Maybe this triggered up feelings from the past, like when you felt others didn't pay enough attention to you or care enough? I know with myself this was a big trigger and it triggered up how my mom didn't know who I really was and didn't care enough about me because of her own mental health issues. I did work through this, though, by working through my old feelings about this and by being aware when I was triggered so that I could identify what was really going on with myself.
