Understanding that it is pretty much a 50/50 win/loss game, enjoy the wins and move on past the losses.

Or embrace the opportunity to study the losses.

Don't give a hoot what your rating is, you are what you are.

I used to kill a kitten every time I lost.

My best advice is to just ignore online ratings. I wouldn't be surprised if my   final online rating will be equal to an average chimp or a baboon's rating. Between 200 to perhaps 1000.

As long as I beat average humans IRL I will continue to enjoy chess.
