Are you satisfied with your rating?

noon no no i just want 2600 in bullet and 2500 in blitz i am not showing offf
i feel like my rating is Inflated like I'm 1600 but i make dumb blunders 300 seems more accurate.
If I could get a hang of my terrible blunders ( such as a peice, or worse, forced checkmate) I could easily be 2100 in all time controls, so no.
( Before anyone says blunder check, I CANT FORCE MY SELF TO DO IT FOR SOME REASON, I DO IT FOR LIKE 3 MOVES THEN FORGET, ITS SO UNINTUITIVE TO CONSIDER EVERY SINGLE CHECK CAPTURE AND ATTACK,AND MOST OF THE TIME I JUST DISMISS THEM WITHOUT FURTHER CALCULATION, THEN THAT MOVE JUST WINS IT MAKES ME SO MAD THATS WHY MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK )
In some period of time I had the rating 2200+ (2300+ by some time). Recently my rating has fluctuated around 2200
so evidently I am not in my top form. Therefore, answering the title question, no.

> Hey my question is: Are you satisfied with your rating? How do you deal with anger, stress and emotions? Do you have them in chess? Are you calm or stressed? Have you found peace or are you unsatisfied? Can you strive for more and still be happy or does it make you angry that you do not achieve your rating goals?

I hope it helps someone, but I would appreciate people to share their opinions and their personal stories - have you experienced something yourself from what I have wrote there?

Only 7 points missing, you can do it! :)
I'm satisfied with my chess rating. I don't need to be successful in every game. I tend to remain grateful, even when the result is not what was expected. I'm optimist when solving puzzles. The secret to chess happiness is in the mutual understanding and commitments we create between our own chess friends. When I plan my game, I plan to yield at least a draw out of the game. When I lose, it's only the game plan that was at fault. The chess position is more pleasing than the clock. The clock is like growing old. To put life back into the clock I use increment time. It makes me feel young again.
