Why are you often kept under a specific rating?

I tried to come over 1500 for a long time and I always lost the last game, when my enemy played really strong. Why? (Pls disregard grammar mistakes, english is not my native language)

1. Youve only played 400 games. 2. Your over 1500

When you’re close to 1500, you become extra aware of it. This can make you more nervous, play too cautiously or overthink moves—leading to mistakes.

The most important thing is to stay objective. Don't create weird conspiracy theories just because you lost a certain game. That just make you look silly.
