How not to suck - please any tips 😭

The feeling of being bad at chess doesn’t go away, you can here Anand, Hikaru, and Magnus say the same things “I’m so bad at chess”
It’s natural to feel that way after playing one or more bad games.
Look up basic checkmate patterns, such as the greco, corridor, or smothered mates.
Do frequent tactics puzzles, this is what sharpened my tactical vision.
Follow opening principles control the center, develop your minor pieces to good squares, and get castled quickly.
Watch out for cheap tricks such as scholar’s mate.
Study basic endgame concepts, such as opposition and outside past pawns.

Maybe someone with a decent rating would see it differently though..
