Someone give me some pointers on what I can do to improve my game please. I've never won a game on a checkmate only time.

stop playing that blitz and bullits and start playing real chess if you want to get better

Maybe sharing one of your games with your thoughts on it would give better results...

You haven't played much and therefore, it is too early to worry of being bad in my opinion

 

Learn few tactics (maybe read a book and train here in the tactics trainer), play some daily games, where u can think more and have patience

i seriously can't believe chess.com hasn't got rid of you. chess.com needs to get some glasses because obvious cheaters like you should be removed.

When I started, I played only with my schoolmates and all games were too simple and repetitive. Then I started to read chess books and play on board grandmasters games. I learned that they played in many aspects differently. I learned new openings and tactical plan. But I still think there is one quality which needs some natural talent - it is positional sense. Now, when I am quite experienced, I don't think too  much rapid or blitz game, because I know, how different positions can be handled. I don't have to read long variations, but usually I found a right move by intuition. But if you lack this kind of quality - you can play better, of course, but never be good chess player.
