Rating gap between blitz and classical, suspicious?

Hello!

Whats your thoughts about big rating gap between blitz and classical online? Right now I'm 1968 in classical and 1584 in blitz. I generally just fool around in my blitz games and i can't handle time pressure. Now i started to realise that some people may think of me as an engine user in my classical games. How can i avoid this? Should i spend some time playing blitz to at a least 1700? Would you avoid playing an opponent like me?
Just do what you want. If you are guilty of nothing you should not worry about false accusations you may receive.
True! but i do care if people think i cheat. I better play som blitz!
Don't worry about having a wide spread in your ratings for different variants. Some people see cheaters everywhere; I wouldn't worry about it.
I hope you guys represent the general lichess user :)
Yeah, I also have a huge range of different variants. My wifi is really bad and so with shorter time controls it is harder for me to reconnect, so that's why.
I would be surprised if people ever suspected you of engine use if you're hovering consistently in the 1900s. An engine would destroy anyone in its path.
play 3+7 blitz ;) , the time control is long enough, unlike 3+2
Don't worry about it. I play CC with all the deep thought I can give it. Get loopy drunk on occasion and play real-time games just for fun.
I remember seeing special message (done by lichess) when engine usage was detected by certain player. This is the one and only reason for me to accuse someone in cheating.
