Do people actually notice or care when someone breaks down in public?

I had a breakdown due to personal issues and I really couldn't handle the pain and mental burden. I had to take the train back home, and at the station I started crying uncontrollably, unable to stop or control it. I was surprised that no one even came up to ask, "Are you okay?" People really don't care how you are; no one is going to pay attention to what you do or how you feel. It can be a good reminder to "do what you want, live your life. No one cares what you do, how you look, or your insecurities."

I think most people are concerned when they see people in tears, but it is considered rude to violate their privacy and ask them why they are crying. It’s different if they know you and are confident you feel comfortable talking to them.

Some people care, but most don't want to get involved.
