I suck to
I wanna get better though
could you coach me if you decide to play for fun or not?
I can't improve, should I give up and just play for fun?
Sort:
You don't want a weak player like me coaching you.

You'll get more meaningful responses if you list the steps you've taken already to try to improve your game.
Practice everyday with actual matches, I study games, and generally study loses as well as wins, but generally loses are looked at more. I play around a hr a day on average.

There is no reason not to play OTB tournament. It is actually the best way to improve. And yes, you definitely should play for fun.
I get incredibly angry at myself when I play poorly. I know we all lose, but it burns when you blunder your own queen etc. Yes I will try to concentrate on the fun. I'm never going to be magnus afterall.

If blunders are the problem, what have you tried to minimise them in your game?
YES!
Before you get good at blitz, get strong in 30+0 or 15|10.
A few lessons with a stronger player can help you fix your most urgent issues. Some weaknesses are easier to fix than you think—with the guiding hand of an experienced coach.
You’ve been playing for eight days… Indeed, if you haven’t improved by now, it’s hopeless 😉
do you like chess if you do keep doing it and follow your dreams

Weak players coaching weak players is not a good idea

Chess is infinite torture punctuated by occasional moments of glory and then more torture. If that's not for you, then yes...give up.

Your play is not weak! You are 1000 rating, which is very good! Already you know much about the game! Remember, hitting 1000 is a goal that many players have, and you have already achieved this!
I don't mind playing for just fun and that has its merits. How strong should you be able to play before attempting a tournament?
You can play an OTB tournament at whatever rating! Just continue playing, and over time you will improve dramatically! You can even take a break if you need to! Personally, it took me many years to improve (I'm not the quickest learner)! Now you see 12-year-olds becoming grandmasters!
