Think maybe it is because you lack the idea what you "can" and "should" do. Most people think they actually cannot do things social norms dictate they don't do. Like they are physically unable. For people not as bound by social norms, stepping up to help isn't that hard, even if it's not to get a warm, fuzzy feeling like "I helped out, I'm so good". Still, you cannot argue with results.
