how do i play properly in bullet?.... when i think properly , I fall in time pressure and when i premove, theres a chance that my opponent plays something else and boom... so what do i do?
Make sure you have a really good mouse.
you just have to remember that your opponent is in the same position.
Sometimes, premoving is very risky. Other times premoving is fine.
Practice will help having a cool head while under pressure.

You have to find the right balance of speed and thinking/good moves.
Some recommendations:
Do not calculate, unless you must. Play mostly by intuition
Above 20 seconds, generally you may want to spend about 1-2 seconds on each move, but it depends on how complex the position is.
Do not premove unless it's completely safe(for example a recapture that you will make if they take your piece) until you're below 10 seconds. Then you must move very quickly and if your opponent is also low on time, you may be able to make them run out of time
When below 5 seconds, you must premove every move and try to play some checkand other unexpected moves to burn their time
When you lose, learn from your opponent's play
Play openings that you know well and can play quickly
Practice!

Premoving is a skill fairly difficult to master. But it can be mastered. See the twitch streams of GMs. You can learn a lot.
If you want to see some high level bullet/hyperbullet, I recommend Andrew Tang(aka penguingm1)'s stream
You may not learn a lot from such fast games, but it's very entertaining to watch

You gotta play fast. Just consider that ending your clock means the same as being checkmated in ELO rating. It counts as a loss.
If you think it's too hard to play bullet, you can try 3 minutes matches first, then go for 2 + 1

Play fast and move wisely. Premoving is a very risky action😅😅
