This is a good problem to have. Much better to be good at actual chess rather than being a bullet degenerate and unable to play chess as it was meant to be played. I'd suggest trying out an OTB tourney.
Why do I suck at blitz and bullet so much more than Rapid?

Ah yes. I suffered this earlier this year I think. My bullet and blitz were 300+ points higher than my rapid. But, then all you have to do is to just FOCUS on that time control and look. Now, I am 2065 bullet, 1856 blitz and 1818 rapid. The gap has closed.
The Rapid pool is grossly overrated, usually inflated by 400 or more points, your blitz and bullet rating are closer to your real strength.
Because they don't play rapid as often, strong players of 2000+ in blitz usually don't play rapid, check out the titled players profiles , they only play blitz and bullet online, i recently played some rapid games and won the majority of my games. Once you get to 2000 you get paired with a lot of cheaters, strong players and titled players don't mess with that crap.

Daily 1150, lightning and bullet 400. Guess our brains has decent capacity but works too slowly.

You call blitz lightning? Guess you don't like the German version. Blitz is lightning in German.

Rapid ratings are inflated 500 points typically

blitzkrieg or smth wasnt that like when the german like bombed a bunch britain during ww2
There are lots of compound words in German. "krieg" means war.
pig war = schweinkrieg
world war = weltkrieg
It's a very efficient language where you can stack several words into one.

Hello, I'm 1800 Rapid (for now, and no I don't mean im going to improve, I'm probably gonna tilt!), but only 1200 Blitz and 1300 bullet. There's a 500-600 rating point difference... and somehow I'm still getting absolutely clapped by some of these players. Maybe playing 2+1 and 5+5 will help cuz its closer to rapid? Plz help me I don't wanna be 1200 blitz forever
you get stressed out?
Its cheats
@HangingPiecesChomper is an even massiver joke.
Btw, rapid is the only one that matters.

The rapid pool on this site is the only decent pool.
The bullet pool is the massive joke.
