If you go for a draw it is because you are the loser.
And that attitude is why you can't break through 1100.
I am ok with that. I am much better than I used to be 20 years ago when I lost almost every game I played at FICS.

If a continuation that leads to a draw is available, then (by definition) you are NOT losing.
You need to clarify your thinking.

Now you are talking chess strange person speak. Normal people see a tie as no different than a loss. You did not win.
2nd place is the first loser.
The only place where going for a tie is useful would be in tournaments. But normal people don't play in those.

And people see a tie no different than a win. We are all different so there is no reasoning behind that
Draws are for drawers.

I would suggest normal people recognizing a tie as neither a win or a loss. Simply a tie.

This is a very typical attitude from the US. Chess, like soccer, the most popular sport in the world, involves a large proportion of draws at pretty much every level. It's worse than a win, better than a loss. Just another available result.
If you hate draws that much, you might want to consider a game where they aren't an option.

I did a stalemate trick, yes I was lost, yes I was down 12 points of material, but I went for the draw…and succeeded, draws are beneficial for avoiding a loss…only reason op said this is bc he has skill issues himself

OP, ever heard of the phrase, “A perfect game is always a draw?” Was Karpov vs Kasparov’s many draws bc of one of them have given up?
No, it’s bc they are both so good, that neither of them can win, offense matches the other’s defense, it’s simply too hard to break through
