Does bullet makes you a better player? In my personal opinion it depends strongly on your playing strength.
If you are a amateur chess player (like me) but are a fast thinker (unlike me), then it would be a bad habbit to compensate one thing for another.
You would still outplay many opponents because you move and calculate faster by nature, but this makes you NOT a better(!) player.
You will still lose to opponents at your rating range at "slow" time controls, because there they have their needed time to think, which takes away your only advantage.
Try first to learn real chess and play slow (at least 10+0).
The speed will come automatically, since I improved a bit in blitz even I did not played it for weeks.
PS: I still make the mistake to start a classical game and then nevertheless move fast like blitz anyway. That is not effective!
I tried bullet (1+0) once and it was the worst experience with chess I ever had.
Not because at my rating level it was complete pointless and my opponents blunder everything and I blunder more than ever.
It's because you can clearly see the motivation and the spirit of some bullet players (not all of course!), if you play anonymous with a guest account.
They really get exited if you make a blunder and they are spamming the chat with crying smileys and thumbs down.
Simply unsportsmanlike trash talk with smileys :D
But that's not the point, because I have no problem with that, and you could simply turn the chat off.
The point is, it makes me really sad for the person behind that. I pity them very much!
In my opinion that must be a frustrated chess player with no effort and will to improve further through real learning.
So they have to beat up slower players in short time controls to push their ego and humiliate the "weak" oponent (which blunders only because of low time) to feel better.
This has nothing to do with chess, and nothing with good sportsmanship at all.
With an attitude like this, you will not only fail to improve in chess, you will also fail in life in the long run.
Instead try to feel the mental enjoyment in a long game. You can play a correspondence game (alongside your other games) for example, where you and your opponent fight equally and you don't have to watch constantly over the board (if waiting is really a "problem" for you, when you actually should do your calculations for the possible variations during that time). Especially in this long game, take your very time for every move, like you would do in a tactic puzzle.
Like this, you will improve the most.
