Why am I so dumb?

@Yalturkmani
You made your moves way too fast. With 3:34min on the clock, a rook and a knight up, why do you move in 3 seconds?
That's also the reason why you blundered a piece and later your passed pawn. With 3:39 on the clock three premoves in a row...
I have a tip: when you kingside castle (Or queenside sometimes), look out for opponent rooks and queens if you see a chance of backrank mate, immediatly move the h-file/b-file pawn (depends on the way to castle). If you are still anxious, take puzzles on backrank mates (as these will make you be on the lookout for those mates.)
