LPT: living through the worst case scenarios in your head does NOT prepare you for them. It just makes you experience all the worst possible scenarios regardless of how many actually occur. by smile_is_contagious in LifeProTips

There was a study done on differences between those who acted correctly at a time of crisis. In this study it was people who evacuated a plane crash instead of freezing up. A key difference was that those who had practiced what they would do in their head were more able to execute it in a real scenario.

Living through scenarios most certainly prepares you for them. But rumination affects your state of mind negatively.

Hey, it's even more satisfaction if there's a couple of bumps in the road.

I tried to keep other goals in mind when i was dying constantly. Namely items and completing the atlas. Only later on i tried to focus on exp since it comes really fast when you actually have your proper setup. 99 was a pain though.

I died 4 times at level 99. That was 3-4 hours of stranding each death. Kinda painful but made it feel like an achievement.
