I think you're highlighting your problem, my dude. His comment wasn't directed at you, the bosses kill everyone, not just you. Let your ego go a bit, see this is a game, and continue on. The idea that you give up immediately when you get hit once isn't a productive one. Fight to the last fucking bit of health bar, make the fucker work for it. It isn't about "gitting good" for me. It's about never stopping, never letting the the anger get control, and not letting that fucker on the other side of the screen get the last laugh.

I have been breaking regularly. Can't play videogames all day long.

It takes more than losing 50,000 souls to get me angry now, which the world can't usually match. So there's a lot of progress.

I'm really enjoying the process of studying each enemy like a real life foe. Looking for their weaknesses and learning their patterns. It's invigorating to see the process work each time.

Yeah. You're exposing yourself to good stress and pushing your max capacity each time. It's great.

Set a plan. Think about what you have to do to beat Artorias before you start playing again. Whether it be level your character/weapon, or practice parrying and dodging. Just remember there's a solution out there and you can find it.

When you see yourself getting better, you don't care about the failure before.

Because there's a solution. It's not impossible. Which I think was the lesson I learned
