Hoping for your opponent to disconnect or lose on time also implies winning a random internet game of chess is so important to you you are willing to waste however many minutes of your life it takes to achieve this essentially worthless prize!
Why Resign?

We always resign at bad moments. Do you think this is good?
I resign to make my rate less, for playing online tournaments
If you're intentionally losing games to lower your rating to get into lower-rated tournaments, that's sandbagging and is considered a form of cheating. It means you're playing in a tournament for lower-rated players even though you're really stronger than that, and that's not fair to the other people in the tournament.
If you're just resigning the games where you're already in a losing position, though, that's OK.

Hoping for them to disconnect, yeah. Hoping for them to lose on time, it depends. If you're playing bullet or fast blitz and they're down to just a few seconds while you have more than that, it's entirely legitimate to play to try to win on time. But if they have plenty of time to easily finish you off, and the position on the board is totally lost with no chance of counterplay, there's no point in playing on.

I only resign if I not only know I'm going to lose but if the game has devolved into two weak players chasing each other's kings around in circles. you can see my score, I'm very low leveled and the reason why is because I'm not a very good player. When I'm slightly better than someone or they are slightly better than me we get to a point where neither of us have very many pieces left, we just chase each other in circles and nothing really happens, so I resign.

Yeah, that's true, I win (and lose) many games on time, but in those cases it rarely takes up much of my time to do so as I would only do it if a win on time is an achievable goal, which it only usually is in an otherwise lost position if there is very little time left anyway.

Resigning in hopeless positions shows good sportsmanship and respect for your opponent. If your opponent is a much stronger player than you are or of considerable strength, then resigning in a lost position is fine to do. If it is a blitz game, it doesn't matter if you are down a piece or equal. Never resign in blitz.
Is that why people disconnect or abort during the game, to lower thier rating? happens to me a lot, and inflates my rating.

10 minutes counts as Blitz. I'm certainly not going to play for up to 20 minutes if I lose a piece in 10 minute Blitz. 3 minute Blitz maybe or if it is down to the last minute of any time control.

I don't resign immediately on losing a piece unless there's no fight left in the position and there's plenty of time left. I've won enough games after having lost a piece (and lost enough games after having won a piece) to know that, if you can create enough counterplay to give your opponent a chance to blunder back, the fight's not over yet.

It depends for me. I want to play it out in case I'm going to lose through some especially fascinating mix. So in the event that they're going to take my ruler I'd rather have that be a move far from occurring before leaving. Same for checkmate.
In any case, on the off chance that I've logically lost material and there's not a single clear end to be found or in case I'm going to be mated as a result of a goof at that point leaving just feels like great behavior.

I noticed some people resign even when a pawn is down.That is not right i think.

I have never won a game by resigning. I have gotten stalemates and even won when a rook down, but then, at my level, we make a lot of blunders.

That's why i said why not play till the end. Am i proven right?

If you are frustrated your opponent won't resign, put them away . . . if you cannot do so in the time allotted, then perhaps you didn't have the overwhelming advantage you thought you had in the first place.

Yes, but the definition of a "lost" game varies at different levels.
Also, one other reason to play out a lost game is to learn how to win a particular endgame. You might be confident your opponent can beat you, but not sure how you would finish off an opponent if the pieces were reversed. That's a legitimate reason to not resign - to learn from how they beat you. Of course, once you reach the point where there's nothing left to learn and you could easily beat Stockfish with their pieces, you might as well resign.
But the time does not matter during rapid matches.
