afraid of playing

Hi guys, I'm Max from Italy. Almost a noob, I do tons of puzzles but I'm afraid of playing with others.
I play sometimes against the computer (sometimes winning) but with a real opponent I'm afraid to be considered too weak.
Any tip or advice?

Thank you!

It’s ok to have some concern, but we’ve all been new players once!
Play a few games, after 12 or so the algorithm will find your level so you get equally experienced opponents.
It’s just a game; enjoy it.

Any tip or advice?

Tap on 10+5 in main menu.
Tap on any piece
Tap on any green circle
(According to your results, the decision of the puzzle, I see that you use the same algorithm.)

if you are too afraid then start to play unrated and when you feel more confident you can play rated

Nobody will consider you too weak, they'll just enjoy beating you. Once you have a rating, you'll find weaker noobs. Chess was invented as a game for two people.

There ıs no thıng called:"Noob" at chess, only a begınner

"... Most internet players think that 30 5 [(30 minutes with a five second increment added every move)] is slow, but that is unlikely slow enough to play 'real' chess. ... Many internet players are reluctant to play slower than 30 5 so you might have to settle for that as a 'slow' game." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

That was back in 2002. These days, you might have to settle for 15+10.
"... Review each of your games, identifying opening (and other) mistakes with the goal of not repeatedly making the same mistake. ... It is especially critical not to continually fall into opening traps – or even lines that result in difficult positions ... Read many annotated game collections ... By looking at entire games, the aspiring player learns about openings, middlegames, and endgames all at one fell swoop. Playing through annotated games spurs improvement as the reader learns how good players consistently handle common positions and problems. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2007)

Don't worry, if you get a lobby game, that's most likely playing a computer too.

I do tons of puzzles

Stop poking at the puzzle. Start thinking about the puzzle. You solved 100 correctly and 100 incorrectly. This is not correctly! Every problem must be solved correctly! To do this, select difficulty -600. Learn to force your brain to look for a solution with your eyes. Take your finger off the screen.
