Why do I play chess on the board like a shoe and how can I stop?

I haven't been to tournaments lately due to Covid-19 but recently I have been playing chess with my mom on my prized chess board. I have noticed that I make many blunders, miss many tactics etc. I'm 90% sure though that these mistakes would never happen online. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can prevent it?

cause online is pretty much a lie, many should focus more on OTB as thats what helps you improve since its more challenging and hard

I do play whenever I can with my siblings and mom but its once in a while...

it's because you're so used to the online board that when you look at a real one you start malfunctioning very badly

I'm sure shoe should find the answer, your mind will heel and you'll soon sock it to 'em.

You are just not use to OTB play.  Set up a board in front of your chess.com computer and make moves on that to get use to OTB play.(Just give yourself enough time to do that, like 30minutes) 

It's allowed as long as you don't use it as an analysis board.

You're not used to a 3D board.

Online gives you a better view of the board and the pieces than otb in my opinion.
