Both

They are very different circumstances

@JustAChessPlayer177

I would recommend that you don't give up chess (as long as you are enjoying the game). I have no idea what your circumstances are. I have no idea how old you are. I am almost 50 and I have not given up. I enjoy the game too much to give up at this point. I don't expect to become one of the "greats." In fact, I might not even make Expert (in the U.S. Chess Federation), at the rate I am improving. However, we all have a place in the ladder of chess. I won't give up, in part, because others can learn from me (as morbid as that might sound). Besides, if all of the amateurs quit (not saying this would really happen), what would the future of chess be?

Keep at it if you want. Some people become FIDE masters even in their 20s, though I would say it is not very common. I didn't have the chance to play competitive chess until I was in my early 30s. I have no reason to complain. It is what it is...

If chess no longer gives you enjoyment, then you should give it up. But you should ask if the reasons for your dissatisfaction cannot be fixed.

my chess teacher says that cuz he says i dont love seeing blunders often and get embarassed and frustrated, he told me to not get angry at losses but forget it immediately

I don't recommend forgetting a lost game. But instead, I recommend to appreciate it. Losing, especially online doesn't mean or tell anything about the quality of your playing. I often play better when I'm in lost positions. It's natural and normal to blunder, except if you're playing the World Championship. But we're millions of people to not be GMs. So, for us, blundering is just a natural thing. A thing that can happen, that have causis, but you can't totally get rid of that and if losing. So, appreciate each defeat. And congratulate the opponent. Maybe you'll be friends, and s/he will tells you about her/his point of view of the game.

but now for me, it aint that easy, i feel like my entire progress was a lie
one blunder and i feel like i am not good enough
what should i do??
Not good enough, mistakes are hard to learn, my 1182elo is weak

1182 is almost 1200, it's not weak. I know 1200 players that are really amazing on the chessboard. A progress is not a lie, and blundering in a chess game is a bit like sneezing. Natural. Just keep the things positive, losing a game doesn't mean you played bad, it mean the opponent played better at XYZ moment. Here, better doesn't mean good or bad, it just mean that someone else won a game. And when you win a game, you're probably happy, so why not being happy when someone else win, also ?

Anyway, I wish you a lot of success !!!

I don't think you should think about psychology in chess now, because it's a very complex thing.

At this stage, and especially if you have a coach, having a playing or working philosophy is more important than exploring the psychological aspect of the game. It will come after by itself and by experience with otb games.

Best of Luck!

try learning to punish your opponents blunders, playing against real opponents. this helps you get a lot better and should help you blunder less
