Losing every chess game

Since i started playing i think i have played about 150 games on this website, at first i won a few games but the more i learn the more i lose. My question is, should i be learning more instead of playing? I really lose every single game i play..

Hi. Try playing against a computer to learn the right opening. Also, select opponents with as low a rating as possible, in order to start winnning matches again.

And on the bright side, more than one GM has postulated that it takes 10,000 lost chess games to become a good chess player!

I've lost more than 20,000 at 3 0 and longer time controls and another 10,000+ and bullet. I must be a phenomenal chess player.

I think GMs assume you're playing long slow classical chess.  Don't think the math works for blitz or bullet; maybe not even for rapid.  Still, by most standards, you are a good player, and compared to the chess.com norm, you are phenomenal!
