So the room seems to be a thinny that is associated with the Red, that’s all good and dandy, but it seems to be hell-bend on making people kill themselves. Exploiting their personal traumas and psychologically torturing them into committing suicide.
So what happens if a strong-willed person who lacks any personal trauma, with well-developed coping skills to manage stress, enters the room? Does the Red give up at some point and let them go? Does it even try to do anything if it senses a lack of personal trauma to exploit? Or does is say ‘f*ck it here is a giant spider that eats you, can’t get them all’.

Everyone’s got something to exploit. and of course… it can do a lot to make you wish you were dead.
Trying to get you to commit suicide is just the room fucking around. A bunch of previous victims just ended up dying of a heart attack from the stress or supernatural influence of the room.
Since it’s established that it traps its occupants in a time loop so it can torture them endlessly, strong will won’t last for eternity.
Also, a well-adjusted person wouldn’t ignore the sea of red flags to even get to that room.
It’s unclear if the room itself can physically kill you; we saw its manifestations can touch you (his daughter, the corpse in the air vents)
But the hammer lady never reached him.
The room was screwing around with Mike specifically because he was a skeptic and a vain, egotistical person. The room wanted to humiliate him and break him, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t just give someone else a heart attack or trick them into falling out the window or a ghost stabbing them or something.
