That's the case from the chapter I mentioned in Cialdini's book,
Harold. "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion"


Interestingly, look where the biggest loser, with the most vial of
comments
directed towards me, lives-----It's as if living in heavily populated
areas
tends to desensitize people---as long as it's not their problem, it isn't
happening. Very strange, for eventually your number comes up. Who do
you turn to? Why would you expect anyone to care when you didn't?

Another of the socialogical quirks we all need to be aware of that
Cialdini mentions is that if you're hurt or need help, don't make a
general plea like "HELP!", do NOT ask "everyone" for help. Look one
person in the eye and ask them or command them to do something you
need done right now. Asking everyone results in everyone waiting for
someone else to move, and nobody does.

Knowing that can save your life.

As for your detractors, their karma is coming. If they live in NYC,
part of it has already arrived. g
