How can I be more satisfied and successful with my chess games?

At the moment I seem to be having a run of bad luck and can't really play well.

One example:
Yesterday I played against the Grand Prix Attack with the black pieces and only had to defend, although I had actually even prepared for it.
My opponent had played almost all his moves after a few minutes (had only used 15 minutes). I, on the other hand, had only 20 minutes left on the clock on move 22. I had thought about the 21st move for a long time and then overlooked a strong attacking move of my opponent at the end.

Most of the time I simply overlook moves or run out of time, which annoys me. If you have any ideas or inspiration, I would be happy to hear them.

it means your calculation and visualization lacks some practice. Solving high rated puzzle (2600+) as well as solving king and pawn endings can help ou to improve your calculation depth. I would consider looking at taking a game from your favourite GM and try to guess moves (preferably after the opening phase). Also, the usual saying "play classical games instead of blitz/bullet" is also pretty significant. Try to use rapid as your new blitz and play classical on a weekly (daily is better of course) basis.

I am just a simple chess player and you are probably seeking advice from players of your own category, preferably.
But still, some of my experience might interest you, and if not, maybe others.

Why do you get into time trouble so often? When I played otb, I ran into a lot of time trouble. Most often, I was not willing to play moves as bad as I would have had to, had I wanted to keep up with my opponents on the clock. I surely wanted to spare the world my chess-blind me. So, basically, I opted for playing above my own niveau- until my debts were due, in time trouble.

In your example, you were prepared for the Grand-Prix-Attack, but your opponent had out-prepared you. So if this happens again, next time just admit you are out-prepared and let them show you if they must, but keep more level on the clock. The night is young.

I started playing here, because my chess blindness and my time trouble inclination had also manifested in very poor blitz results otb. I only played bullet and blitz here: in order to get rid of timing out and blundering in time trouble. After hundreds of games I finally got into the better direction of playing 'worse' from the beginning. Instead of timing out, I blunder everywhere.
I did not score better, I did not learn a lot, but I feel much better.
After that being done, I've seen and learned enough, can put blitz on hiatus and return to studying in chess books and playing longer games again. Willing to play as badly as time demands in long games, at last. Who knows, even my chess-blindness may become more tangible if allowed throughout the game, less ousted and suppressed.

What do you think? Thanks.
"Most of the time I simply overlook moves or run out of time"

That's probably true of most everybody's losses.

Was it on Lichess ? I can't find the game.

This could be a new training topic for you. When your opponent plays fast you need to learn to not be intimidated, either in OTB chess or online chess. Keep your own pace and look for possible mistakes by your opponent to profit from.
And also decide on a maximum thinking time per move (depending on the time control. I think that Magnus Carlsen once said that he never thinks for more than 20 minutes on a move, though the last WC game was an exception). It is good to use all your time for the whole game if that results in good results or ... give you a good feeling that you did your best and played a good game, even though you lost because of one blunder. Playing really fast and blunder (which more than a few of my opponents do in blitz) is not very good. Using a lot of time and then blunder is a challenge to work on. Also, the stronger chess player you evolve into, the more likely your intuition becomes stronger which can mean that the first move you see is the best move for you. After that you can calculate, but keep in mind that using too much time and wanting to calculate everything can lead to indecisiveness and can lead to mistakes.

I found one classical game of you from 4 days ago where you had an advantage, but then you seemed too focused on your own attacking options, overlooking a counter attack by your opponent.
If time trouble turns out to be a recurring problem, then it can make sense to improve your blitz skills and tactical skills as well, to help you to speed up in time trouble.

Apart from that for slow time control games, make sure to not get distracted by noise and so on.
Consider taking up correspondence chess as a training tool as well. Where you have loads of time, and are allowed to use opening and endgame books.
