How much does wind actually mess with your chips and pitches?

Played yesterday in what felt like 20+ mph and my short game completely fell apart. Chipped into the wind and the ball just... stopped. Like it hit a wall. Then downwind I barely touched it and it ran out 12 feet past the hole. Same swing, same club, totally different result.

Is that normal or am I just bad? I'm pretty new to actually caring about my short game and I never really thought about wind on chips before. Do you guys club up into the wind? Change ball position? Open the face? Or just accept the ball's gonna do whatever it wants?

Honestly the putts were worse. Downwind lags were flying past. No clue what to do about that one either.
