i am afraid to lose to weaker players and my aggressivity at chess is very high against higher rated players.

Whenever I'm playing someone in live chess who's much higher rated than me, it effects my game psychologically because I feel as if I'm going to lose before the first move is made. I realise that this is something I must get over eventually if I'm ever going to improve, however, for live chess which for me is just a bit of fun and practice, I'd love if there was an option in settings to mask my opponents rating so I don't see it. This way I can just play my best game without any fears.
I'm not sure if this has been suggested before and or rejected, or whether it's just me who has this "rating fear" problem, nonetheless I felt like suggesting this because to me it matters a lot.
Note: I have taken into consideration that I can set parameters on the opponents I can face, however this is not the problem, I want to play higher rated opponents but just not have the fear factor that comes with it.
Thanks for reading,
