Chess ruined my life.

I don't know what to say. I started playing chess as fun hobby but then it got addicted to it. So much that losing a game really agitated me. I played again and again I started to lose my mind.

But that wasn't it. I got so addicted that nothing else gave me that joy. I started to ignore texts and calls from my girlfriend when I was playing. And then a few days ago, I hadn't talked to her for a while, but then she texted, I was busy playing. Then she called, I ignored the call. And she called again and again. I was loosing and angry, disappointed at myself. I shouted at her. And we haven't talked since then.

I don't know what worth does chess give us, but it has taken a lot from my life. Really.

Do you think 2k per month is a good price for online coaching by a 2k + chess.com player ?

I'm rated 2071 peak in rapid on chess.com and 1550 FIDE ( It's only my initial rapid rating and I don't really play rated FIDE right now ). I'm willing to charge only 2k per month with weekly coaching calls from total beginners till 1400 mark. I don't have much experience with coaching however. If anyone is inteested , my chess.com is Inqalaab_Zindabaad and my new discord is vivachess007. The coaching will be on discord but right now I don't even have a mic or webcam ( first desktop pc and school student :( ) but I will be setting up everything very soon and set up "Visible" for payment. If you guys have any tips or advices it would be appreciated !

I'm thinking of buying the chesscom family plan, but don't have people

What should I do guys? I want to buy the family plan because it costs way less than the diamond plan. Cannot ask guys on the sub to directly join me, like why would they trust me (a random guy from reddit). Don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Ps: we are 5 people for now, room for only 1 more, if interested, dm.
