I kept resigning when losing my queen. How to stop getting discouraged
Start using your clock time to make sure the move you are planning to make is safe to make, with all of your pieces, pawns included. When you trade pieces, make sure it is at least equal in value, or to your advantage. You are giving away pieces left and right. I looked at a game of 13 moves and you gave away 2 pawns, traded your Queen for a bishop, then traded your Bishop for a pawn, and then resigned when you moved your other Bishop where it could be taken by a pawn. This all took place in a ten-minute game in only 1minute and 11 seconds. Use your time and start looking far more carefully.

By making sure that it can’t be captured when moving it; or paying attention to ur opponent’s last move to make sure that they didn’t attack anything

When you get better at chess, then knowing the places of places at a quick glance would become more like instinct to you
Look for blunder checks, don't move your pieces to fast before you can think.
Also, don't resign every game, you still have an advantage.
Good vibes mate. Hope you get on a good run soon.

At your level? Simply don’t resign. Ever. The odds of your opponent hanging a piece back, or backrank mate, or accidentally stalemating means there’s simply no reason to resign prematurely.
From what I heard, time management and blunder checking. But that last one is something that’s hard to do. It’s like taking a test, but just not having the energy to check ALL of your answers. So, manage your time wisely, make the move that stands out to you. Playing long games helps with this. In those long games, it’s also easier to look at your opponent’s side of the board and think what they would do after you make a move. (Basically blunder checking).
