after his rook is aiming at your king. Always look at how things change. Look at the board as a whole after a move, you grabbing that pawn was really greedy but up to that point you played very well.

Firstly, if you're at all like me and get bored easily and therefore only play blitz/rapid, you just have to accept that blunders are inevitable under time pressure. Secondly, are you getting enough sleep? I commit more blunders when I'm underslept.

Good point

I continually seem to make blunders in regards to pawns being pinned. Here is one of the games I played today... any tips. I’m just so annoyed with my self lately I don’t know what to do... take my time maybe? This is like the third game where I missed an obvious tactic.
Move 12 (rook to g3) was also a mistake as Black can now attack the rook and the bishop with the knight. If the rook now moves to e3 then the bishop is not protected by the Queen anymore.

This. I get 'tunnel vision' when I think I'm just a few moves to a win, focusing on the moves I need to make. I make an important move and a piece comes out of nowhere and destroys my plan
