So I am a bit confused about the queen's gambit right now, so you saw yesterday, I was playing with a guy that countered the queen's gambit opening, aka Albin's counter gambit (Idk if that is correct) is there any way to recounter Albin's gambit, because Albin's Gambit is a big problem to me, why ? because I always use queens gambit openings as my favorite  opening (for white) and I saw lots on youtube, videos about how to crush Albin's counter gambit, but it doesn't really work here, which I don't really know the reason why  (https://youtu.be/YZ95wuSjD8Y)

so yeah, please help me recounter my opening counter with my opening (Queen's Gambit)

Thanks for your time, Good luck with your next chess game.

D4 d5 c4 e5.

Here many people suggest to take on e5 and allow d5. But i play d4 d5 c4 e5 cxd5. You can analyse this line with engine, its not exactly queens gambit but takes opponent out of prep in most cases.

"Albin's Gambit is a big problem to me"
++ Albin's Gambit is incorrect. Accept the central pawn, defend, win. Here are examples:

Or simply play Sf3 as your second move.

Any video with a title "Crush the X opening" is 100% clickbait and is not to be trusted.

Anyway, I have checked a few of your games. One thing is that I haven't found any game with the Albin involved. Another thing is that your problems have nothing to do with the opening (as expected). Your main problem is blundering. In general, you play way too fast, making random moves without thinking at all.

A nice example is this game,

https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/46264820613?tab=analysis

where you are super-winning on move 18, then in the next 5 moves you throw away the win, then the draw as well, never spending more than 5 seconds on any move, with 8 full minutes still on your clock.

Your main goal should be to spend more time, try to calculate 1 move ahead and try to avoid beginner-level blunders.

i agree with magipi, i play chess always fast moving even though the time is 10 minutes and I'm completely winning against niumi at that time, so yeah ill try to reduce blunders and calculate more detail
