Should I give up on chess (bc I'm about ready to)

I recommend GothamChess, he's a great teacher. Look up his name on Youtube and watch some beginner videos, like how to rank higher or something like this.

Look if you're not improving, maybe you should take a break or analyze your games. Analyzing your games is the best way to see how you lose in your games, check where you blundered and analyze how you should have played them. I also see you play blitz, may I suggest a slower time control to think your moves further? Blitz doesn't give you enough time to think, and gets stressed about the time ticking out, and also search in YouTube on how to improve in chess, I'm sure there are lots of videos that can help you.

The only valid reason to play chess is for fun. If it bocomes a chore on might as well work or doing something more enjoyable.

Don’t quit. I struggled with this too. I left and came back to it years later. It took me a while to realize the rating system is designed to match you so you are around 50% win rate which you are around 40% rapid at the time of this post. Think of it like a marathon or a sport like Baseball where your stats overtime outweigh an individual game. It takes time to learn and practice chess to get to a higher winning rate. It’s best to try not to get tilted and if you are stop for a day or two and go back and learn from your mistakes. Don’t pay attention to your friends ratings, it’s just a number. I’m not going to tell you how to improve because everyone is different but I treat it like a sport. Warmups, playing the game and reviewing is key for me. 

I’m sure you will make the best decision for you. Just know everyone gets frustrated. It’s like life though. You have your ups and downs. It’s what you do in these times that defines the outcome.

What
no, most people start at 100 elo on Chess.com then go up the ladder when they win some games.

Boohoo. Just quit. Have a good life outside of chess and woohoo.

What if I am not good at anything?

Then you are definitely good at everything.

I object on evidence 3. My art skills are nothing compared to what my friend can do.

Also, even though it worked out for you, it won't be the same with me, nor anybody else

The books in my house are for FKING PRESCHOOLERS

TV i don't have much control over cuz my grandma likes watching her religious show, and when she has the TV, you can't get it back from her

I was looking at some of the first games I played on the site the other day, dating back to almost 3 years, and one of my opponents in an early game, who was rated about 500, has since then played about 14,000 games and is rated over 2000. I didn't use chess.com for almost 2 years because one time I was playing a game at the library and my computer came unplugged in the middle of the game, so I just gave it up for a while because that also happened to be on my birthday and it just made me really mad. I got back into it about a year ago, but I haven't played that many games still because I don't really study and I don't like to lose either.

Yes.

@snackolazy - It sounds like you've tried hard to learn chess and have been frustrated by not making more progress. And your autism has made it difficult to learn concepts. As other commenters said, you can try to find other interests that you might enjoy more. But if you want to continue with chess, here might be a few things to consider. Since every person is different, I'm not sure if the following describes you. But individuals with autism often have "black or white" thinking, seeing things as totally good or totally bad, without a middle ground. This could lead to stronger emotional responses, especially to losses. (I'm an educator, and some of my students have autism.) So training yourself to think more flexibly can help, not just in chess, but in other areas of life. Rather than viewing yourself as either a "good" or "bad" chess player, you can appreciate what you've been doing well and also acknowledge areas that you need to improve on. For example, in your last game against kungg11, you did well with developing your knight, center pawn, and bishop in the opening. You can improve by being careful to avoid giving up your pieces. But you secured your king by castling and grasped the opportunity to checkmate your opponent. If it's hard for you to see the positives, it can help to have a knowledgeable and encouraging friend or coach look into your games. It's best not to compare yourself to others. But rather, you might look for how you've grown compared to how you did before. And keep learning one step at a time.

I appreciate the FKING ESSAY YOU HAVE PROVIDED, and it's hard to find stuff I like when I'm trapped under a rock with little to do. I've already cleared deltarune chapter 1 and 2 (waiting on 3 and 4 to release), cleared the secret boss in each, and did snowgrave for chapter (anybody who reads what I said about deltarune will think I am speaking wingdings or something.) and I can't deny that I have friends, but friends I can actually fall back on is a challenge due to not many people these days having the capacity for kindness. People like tailssquad (whom I have known IRL) and @I_just_need_love have capacity for kindness within them, but that isn't to say the people who have tried to answer my question aren't kind at all, quite the opposite. But then here comes a bigger question. How should I improve? I asked a similar question way back when, and all I got was "play some puzzles" which I do, and so far, nothing has proved to improve my skills, and someone even mentioned that I should play some bullet games. Let's just say I tried that today, and I was stressed out even more. So now I need to figure out how I can improve.

yes i love rl

My biggest advice to any beginner is to play 10 min or 15 + 10 min. Spend time on each move and blunder check each move after the opening. Does this move lose material? Is my opponent attacking a piece? Is one of my opponents' pieces loose? Are there any basic tactics? Stuff like that. Instant 700 elo

Send it again. Accidentally declined bc I saw this after I sent challenge

Having tutored students at university... there are, infact, a certain small number of students who cannot learn no matter how hard they try. Like they spend all day, every day in tutoring and still get flat Fs on everything they do. They still don't even know where to begin. I didn't appreciate how real of a problem this was until I actually taught students... We like to encourage them and try to convince them that they can learn, but no.... the reality is they cannot, and usually this encouragement only further frustrates them... the entire task they're trying to do frustrates them.

For these few students... my advice to them was usually, after months of tutoring, that they change majors. My impression is that this is your situation with chess. So yes, I would encourage you to quit the game and find something you enjoy that isn't difficult. Maybe try Candy Crush. Candy Crush is a good game too. There are many good single player games.. FF7 Rebirth is coming to PC in like 7 days.
