Quote:
"'What's the matter with you?' I turned her my full face, with the bulging purple and green eye. 'I tried to kill myself.' The woman stared at me. Then, hastily, she snatched up a movie magazine from her bed table and pretended to be reading."

People don't like to talk to suicidal people because they may try to harm you. I would feel a little different if someone told me they tried to kill themselves, because you don't know if they crazy or nice, but just had some problems. Though it is very rude to just stop a conversation and start reading something. they do that becuase they think they are higher up on the social ladder than suicidal people.
