Yes, but again, it is online. Offical OTB is a much different beast. When you have a clock ticking and your time is running out because yous used 17 minutes on move 18 and 8 minutes on move 21 you play completely differently.
And that is usually in my (albeit limited) experience.
WHne you first play with a clock you play very quickly because you are afraid of running out of time. Then you play too slowly because you are trying to break the habit.
And your playing 50 online games is not really helping. You;re not really playing slow time control chess. You're playing blitz on a grander scale.

At your age I'd never played a game of chess. And maybe 2 games over the following decade.
