    Humorously, I talked a person off a bridge while scouting for a bridge to jump off of. It was a bad bridge choice and wouldn’t be a guarantee. I like to assume they chose not to find another.

      I how you’re doing better, but also this sounds like the start to a fun romantic comedy or bro movie. Two strangers doing research on the best bridge to jump off of becoming unlikely friends.

        You may appreciate this then. I told them it was a terrible bridge to use, citing the distance it would take to reach terminal velocity, and the surface of the ground below. It was high, sure, but the ground below was at an angle, and soft dirt. It wasn’t possible to get to the “good spot” because of how the walkway was. The chances of failure were a lot higher than I was willing to risk.

        So I think I actually bored them out of it with all my planning 😅

      I’m glad you didn’t choose to find another, either. I hope that things in your life are going better for you now, and thank you for helping the other person.
