I am starting to hate chess

I had the exact same problem, but I think I learned with experience how to fix it. You can only play on good sleep if you want. DO NOT stay up late playing; that almost destroyed chess for me. If you lose, analyze the game. Resign if you have to and move on. Chess is only rewarding when it is played right. Playing is not represented by accuracy but by improvement. If you feel nervous to play blitz or rapid, play bullet. If you lose, remind yourself that bullet is hardly real chess.
You know rating is not a measure of intelligence, it is a rating of results and nothing else. Set yourself a stop point, today no more than x number of games regardless of results. Go do something else afterward. If you trigger yourself for a blunder stop playing. Each turn should be what is the best move for this position? Nothing more nothing less. Think of it as navigating a maze as that is all any of us are doing. I have been where you are and 1200 is a good rating, it is the begining of intermediate and over 90% of profiles on this site are sub 1200. Some games your brain just performs sub optimally for plans, tactics and blunders loads. It is going to happen until you train it better at blunder checking and not being on auto pilot.
Play the bots. That way you can challenge yourself at different levels and not have the pressure of losing rating if you don't win.
GM_LightningStorm I dont have the paid version so I cant really analyze and the real problem is that I have school so i really only have time in the afternoon or night.But Ill try to find time and thank you for helping
Your rating is just a measure of what you've learned. If you attach it to your ego then you're going to suffer.
I am starting to hate threads about people who are starting to hate chess.
It's not hate. It's frustration of losing games and rating points.
you should stop seeing chess as a AAA video game, where game companies feed you and you keep consuming content and progressing linearly
chess is different, you may have some lucky matches, you meet some new guys and can go up quickly in a day.. but that is not your rating.
rating is a gap between two numbers, that you usually go up and down. sometimes gaps might be too large on low rating and it may be more precise/narrow on higher ratings.
rage quit implies a big disappointment, but think how long have you been putting effort into this? there is no big fall for you yet, let alone disappointments.. what was your expectations.. think about it.
Yes I am currently also in a losing streak!! At these times stay positive and don't be afraid to take a break from chess from time to time .

You could make the switch to Tic Tac Toe. Probably lose FAR less often!

Haha, but it's a forced draw!
Only way to get over it is to get better and actually win
It's easy to say, hard to do.
All the things that are fun in this world have the potential to be hated.
