Look at the bots to get an idea what chess.com thinks is a beginner. Under 1000 means you don’t really have the opening principles down and you don’t know much in the way of opening theory. To be 1000-1500 you play with a knowledge of those principles, know many openings, but don’t calculate well and still blunder quite a bit. If you are over 1500 you know a lot of theory, don’t hang pieces, and can put together multiple move combinations. So you are advanced, but not elite. Above 2000 puts you in the 99th percentile, so you’re really good.
If you had a USCF rating of 1874, in the vast majority of chess clubs in America (OTB chess), you'd be one of the strongest players in the club, if not the strongest player.

My rating remains well below 1000 no matter how many games I play sometimes I play better but generally speaking I can't beat the better players once it gets complicated. Sucks to suck.. but I still managed to have fun in the course of the interaction of the game with my opponents.. and writing about the results.
Learn an opening for white and for black!
In your last rapid game you move too many pawns before you develop all your pieces.
Only move the pawns that you need to move before getting all your pieces in their best position!

Would people say that 1578 is a good FIDE bullet rating for somebody who has just started? I am that person, and I just took it through the official FIDE rating calculator.
You are getting better so just play a bit more games to get higher at rapid!

Is 1032 a good rating for a ten year old who has been playing for half of a year
You must learn one opening with white and one with black against e4.
You can do a lot better if you do that!

Yes
In order to improve, focus on tactics and endings.
DO NOT get caught into the delusion of focusing on an opening repertoire. Rather, play through the games of Morphy and try to imitate them.

The Caro-Kann will not cure that. Tactics will.
Opening principles absorbed from studying Morphy and tactics tactics tactics will carry a beginning player farther faster than trying to learn a complex positional opening that their opponents will never play.
The advice to develop an opening repertoire before you stop dropping pieces every game is BAD ADVICE.

Learning end game like you advice and middle game tactics for someone who lost 2 out of 3 of his last opening in 6 and 7 moves is silly!

This guy played here 794 games.
It's about time he learn well at least two opening one for white and one for black and all the opening principles! if he want to get to 1300 this year!

I've been teaching children for twenty years. Some of my students have become state champions.
Those games were lost through elementary tactics.
The openings you recommend will STUNT the player's long-term growth, likely for decades.
Basic opening principles will help. But, developing an opening repertoire at that level (really any level below 1800) is a waste of time.

First i was impress by your opening( you had white) and your firsts moves were very good but than you moved a rook but it was a blunder because you didn't protect the pawn that was attacked by 2 pieces already....
A consequence of following bad advice.
Of course, players at all levels will have games like that from time to time. The faster you play, the more often it happens.
A beginner rating is realistically <800 but for actual chess players, most people say <1200 is beginner territory.
1200-1400 is sometimes labelled as “Advanced Beginner”.
1400-2000: Intermediate/Club Player. Sometimes people call 1800-2000 “Advanced”.
2000-2200: Expert.
2200+: Master level.

When I was a total beginner I was 1000-1200 on a site where 1500 is the average

Are you saying that you know better opening for a guy with already 794 games of experience here then GM Hikaru 2736 and IM Levy Rozman?
