Blundering as a beginner in blitz games is no sign of having a talent or having no talent. You don't allow yourself to progress. It is almost like studying a foreign language by getting a random book in the said language and trying to read it. Some small fraction of people might even succeed that way, find some rules by themselves, but for most of us, it is not a good way.
Do you want to improve? Are you prepared to spend some time and effort to improve the game? If all of this you answer with yes, completely abandon blitz games. The shortest time control you should play is 15|10, and if you can play even longer games. In the beginning you might play too fast even then, but in time you will get better at time management. In case you want to put some time into reading, here is what you can do to improve your game:

If you are having fun with your blitz games and you don't really care about improvement that much, then it is completely fine to play any time control you like.
I think I have no talent in chess
I mean play “together” -> typo
He just closed his account... Though for everyone who sees I recommend this.

Lol, the longest I play is 10|0 xD....
Well, what can I say? It is ultimately your choice. 
I am just giving an advice that I feel will give the optimal chances for improvement.

Ugh well, I actually didn’t quit. I thought I set up the account wrongly because I chose “Beginner” which initializes me at 800 rating and it shows 800 to everyone even though I constantly drop below 800 playing Blitz 5|5. Sorry for the confusion.

OH.... Got it...
if you just play blitz to kill time...
anyways sometimes you just have to dedicate serious time to these things. Over the summer of 2019 and during quarantine I had nothing to do, so I clocked 6-8 hours of learning/playing chess each day.
In the words of Bill Clinton... "I feel your pain." But if you want to learn I feel like you have to play longer time controls. Blitz and Bullet is a hard, painful way to learn. Trust me. And I'm crap at chess. All I learned to do playing Bullet was how to move pieces fast. That's pretty much it. I would play the 24 hour games so you can sit and ponder every move. Look where you might be making a mistake. But I'm sub 800 scum. Take that with a grain of salt.
I tried different chess formats before and I believe Blitz 5|5 is the best for me right now. I don’t like games that take too long, and 5|5 is the longest I can get for a Blitz game. 5|5 is much better than a 5min in the sense that I don’t have to blunder every move in the endgame in order not to use up my time. Rapid games may be better, but I think I need to learn more before I can use my time efficiently in a rapid.

The point of rapid is YOU have more time to THINK, and to plan out moves! Then you train in rapid and get faster at making THOSE moves... Then eventually people switch to faster time modes.

The thing is that I don’t even know what to think with my moves. People playing blitz at 800 rating already seem invincible to me and I’m that bad at tactics currently.
Unrelated but idk why my quotes are broken.
When I was new to the game, I only played 15/15 games, or longer. Any shorter, and I felt too rushed.
It's also worth investing in some good beginner chess books. They can help shorten the learning curve considerably.
(Also, for what it's worth: I don't believe "talent" exists in chess. Unless you're a reincarnation of Paul Morphy. For the rest of us mortals, chess ability is a product of learning and experience.)

Try this: This about everything. "Why did my opponent do this?" "Does that attack something" "Does that threaten something DANGEROUS?!"
I sucked at chess when I was a kid, and I wanted to fix this problem when I heard of online chess. It turns out that I still suck at chess as a grown human.
I’ve played for roughly a month (this isn’t my first account) and I’m still at beginner level. I have no vision of any kind when it comes to chess. I can’t see if my rooks or queen are in immediate danger, and I can’t see my opponents’ blunders when they leave their queens in the open. It took me a week or two to learn how to avoid being checkmated in 6 moves (which I still blunder sometimes). I’m completely unable to solve puzzles at 800 rating.
I still treat chess as a pastime. Blitz is good for killing time. I don’t play rapid because I play rapid like blitz - I don’t know how to think, and I feel like it’s a waste of time waiting for my opponents to outsmart me. Sometimes I spend 1 minute avoiding a blunder, and then I proceed to make a bigger blunder. Though I’ll still continue playing chess. It’s just that a part of me wanted to say this out.
