I had the same feelings when I was playing only Rapid. I changed to Daily, and the anxiety went away. My elo is
Higher in Daily, but I switched after a particularly discouraging losing streak in Rapid, and I’m pretty sure I could get my Rapid rating in line with Daily. But then I’d be worried again?

Just focus on playing a good game and you won’t worry about the rating much

You win some you lose some, if you don’t worry too much you will improve way past 400.
Also don’t play unrated as the other guy suggested.

"I am scared of losing elo when I play chess with other players."
++ That is like being scared of the scale when on a diet,
or being scared of the thermometer when ill.

Ay not gonna lie same bro, ig
Oops anyway what I was saying is don't chase losses
My hard out is if I lose more than 2 games, I'll either change time control or play bots. I didn't even play online for the first 6 months I played bots only. Also only play when ur up for it and not all the time
