Just enjoy playing.
I appreciate your reading my post and responding, but I just can't enjoy playing when I am putting in the amount of effort. I feel like this is something that people who are good at chess say to those who are not.
good job
I always get confused while Playing after learning...i don't know why😭

I think this is normal. You know some things already. Now your new knowledge isn't integrated into your thinking. It kind of gets in the way. You need some time to process it.
it looks like you have been playing some rapids recently but i assume you playing tons of blitz and less rapid has had something to do with it?
I have been playing since 2018 and I just can’t gain any increase in ELO. I watch at least one video a day, have two chess books I am working through, do 15-20 minutes of puzzles on Lichess a day, try to analyze my games. But, I get further and further from my goals. I actually am starting to feel like when I loose, the other player must think I am stupid. I don't think the puzzles and books I am reading and doing generalize to games. I have tried every time constraint and the results are the same.
And, I get frustrated when I see people who have been playing a lot shorter time than me are actually improving. People always say that we all get better at our own pace, but I’m not getting better. I feel like I’m not smart enough for chess. Honestly, I don’t know what else to do. I am now at the point where I actually get angry that I am not doing better.
I cant get my elo above 500, so I just play for fun. If I keep playing, it will slowly rise

It takes time for everybody. If everybody were geniuses, then why would we be studying chess? Some people are meant to be good at other areas like sports, while others may be good at stuff like chess or studying. Everybody is special and unique in their own ways. Cheer up bro.
