I just know what I would do in a permadeath universe. First, cower somewhere, then learn crafting and thidly never go out alone out of fear of being murdered by a giggling teenager who thinks killing is fun and then lock my door at night at all times.

That is an option but the protagonists in most fiction are type A personalities.  Why would this be any different? 

Personally, I would go crazy knowing my life, my choices were being made for me and without me. I would feel the urge to be involved.  The very idea someone could yank my life support or that everyone would fail because I wasn't strong enough to be out there helping would make do it.
