Lately ive been discovering computers as alot harder than normal players. Ill play live and vs a computer of relatively same ratimg and the computer will be a huge load more difficult, is this normal?

Depends. First, I wouldn't assume computer ratings are all that accurate. But suppose there was a competition between a 1600 computer and two 1600 humans, one with an energetic tactical style and one with a strategic positional style. The two humans would be equally matched, but the strategist would fare better against the computer than the tactitian.

one big problem of mine is my weak pawn usage. In the engame a computer will have like 4 more pawns than me because I dont.use pawns to their full potiental.

Well, if we could figure out the right balance between piece play and pawn play we would all be masters.
