Stats issues

My rating goes down even when i win. And my highest correspondence rating at 2300 plus now posted at 2100 plus only! Furthermore, my times spent playing do not change. I was a member here since nov 2016 and i'm planning to uninstall this app.
@Python27 Your game history doesn't show anything wrong with rating loss, they are happening after losses.
The only exception is on 30th June you gain rating by losing 3 correspondence games and drawing 1...
I'm finding it sort of bemusing that I have only won 14 blitz games while I have lost 19 (getting even to 50% let alone anything higher seems eternally beyond me) but my rating is 1800 and I am better than over 70% of blitz players on here? Strange to be losing more than I am winning and be above average in rating but I guess the system and the algorithm just doesn't work in this way, well I know it doesn't. Still weird though. You see it a lot in fact, players at 2000 after years and you look at the win ration and its about 50/50. Getting much above this seems to basically be for top players only. I certainly never get much above a 50% win ratio - if I do, well I just expect to come right back down now I don't even bother thinking otherwise anymore
@AzzyB2000 you are right, you can try to improve and raise your rating but the win ratio will go back to ~50%
