You were just being yourself. That is a good thing. I dont think others care any less, its just that they have been trained not to show it as much. Just like a zebra in a herd who just witnessed another zebra caught by a lion. The overriding emotion is that they're glad its not them.
You showed that you did not want to conform to that group enforced way of dealing with the situation.

What do you think would happen to this world if there were no people like you?

Its such a sad thing how much unseen pain is out there. Perhaps now, those that have contributed to this persons pain without perhaps thinking what they might be doing will feel regret.
But the sad thing is, that for everyone it is now too late. Because no one saw, and no one cared and they have lost the chance to make it right forever. Its not so strange you feel like crying over this.
