Regret of selecting a bad username

When I created the lichess account - I was angry, upset, and blaming everyone else in my life for my failed life. I selected the worst username thinking that it would ideally feel others bad after they lose from me.

Years later I look at it and feel embarrassed. Chess was never like that. Earlier I used to get angry when somebody would put a smiley in chat when I made a blunder... strange times. I regret those moments.

I wish there was a feature to change my username now. But there is none. So I have to live with it rest of my life.

Btw I still suck at chess and life. I am still a failure but I just accepted it now. Maybe it's time I accept my bad username now. What do you people think?

In the Contact page in lichess.org, It says "We can't change more than the case. For technical reasons, it's downright impossible.
However, you can close your current account, and create a new one." So if you really dont want the username, you can close the account, and make a brand new one.

That's not a bad suggestion actually. But lots of incidents happened in this account as well. Bad memories but still they are memories. But maybe someday I will do that. You know I got banned in this account for behaving bad with people. But anyway. If I do that I will make a post here.

It would still be Punish or sth... -_-! Wish it could be a bit different.

Rubiks is on the spot here.
Nothing and noone forces you to have that username. You grow up and changed as a person, opening another account with another username will be perfectly fine. You don't need to punish yourself logging with a username you regret just because years ago you were in a bad spot, and don't regret those moments, it is not possible to change the past, let those moment go and give yorself peace and forgiveness, the only "real" moment is now

Dude do you mean this seriously or is it a joke when u are complaining about your username? Well u must have a very sad life when u beat urself up about a username... You are angry basically for no reason LOL. Just live a happy life and you can also create a new account... Hahahaha ur parents probably dont give you enough attention cuz they would be confused why u are angry about a thing which is username. Well hahahahahahaha just dont thing about stupid things and enjoy life. Dude dont be upset with urself enjoy chess on a nice site and enjoy life.

@PunIsH001 Like others, I also think you should start a new account, and also consult a life coach or something, being sad and feeling bad about ourselves can impact us in more ways that one. I have interacted with many people on lichess, some are rude while some are really kind and respectful. Hope you are happy and contended when you read this! :)

Well, before creating your account, you must think of a good name that can be usable for the time you play in lichess.
I thinked of my username, it cost 10 minutes. During that time I've also imagined what would it will be with a "GM" gold word.

Well, you can ask mods to change your username I guess
