Sometimes traumas can come swiftly, usually backed by emotional instability that the person had before the incident. Sure, it can't be a "wake up one day" happening but I believe that a night of certain irregularities could have very traumatizing effects.

I think we're the monsters.

Our society isn't that uncooperative. There have been cases in which an uninvolved person calls for help and thus saves the day. Of course, cases in which a witness doesn't help the victim have also happened. Nevertheless, to say that our society is inherently bad sounds like a one-sided generalisation.
