People are generally not what we would want them to be. All you can do is to make yourself proud of being you, and you should be. There is no rule that 'everything is gonna be ok', it won't. Also, I doubt that any one of us will reach a point where things are steadily fine. It's all about the ups and downs. Ride the highs, survive the lows. Be yourself. I'm positive that man would've been glad to know that you cared about him. Shall we go to the pub?
I've gotten to the point in my life when I realize I care way too much for people. More then most people do. I would bend over backwards to even an enemy if they were hurt. Most times I feel taken advantage of. People just kinda turn a cold shoulder now.... it's rather sad. I feel embarrassed for people sometimes.
You did something. You ran over there when I'm sure he had lost all hope of anyone even acknowledging him.
Don't feel sad, or try not to. Sometimes it's difficult to control. You have to understand that the people who ignored him were probably affected too but in a different way. They may have been shocked into innaction or conditioned to behave thus. These things are very dark indeed. They stick with you and can take a long time to get over. When I was at uni I was standing next to a women who was about to cross the road. She walked, we didn't. She got hit by a car, thrown down the road, shattering the windscreen. We didn't. It was horrible. especially the small details you notice. Her shopping had fallen all over the road- poatoes, cheese, a tomato. I remember thinking such banal thoughts waiting for the emergency services to arrive. Wondering what meal it was she was going to cook. The meal I thought she'd never get to eat.
These things shape you as a person, make you more dimensional and rich. They are tough but where they nip away at you, you grow back stronger.
