Do other people also have no one to care about them?

Yes, outside of family, people
can care for one another. That type of bond is based on establishing trust, kindness, respect, and understanding. This all takes time to develop.
But they don't have to care, specifically colleagues. Their priorities while at work are to fulfill their roles, complete their assignments, and help create a team-oriented atmosphere where they can be considered dependable. They may express care for the sake of keeping the flow of operations running smoothly. And that is okay.
I would think part of what makes someone a friend is that they do care about you. Otherwise, they wouldn't be much of a friend.
