Perhaps also a quality of not caring about anyone else very much. For everyone ( excuse me. Everyone I know. ) has friends, people who would be hurt ( some a lot, some much less. ) if (s)he killed (her)himself. Fear is perhaps not even such an important part. Not caring about people, not caring about ( or, more importantly, for ) yourself, or what the world has to offer would seem to be much more important in any such decision. Finally, it is just as reasonable to hope for a better life "next time around" as it is to think that nothing lies beyond death. To my knowledge, no evidence is around to support either claim. Unfortunately.
