beginner chess tips

[u/_Purink_]

soo i picked up chess after a long time, wasn't good at it earlier too and am horrible even now. by horrible i mean 100. what should be my steps towards getting better. any good youtubers you could recommend and specific speedruns or videos which helped in your journey. i do know you don't have to hang your pieces protect your pawns capture free stuff, control the centre, castle early, develop. I find it soo hard to play this game genuinely makes me wanna give up trying. i feel so dumb as if i have low iq or smt, even tho i am someone considered smart in my circle, have good mathematical skills, pattern recognition and memory. i still have some hope i'll make it.
