I play chess for fun, and people are asking me if they want to be my coach. Wow. Maybe I could just stay at this rating? I won't even care by now. People tell me to get a rest, well I think I did it once, and really want to have a good life. Don't dm me for coach. I'm just gonna move on!
Ik you guys wanna help, but at this point I just play for fun.
Why do you play 30 minute games when your attention span isn't long enough? Stupid flip.
Stupid p**sy didn't check the ratings. He is a 200, and you expect me to play with him 3 or 1 min? I saw that slower game modes help the beginners, and I'm trying to help him! Morony piece of trash that can't even go deeper. I played fast only and got a bit worse! What? you don't want a news article about you being absolutely but truely dumb? Title may say "Man can't go deeper before he said that someone was a stupid flip because of attension span". Try to roast me you Big blue menthal password related debated m********ed rated Hey Ted! pay attention or your tension has an extension, dimension detension in suspension to the loo boo poo goo a** History notebook look Facebook, take a look stupid bullet flip dip skip wip tip rip cant even have "3 puzzles per day to improve" player!

My rating is low and I can't know my true rating. I just don't wanna think about it. I moved on to some other interests. Just motivate me or something.
have a small rest and come back afresh.
I have my own experience.
when I was out of form, I just stopped playing for a while and started playing again.
what happened was:
795 to 1000 blitz
average of <35 in PR to consistent 35s
(LC) 1497 blitz to 1590
puzzles: ~2610 to 2780 (now lowered again)
(LC) puzzles: 2050 to 2400
u see what I mean? these aren't small changes
Thank you for the tip, I already did that once but not in this time period. Still, thank you so much and I hope you go higher and higher 
!
What do you mean you do not know your true rating? You do. Just check your profile. You played 380 rapid games, 350 blitz games and 1680 bullet game. This is enough to establish your true rating.

the ratings
I think this way of thinking might be a part of the problem you are facing trying to improve.
You seem to think that you are underrated. What logically follows is that you seem to think that you should already be higher rated without any need for improvement.
That is not the case. You need to improve the way you play to get a higher rating. In order to do that, you need to first accept that your "true rating" is what your rating actually is and that the fact that you have beaten some 1400 sometime does not change that. One game played at 1500 level, does not make you a 1500. You need to be consistent.
I say this as no offense. I just wanted to bring this to your attention, since I really think it might be a big part of what is holding you back.

A focus on rating will do nothing to help you improve. Identifying and correcting errors will. The OP is oblivious to threats and hence gives away material.

I will quote myself: "You need to improve the way you play to get a higher rating"
The point being, there is a need to improve and thinking that there is no need to improve is what is holding OP back.
I did not state that a focus on rating will help improve. I said that realizing that one needs to improve and that there is room for improvement will.
I hope I am making myself clear here.
You should quit chess if you don't get to have fun anymore. Ratings don't ever matter, chess.com is all about fun.

I do have fun, these tips are helping me but I've moved on already! I think the reason that is because my moving on is so buried that people just go in and tell me something like this. But I'd reccomend this to someone who might wanna quit chess.

I think we’re generally in agreement.
You are correct that the OP cannot improve by thinking of himself as a 1500ish player because he played at that level once. Honest self-assessment is needed.
I simply think the honestly that is needed will be facilitated by looking at why the play is consistently lower than desired.

You mean that your bullet, blitz and rapid ratings are different from each other? Why do you expect them to be the same?

Your rating is realistic, as it is determined by actual games you play in different rating pools.
Lower level bots are overrated by several hundred points, and you can't use them to determine your level. They do not play as well as humans of the same rating level. They are much weaker.
There is nothing wrong with being a novice level player, everyone has to start from somewhere.
If you like playing, there is no reason to stop. If you don't like it, that is another matter completely.
That is not necessarily true. The Alexandra Botez bot plays like a god for 2100 ELO.
I said lower rated bots. So for instance some 1 100 bot plays more like 600 or something like that. The issue is that it blunders without any reason. You attack a piece with the pawn and it puts his queen to be taken and something like that.
2 100 is already more realistic, though I would say that 2 100 human is still a bit better, but I am not sure because I didn't play that bot too much after I've beaten it in the first few tries.
And really higher rated bots are probably more in tune with humans of the same level.
I once made a forum about this too..Chess is difficult and i hardly improved but I keep training until I get better.

which one should I believe? the blitz, bullet or rapid?

You will, but look at players rating progress charts, even Carlsens, it is not a straight line upwards, ever.

no problem--
Why do you play 30 minute games when your attention span isn't long enough? Stupid flip.
only 2, my classmate also joined chess and he was a beginner. Are you stupid enough to not know he's a beginner? I'm just trying to play with him and enjoy! It's almost the end of the school year!
