It sucks that I have to be punctual for a very important meeting this morning. So if I cannot go back on time, I am going to be in a deep trouble. Aiya... It hurts so much. Aiya… It hurts so much. Why is everyone just watching but not coming over to help me? Ei. Er. Wei. Lady, are you alright? Do you need me to take you to a hospital? Hai? Why? Why doesn't anybody care when I fell? In contrast, why does she deserve everyone's attention? She is only slightly prettier than me, a bit more dress up than me and a little bit slimmer than me. Isn't that the reason why people have treated me as invisible? Lady, may I help you? Do you know why this happened? This phenomenon can actually be explained by a psychological theory. When an accident happens in a crowded street, a lot of people would initially offer help for someone in need and it seems to be the most common behaviors as we might think. But the reality is that, as everyone think in this way, no one would take action to help May. This phenomenon is called Diffusion of Responsibility. Then I would like to ask you, In what reasons there are a few men who help the other lady out of their eagerness? Is there anything you want to talk? If no, I have to leave. Sigh, this is me. I blame it on myself for not being expressive. No wonder others consider me as a boring person. But I am actually not a boring type. I also dream of a boyfriend like any other girls do. I just don’t know how. Maybe he can help... Hi, I am your love expert, Santoro.
