I've been watching Soprano's for the first time and this reminds me of the storyline about Meadow's roommate in season 3 who moved to NY from the midwest and is not adjusting or coping to city life, especially when she melts down seeing the homeless woman when they're out drinking one night. I remember seeing the exact same thing play out with kids when I was in university, and I'll just propose this: People don't care because they cannot care, because if they did they would implode. There is too much out there, we're not in some primate village in the forest where you know every other monkey in the tribe. In a city with millions of sad stories, the only choice is to short circuit that part of the brain.
