What percentage of people do you think would peace out right when the apocalypse begins?

Discussion

I've seen this sentiment a lot on social media and so many people say that they would just take themselves out because they know they wouldn't survive. I honestly don't know what I'd do in that situation but I know that I have no survival skills tbh and I'd have a really rough time surviving. Especially as a woman. I'd be vulnerable to so much.

But this is me thinking while I'm not in the situation. I think a lot of people underestimate their survival instinct. Lots of people say that without accounting for their friends, families or partners. In reality, I think a lot of people would at least TRY, even if its just in the very beginning, before they give up. Most people would also not rationally calculate the risk they would really be in and would be confident in their ability to survive. I think the real threat would be other people and probably dying of disease.
