They can't have tried all that hard if they were still around for the survey.

Let's just be glad they didn't try harder. Besides, I know several people who did try pretty hard, but fortunately other people tried harder to save them.

I wonder if it stems from feeling isolated and misunderstood

I suspect that's a part of it, but I think a lot of it is simply that people who spend a lot of their time thinking are more likely to look at the world and wonder things like "Why am I here?" and "What's the point of it all?" -- in my experience that sort of musing rarely makes people happy.

One of the head-doctors I saw told me that I thought too much, and I should just get some exercise, take up rowing or something. I told him I was afflicted with chronic postmodernism. I think at that point he gave up on me, too.
