Maybe. I would like to think those 'with a duty of care' are discerning types who can see the torment behind our socialised demeanour. Perhaps a few are; the majority are not.

I remember a scene from the first of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. Ford Prefect is ordering drinks with Arthur at the pub just before the Vogons arrive to demolish the earth for a hyperspace bypass. Adams/the narrator comments on the ability of sentient life forms to 'broadcast' their distress, the force of the broadcast being directly proportional to their current distance from their home planets. Ford Prefect, hailing from somewhere near Betelgeuse, powerfully conveys his anxiety to the barman.

I so wish I had that ability. Our surface calmness or rationality would not lead the professionals astray.
