Afraid to lose Elo

I'm scared that my mom will take away my computer and permission to go to red knight chess club if i dont get 100 elo in 6 days bruh

For the past several weeks, I have neglected to play live chess because I'm anxious that I might win the game and gain ELO, ruining my chances to lose against lower rated players. I am having trouble getting over this and I know I can't become worse without playing worse people. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get over this?

Hit yourself on the head until you get a concussion.

Today I lost 20 rating points and likely if I continued playing I could have lost 100. If you start going on a tilt you should always stop and take a break, and you will probably easilly gain the points back.

I find what works best for me is to try and find the most fun way to play. I stopped worrying over elo and started taking a few risks to make the game more interesting. Funnily enough, once I stopped caring so much about elo, I started gaining more. I'm sure there's some weird psychology thing about this, and I can't guarantee it'll work for you, but it works for me.

if you got a specific rating, no matter how far down you drop, you will be able to get back

It's just something about mentality, you just have to don't care at all ..

Haha, true. However please refrain from using profanity to describe individuals whom you most likely have never met. Also, don't throw bricks in glass houses, it typically shatters the walls of illusion and self-delusion.
