I feel like it makes no sense, I'm so much better over the table than online, and I feel like online is what matters for me

Hmm. I see you are rated at 502 in rapid.

Are you playing rated games in real life or are you just playing with friends?

Because chess.com throws bots at you even in regular play, you will never improve

In my opinion it’s because there are loads of cheaters on here. My score has been adjusted by chess.com over 60 times due to cheaters Everytime I get my score to about 1000 I have a huge losing streak it’s extremely frustrating

You may play OTB games with more concentration. If you play online - it’s several clicks and another game starts. Feelings are different.
