I had a funny game, my opponent completely crushed me never had a chance to make a plan
Ja, helps when your opponent uses an engine (check the rest of his games)
You missed the tactic 10...Nxe4 11 Nxe4 Qh4. This left you 1 pawn down. You spent only 3 seconds on 10...Re8 and you still had 9 of your 10 minutes available on your clock. Spend more time in the opening. You might not have found 10...Nxe4, but at least you could think a while to try and find an alternative for 10...Re8. 10...Nxe4 would have been the justification for your earlier 6...Nc6, 7...e5 and 8...Nd4.
11...c6 and 12...c5 make no sense. If you want the pawn at c5, you could have played 11...c5 right away. If he captures 12 dxc6 e.p. then it is the same as after 11...c6 12 dxc6. If he does not take, then you have reached c5 in 1 move instead of 2.
Your plan to push ...b5 with 13...a6, 14...Bd7, 15...Rb8 is easily stopped by 16 a4. So you spend 3 moves and he stops your plan with 1 move. Hence 13...Nd7 intending to occupy the central square with 14...Ne5 offered better prospects of saving the situation.
16...Re7 and 17...Qe8 offer nothing concrete as pawn f3 protects e4 and only put pawn d6 and then your Re7 into trouble.
Instead of resigning you could have played on with 18...Re5. You are then a pawn and an exchange down, but it is possible to play on.
At the end you have 5 of your 10 minutes left, i.e. you played as if it were a 5+0 game instead of 10+0.

The 3 acl seemed low but it's wierd that a 14xx guy could be using an engine so I didn't check his other games, but now that you mention it it's pretty obvious.
@tpr I really need to work on my time management but sometimes I lose on time too, I think I'm lazy too when it comes to calculation, I played Re8 because I didn't want to calculate, that's one of the problems that I have.
Nd4 felt like the correct move because I thought that with Ne7 my position would be too passive,so indeed I should have calculated before playing it
In fact Ne7 is the normal move but here you can make use of your lead in the development (Bf4-Be3 loses 1 tempo) with some tactics pointed out by tpr (and stockfish)
reported the opponent btw.

It is OK to lose on time once in a while. It is better to lose on time after having spent all of your time than to lose like in this game with half of your time available on your clock. It is better to lose on time in a won position than to lose on the board with time left on your clock. Do not be afraid to lose on time.
You play a very tactical opening, as you allow white a broad centre. You can play like that, but then you have to calculate precisely the consequences of your counterthrust 7...e5. If you do not want to calculate then it is safer to play 1...d5 or even 4...d5, not allowing white his broad centre.
Your opponent obviously used an engine, but this gives you the opportunity to learn more from your game. If he had not used an engine, he might not have been able to punish your mistakes, so you would not have been able to learn from your mistakes.

@SnackYourPawn Actually Ne7 is not that bad After looking at it more carefully, indeed white lost a tempo and it's more of a main line kings indian
