I looked at your last match. You played against a 919 rated player who hung M1 on move 6. You missed it and then lost later in the match. This seems to indicate that your dip in form is caused by tilt rather than your opponents being strong for their rank.

Define "good." If you mean better than average, then you are already better than the average and therefore "good" at chess!
However, the knowledge gap is much greater as the rating goes up, so it takes much more chess knowledge to increase rating from say 900 to 1000 compared to 1900 to 2000 even though the interval is 100 rating points in both.
I haven't noticed any difference in how ratings have played lately, but there is a little fluctuation as new players learn chess and the average rating shifts slightly over time.
Here is a video I made a few months ago on the average chess rating and here is also a video on choosing your chess opening which would certainly help someone around your rating range

see thank you for this, this is what i was looking for. i have no clue what's going on with me lately. definitely have to slow down and just focus on playing well.
@chrisfarlee I know how you feel. What suprises me is that you "usually sit around" any particular rating. I play regularly and am very frequently swinging up and down 200-300 points. Taken over a long enough timespan my skill and rating definitely improves over time but there are periods when it decreases steadily for a few months at a time.
I wouldn't worry too much about it; I think there is some "ratcheting" inherent in the process of learning chess. It's a game where a lot of carefulness is required at all times and I think that actually we sometimes lose that carefulness as we get more familiar with certain positions and tactics.
Nothing is wrong with your brain; I suspect your playing has merely gotten more confident as you've gained skill, and so you need some more time to play at this higher level so that it doesn't cause you to assume that you know what to do in positions that seem familiar but really aren't
So i usually sit around 1000-1050 by no means am i a good player. However i do regularaly do lessons, watch videos, play against bots, etc, to improve. i regularly beat 1300 and under bots with little to no effort. But lately i can barely play against 850's and 900's? ive lost over 100 points in the past couple days and no matter what i try to do, im left crushed. Maybe ive developed dementia at a young age and am just forgetting how to play. Figured id ask if anyone else has noticed something similar.
Edit: confirmed I've just been playing really bad lately. Feel free to share any experiences you may have had with tilt or review some of my latest games and roast me or give me a tip. cheers.
