That would be unfortunate. But it is the way groups of people can be.

I don't know if you're male or female. If you're male, this could be a gender-related experience. Guys are simply perceived to be able to handle their own stuff where girls tend to be viewed as being more potentially vulnerable. (One can argue whether or not that's appropriate. But I do believe it is the case.)

Beyond that, I suppose the difference in the group's responses could be due to the time difference. The girl's post was 4 hours before yours. Maybe the "mindsets" of the individual group members were just different by the time you posted your message. I know when I've been here on PC for a long stretch I'm probably less enthusiastic than I would be had I just come on recently. And likewise, I'm more likely to simply let something go just because I'm tired.
That is really great advice! I wish that I had thought about that myself!
