You should probably try to see if you can capture something, or if they can capture something, such as if they move their queen to a seemingly passive square, be aware if you’re about to move your piece, as long as it isn’t on the queens reach or if it’s at least defended

Okay, so you are doing some good things already. It seems you are trying to brute force things with lots of games. But I think your time could better be spent only playing a few rapid games each day and then thoroughly reviewing them afterwards.
I also think you should try to follow basic chess principles and not over complicate things. Not to self promote, but my youtube https://www.youtube.com/@SmolBeanSprout has a video on it titled, Back to Basics - Helping Chess Beginners with Good Principles. I'd maybe give it a watch. Or perhaps search youtube for "chessbruh habits series" and start from the beginning.

Try watching some speed runs from Rosen, Naroditsky etc. who tell you not only WHAT they are doing but WHY they are doing it.

This can also help, NM nelsi made this Chess Adventures series with chess puzzles that follow a story. My son went from 100 to 1000 in 1 year watching these and speed runs, solving puzzles and playing games.

I've looked at a lot of your games and from what I can tell there are too major problems. 1. You resign the game before even starting. I've seen a couple games in the history of this happening. This lowers your rating when it could be going higher. 2. You are not seeing your opponents hanging pieces/Making sure your pieces are defended. You should make sure your pieces are defended at the beginning of your turn.
Some suggestions on training material: 1. Download the website "Chessable" and get the free course "Everything You need to know about Chess" By Daniel Rensch https://www.chessable.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-chess/course/193039/
Work through this course for 20-30 minutes everyday. Really try to understand what the course is talking about and don't rush through. 2. One of my favorite series on youtube is from the channel "Chessbrah". They have a series called "Building Habits". Watch this to learn some basic habits to have as a chess player.
3. Puzzles are great! Keep on working at these!
What not to study and what is a waste of time: 1. Studying openings. I would recommend you play the opening just as Daniel Rensch shows in his chessable course which I have gave the link to.
2. Don't do too much studying! Give yourself a break every now and then.

You keep on tilting. Guys look at their game archive it is obvious they is tilting. Tilting is when you lose a game become so angry of yourself that you play even worse. Just rest after you lose At least 2 games.
I gave up playing online chess, i just am not good enough yet and it was no fun with all the mismatches. I either kill them or they killed me. To learn i do what most beginning accounts do now. I play until i either blunder badly or get out of position and just resign. The opponents seem to be doing the same thing i am, they play until they blunder or get out of position and they resign. This is at least teaching me how to get a decent opening position or i just resign and start another game.
On chess.com and here this seems to be the thing, especially new accounts

Rn don’t focus or stress on openings tactics and whatsoever, fianchettoing your bishops is a good idea though as you restrict your opponents ability to develop and move comfortably
When you’re gonna attack, or move a piece to a better square, make sure it’s defended, I saw a game of yours and saw how you didn’t capture the queen who took your rook, if your rooks are on the same file and nothing is between them (aka rook sees rook) they both protect eachother, if one gets captured the other recaptures

Tactics are a great way to get a edge in chess. Why do you say not to do tatcics?

You have to study openings. Dont fall for beginners do not have to study openings, only tactics.
If you don't know openings for white and black responses, chances are you won't make through middle game and you will not use any tactic, or if you could get, you will be far behind and will lose anyway,
Study openings and ways to avoid traps. These can make you go through middle game. Once there, learn your tactics. After, you can pass to the end game, and you will have to study end games. And you are gonna start making plans, strategies, etc..
But start Choosing openings beginners friendly.
There are tons of lessons around.
Don't fall for the don't study openings, study tactics. It's a fallacy.
Good luck

It isn't a fallacy. I got to above 1000 only using basic opening principles like develop your pieces, control the center, and look at your opponent's threat's. As for not falling into traps, that is a different thing than openings.
I don't wanna complain, but is this normal? I don't wanna invest time on stuff I won't get better at. Ty guys for ur advices.
