> Some people seemingly handle these situations well (Julian Assange?)
Julian Assange knew that he'd be pursued to the point of death, both legally and illegally (assassination) by various governments around the world. He knew exactly what he was getting into when he started Wikileaks.
And so he did so fully aware of the potential consequences, which so far haven't actually been as bad as one would have expected. (By now, one would have expected him to have been "finished off" by one of the many governments he's pissed off.)
