con someone tell me how I would be able to improve on this game to avoid the situation?

@PenguinFM Someone contacted me and told me this, I don't hate it, and I know that I'm impulsive.

My thought process was:
1. can I get anywhere to fork this and the next piece I need to take out?
2. Will my opponent be able to take this?
1. g4 is litterally the worst move white can make on turn 1...
Yes, there are some ideas behind the move, but that doesn't change that every other move is better.

Just play normal moves, in the opening you want to control the central squares and devellop your minor pieces. g4 doesn't help much for either goal. So play 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.Nf3 or any of these moves.
Dear friends, 1 g4 is meant to control the centre: Bg2 controlling d5 and e4 and holding back ...Nf6 by threatening to kick it with g5, thus further fighting for squares d5 and e4.
As I told before, it was good enough for IM Michael Basman to win an open tournament with grandmasters.
Of course at top level e4 and d4 are the best choices, but as everyone is somehow prepared for that, 1 g4 bypasses all this preparation and leaves room for own analysis.
There are a lot of other odd first moves that are quite playable: 1 Nh3, 1 Na3, 1 Nc3, even 1 h4 was played with success by an Hungarian player.
Justice, when you are playing (considering) the move you should know what that move does. Will that move improve your position, is it logical? Also, you should be able to know what are the drawbacks of that move. Be careful with pawns too, as you move them you are weakening certain squares in your position.
tpr I understand g4 is unusual move, but with a reason, it simply isn't that good for the reason you are weaking squares in your postion. Internatiol Master will play g4, because he knows the drawbacks of that move, and strategy. But for a beggining player that move simply isn't good, because he won't know how to take advantage of his opponent's move on the opening.
@tpr Just because someone won a tournament with it doesn't make the move good.
And g4 IS the worst starting move, just ask any engine. Yes, it has some ideas, like literally any move that you can play. Nc3 actually is a fine move, even Nh3 or Na3 devellop pieces. h4 lets the h pawn march up the board which often can be a good plan in the midgame.

Sure, you can avoid preperation, but Nf3 is quite fine at that too, and it additionally is a good move. Plus, at 1200 level noone is preparing. (in fact up to 2200 FIDE or so you shouldn't really worry about your opponents preparing for you)
g4 is a bad move because the main square for the king
is g1, It is where usually goes after Castling, hence by playing
g4 u are commiting urself to unusal kind of play which its not
good unless u know what u are doing, however in Justice case
I spent three hours with him in the analysis,
he just needs to play more games, like two hundred or more
at least, because otherwise its gonna be unlikely he understands
the lines or the thought process, however he is patient
and has a good disposition towards the game.
If black can defend 1...g6 against everything, then white can surely play 1 g3. If white can play 1 g3, then white surely can play 1 g4, which is more active and exerts more influence on the centre squares e4 and d5 than 1 g3 as it counteracts 1...Nf6. Nimzovich: "Eyeing the flanks but meaning the centre is the deepest meaning of positional play." Interesting enough Michael Basman did not advance the pawn to g5, but protected it with h3.

Objectively the moves 1 e4, 1 d4, 1 Nf3 may be stronger, but as a beginner you do not want to get into a Ruy Lopez Marshall attack, a Sveshnikov Sicilian Defence, a Grünfeld Indian or King's Indian. It is depressing to think hard on your move in a complicated position, while your opponent just plays his move from his memory without any thinking at all. If you are then tired and short of time, you commit some mistake and the game is over. Better is to play something unusual early on, so that both have to play chess instead of theory. A beginner should learn the game, not opening theory.

I often recommend beginning players to play reverse systems: if they defend 1...Nf6 to 1 d4, then 1 Nf3 as white. If they defend 1...c5 against 1 e4, then 1 c4 as white. If they defend 1...f5 against 1 d4, then 1 f4 as white. This doubles the experience to the typical positions of that particular opening.

A very good opening is also 1 b3. Robert Fischer played that 4 times against grandmasters in 1970 and won all 4 games.

I myself have played odd moves against masters and grandmasters and done reasonably well with that. For example I have played 1 c4 g5 and also 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 b5. I did that to avoid theoretical discussions as I was certainly not up to the theoretical knowledge of professional players.
I don't think the opening is the problem..Well, I know it's not. I don't have opening repertoire and that doesn't stop me from playing good chess.When I started 2 years ago, watching videos helped me (ChessNetwork,John Bartholomew..),soon after I started playing chess, not just watching. I didn't even know openings even exist, so it was really fun to discover it.How did I improve? I improved by reading books (good ones and which are easy to read) and playing a lot..Don't make a mistake by only reading and not playing, because you won't improve.You need to play!! Now I started "analyzing" my games. I go over a game, find mistakes (If I can recognize them,if not I use engines help) and then try to make a better move in a position where I made a mistake. The first time I was doing it (it was maybe a month ago) I still remember that position in my head which is quite nice. Imagine analyzing all of your games! You want to improve ? Well, dive in the world of chess man ! :)
@tpr "A beginner should learn the game, not opening theory."
Very true, but it exactly disagrees with 1.g4 .
Even though in some deeper sense it might fight for the center and do all that stuff, at least to a beginner it looks like you should move your flank pawns for no reason and not devellop pieces.

If you play 1.Nf3 you don't need to know any theory either. Just play normal moves and white is fine.

" If white can play 1 g3, then white surely can play 1 g4, which is more active"
So how comes then that g3 is objectively better than g4? Simple, g4 creates a weakness. With g3 you can just go Nf3 Bg2 0-0 with a very healthy position, with g4 you can't so easily.

It sure is a good idea to tell a beginner to not concentrate on openings but instead on the game. But g4 for that is just stupid if you don't already know enough about chess to possibly understand the nuances of why one would play it.

So @Justice_Roberts , just play "normal" moves, i.e. moves that fight for the central squares and devellop pieces. Then you automatically will get to move like Nf3 (devellops a piece, fights for d4, e5), e4 (fights for central squares, frees the bishop and the queen), d4 (same) etc.
You don't need to know much theory in those openings because if you play unusual moves you opponent won't know the theory anymore either.
