always timing out in blitz

A few hours ago, I realized that in the past 90 days. almost 90% of the games I lost were due to timeouts. I played a few games, and after winning the same person twice (I won one of them because my opponent misclicked), I timeout the third one. This makes me think: "Oh, I should think faster next time. That's what I did, and I sold the next 5 games, one of them even due to a checkmate that is so simple that anyone would see it. I'm a pretty good rapid player (1352), but I cannot do time in blitz games as well. What should I do?But before any suggestions, there are two weaknesses that my computer has:

1. Laggy and crashes easily. (Sometimes)
2. I can only use a touchpad to play moves.

How should I improve my blitz, or should I not even bother, as improving in blitz may cause me to think faster in rapid chess, making me make more careless moves?

If you want to improve skill, I can't help you, but if you want to win more blitz while keeping your rapid skill, you can always try forcing moves to waste time and beneficially improve your position(sometimes).

ok, thanks for the suggestion! so you mean... play more aggressively?

In a nutshell, yes.

i see

Skill descends from the slower to the faster time control.
Carlsen is that good at blitz, because he spent so much time playing and analysing classical.

maybe you are better at slow time controls?

what is that supposed to mean? like... the skill in blitz comes from lots of playing slower time controls?

yes, I think so.

The best way to improve your blitz, is to improve your chess. The best way to improve your chess is to play classical chess and to analyze (without an engine) the resulting game. Therefore, if you want to improve your blitz, you should be playing classical chess, and engaging other forms of training, e.g. studying grandmaster games. Now, it is possible to improve by playing blitz, but it is less efficient than playing classical chess, and it may not work for everybody.

I usually play 10|0 rapid. Is that fine?

10|0 and 30|0 are good for improving your chess. 1hr+ is just grandmaster level.

so you're saying that if I play even more 10|0 rapid, I should naturally get better?

Don't listen to @amari2oi4, they, to put it bluntly, don't know what they're talking about. 10|0 is still a very short time control. Ideally, you should be playing OTB classical (by that, I mean games that can last for hours), but if you can't, online 30|0 is decent. The problem with playing fast time controls, like 10|0, is that they don't give you time think deeply, thus leading to a superficial understanding of chess.

Imo, 10|0 is enough time for me. Then again, I am helping someone who seems to be on a lower level so 10|0 is actually kind of quick.

On top of that, the title is "Always timing out in blitz."

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you're still a beginner, and perhaps, for you 10|0 is plenty of time, because you have nothing to think about, but 10|0 does not give anywhere near enough time for anything more than a superficial glance at the position. Again, I'm not trying to insult you or anything; I'm simply saying it as it is.

Yes, but the best way to improve your blitz is to play classical chess, as I already explained in a previous comment.

Alright, man.

"a beginner"

beginner in rapid is like 0~800 and intermediate in rapid is 900~1300 so I think I'm upper intermediate in rapid. But in blitz, I'm like lower intermediate and I don't play on my skill level. Usually, I don't have time to play 30|0 either, but I can try to play more slow time controls.
