I can’t play anymore

I think chess is really not my thing anymore, every time I play chess I keep losing. It has become demoralising at this point. I write this as I feel utterly devastated at my incompetence and humiliated. The least I feel I must do to hide my shame is to delete my account and give up on chess forever.

Losing sucks, but it's part of the game

Change the time control you play. I was 2600 bullet and now I dropped to 2300. Instead of being demoralised I played some blitz and did much better there

I appreciate your responses and tips fellas, I hope to continue playing now that I’ve vented out my frustration. Yeah, I should definitely change the time control as well, I’ve been playing bullet for too long, thanks for the suggestion marqumax (you’re pretty good!)

Play 15|10 rapid and analyse your losses.

Losing is not a valid excuse for quitting Chess, you don't win every time, in any game.

It's just a game. There is nothing wrong with losing.

Devastated and humiliated to keep losing? It happens to everyone, it's not that big of a deal.

It sounds like you are just mad you keep losing.

Just play unrated games so you don't lose ELO and there is no pressure.

Is 10 min or 10|5 fine?

Still the OP found a reason to stop playing

Or if you lose all your bullet matches, you can use pre-move as a last resort! 😊
