That's exactly what people about to commit suicide do.

  That's interesting. In any old place? I wasn't anywhere near the tracks; I was in a big underground space on my way out. I wasn't suicidal, but I was definitely unhappy that year. I don't know to what extent that showed. It may have been later in life that I developed my habitual friendliness with strangers. I do remember deciding shortly after that to learn to fear other peoples' potential fears. It's a pain in the ass, but optimal, I think.
