Deaths in POE

I have 618 hours in Steam.(580 of them are last 30-35 days,keeping you informed,i dont know why)

But i have a question: is it ok to die in POE. I mean....typically my first death occurs in maps(T3-T5) and when i die,i just lean back in my chair,sit there for a while, then i just put all my gear in stash and start a new character.It makes me sad...1 death from unexpected shit.
I do not want to play in POE using someone's guide,all hours i played....i was interested,inventing shitty,but entertaining builds...
I literally have no words,can someone reply

Sorry for bad english by the way.

I do not know who is this guy but. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr--rj_HxQg I think i have found something that i needed.But i want to thank every one of those who wrote anything here,even if it was trolling or some angry things like(IM HARDCORE PLAYER AND YOU ARE NOT)
My first post that has something in it,i mean other people.

Nothing wrong with dying in general, at least not until very high lvls when the 10% xp penalty really starts to hurt. And dying to random/unexpected nonsense sometimes is a core part of the game at this point. Certainly not worth getting too frustrated over and just starting a new char because you died.

Unless you play hardcore. Best solution there if you just want to play casual is don't play hardcore.

I didt know how to reply to you properly,becouse i have only one post and no one told me something there,so ill use quote option...Thank you
After playing for long time you get used to getting oneshot by random shit. I;ve never had as many "wtf did even kill me?" moments as in this league.
My current build has probably died over 400 times (I play really, really stupid and don't like skipping bosses) after awhile you *kinda* get used to it. Have some of the deaths been unfair? Oh yeah, one-shots a-plenty but I'm still having fun though.
Arguing on the Internet: What's the point when you can't punch them in the face when they really piss you off?
You can stack as much defensives as you want, do what ever you want, but there always white simple mob without any mods that will simply 1shot you :)

if you're playing softcore it doesn't matter unless you lose all your portals or are trying to push to lvl 100 but if you wanna reach lvl 90 and die once or twice per map then it's fine i've been dying a lot to delirium bullshit on death effects and other bullshit that on death effects from non delirium mobs and it's annoying but yeah you just deal with it that's the beauty of softcore
Don't ask us, dude.

Players play PoE in 2398457 different ways. Some do everything they can not do die, while others view their remaining portals as "lives". Some delete their characters after death - even in Softcore, while others use deaths as a tool.

Personally, these days, I don't mind dying as much as I did before. I play softcore for a reason; I don't have time to start over from scratch every time I die. That said, I always investigate my deaths to try and learn from them. Most times, the conclusion is "I was a bit ambitious trying to run this map" or "My flask weren't up".

I don't think I've ever been oneshot in this game, without being able to trace to some very hard mods on the map, me being too slow or some kind of weakness in my build. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself and too forgiving about the game, but my stance is always that the game SHOULD be able to kill you, even if you have (close to) perfect gear.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
