Play more an study. Analyze your games after you play, learn basic end games, basic tactics blah blah. There’s too manny resources available.

You play too much blitz. You don't think much when you play fast. When you don't think much whilst playing, it becomes a habit to make poorly planned moves. In addition, you need to spend time not just to think about the moves but the themes and ideas associated with them. At the very least play some 10 minute games, and a lot of 15 minute 10 second increment games. I, of course, should follow my own advice more often.

Edit: I just realised that you do play some correspondence. I don't know how much time you spend on each move though. Either way, take into account the idea of playing carefully to avoid hanging pieces and etc.

I just read the last two posts and just realized other people are having the same problem as I am. I've been addicted to blitz for years, and my rating over the board somehow managed to decrease

There are a number of beginner apps from chessking called things like : capturing pieces : simple defence : elementary tactics. Very, very basic, but if you do a lot of them you will hang a lot less pieces, miss less opportunities to take your opponents pieces, miss less forks etc. I did loads of them even though they are very simple in the hopes of curing my chess blindness. Good luck, improving at chess is fun, enjoy the journey.

Funny thing is, I've been playing bullet forever, and my classical rating steadily increases. I don't know how though.
