So you expected others to be concerned & care when you were the one taking care if the problem?
I stop to help stranded motorists or people who need help but if there is already help there I don't bother getting involved. Doesn't mean I am not concerned or that I don't care but my stopping won't make any difference to the help they are already getting. Even when I am the first one at an accident. I do what I need to do & make sure the authorities have arrived. Too many times at accidents people just stop to see what happened, not to help & just get in the way & many don't stop because they know there is nothing they can actually do to help.
Sometimes our own emotional expectations can be our own worst enemy.
Only one person can climb a ladder & use a pair of scissors....the rest would just be standing around watching.
