Is it better to play rated game or non rated game if to much obsession about my rating?  How to get over this think about rating to much?

Chess.com should offer a function where your rating and that of your opponents is hidden. Your rating would still exist and you'd play people of similar strength but without the hassle of seeing it go up and down, unless you want to. It should be optional. Then people can just play.

The rating is a measure of the level of play.

I will suggest to keep playing rated games.

Or take a break.

Interesting. I like that idea. I would vote in favour of it if there was a poll.

Although I would still look for my opponent rating.
