Chessmaster your rating is fairly good. However I don't reccomend playing yourself. You learn very little if you play yourself because you are not confronted with anything unfamilar. Use the tatics trainer or play medium or hard level computers to learn.
how can I play the better me ??

Just play some LiveChess, set your challenge seek to a higher rating than yours and off you go. (c:
Playing by yourself is an option... if you're locked away by yourself in a jail cell (see "die Schachnovelle")
Give me more credit of course I all ready considered this but some of the chessclubs I go to dont have internet connection or else I wouldn't even ask this lol?

my advise play against those lower rated in the club, you can learn something from their mistakes.
playing against yourself is kind of difficult cause you know your own plan for both sides. unless you take very long time to think about how to "attack yourself". you might go along with the idea that a plan for one side is better than the other.
another thing about blunder alert. it is a good idea to think about why it gives you a blunder alert. but do not take any move back. it makes you lazy if you take moves back all the time you make a blunder. think before moving is the lesson.
I would all the time prefer to play a human instead even a lower rated.
what I like about my chess club is that nobody is too good to play anybody.
the best may play against the lowest rated in the club.

i use blunder alert just for that and takeback my moves even after the blunder alert and even though s plan the challenging part of playing myself cause if side it showns me better what ack in knowledge since a game against myself should always be a draw in my oppinion.
I have to believe playing against anybody is far better than playing against yourself. You need to expose yourself to the kind of moves a real opponent would make, not just the moves you think an opponent might make, because the way you are playing you never get a surprise move to deal with.
Give the other club members odds. Or play multiple at once. Your opponents will make better moves if they have more time to think. When I play beginners, I usually give them queen odds at least.
If you really want to even it up, play rushian pawns. The more simple the game is, the more even both sides are. I bet you can still learn in that case. Starting simple is actually the best way to teach new people.
You can also let them make the first 3 moves, so you have to fight your way out of an opening attack or start out behind in development.
When giving someone odds, I don't know if it is better to attack early and hope they don't know how to stop it, or if it is better to make solid defensive moves and hope they don't know how to use their superior force to break through. In either case, your plans are based on hope that you can last until your opponent makes some blunders.
What approach do masters take when giving odds to a class C player?
Sometimes if I'm at a chessclub and when theres a bunch of games going and the only people avalible for a game are way below my rating or beat to often I find it more amusing to simply play myself (unless someone directly challenges me) and sometimes this is good and all but I wanted to know what is the best way to get all the learning you can from playing yourself ? I for example will play on my laptop where I set the computer for blunder check so if I mess up on one sideI can quickly take advantage of it (when I mess up I dont know that I do since i'm playing the other side so i usually think a move made is ok aswell) But i wanted to know whaat else can be done aswell. Playin against myself alone when I first started out I got my rating to a estimated 800somethin in a few months after learning the game by usein some engine so if more can be done I think that would be great.
