I'm trusting, I had 20 ta's over to my house and vouched that nothing would get broken. Somehow, it all survived.

I think most strangers will be decent and respectful, but some of the time it's not out of caring for others. Those who are decent, polite, and respectful aren't decent, polite, and respectful at all some of the time, sometimes they don't want to get embarrassed by taking off their social mask and showing their face to people.
I guarantee you that if I see an old lady who needs help crossing the street who asks me for help, I will not WANT to do it, but I will do it because people are looking. I don't want to get an earful from them. I will then say in my mind, "oh i saw the 'radius of fear' you had around this old lady, you guys soooooo did not want to do this either"
The other day my jacket knocked a bra to the ground in the store. I picked it up not because of the goodness of my heart, but because I had to comply to the social graces.
I'm not a douche most of the time though, sometimes I do genuinely want to help but only if the stakes matter.
Are people inherently good? I don't know, but I am happy they can reason and rationalize, but the rational animal is sometimes a rationalizing animal. At least with me, I'm not going to rationalize my way out of helping an old lady, I put accountability on my shoulders and say that I am a douche.
