People love to be malicious in a group: they compete who is crueler when spreading the scoop. They didn't know anything about her, just assumed she was nuts from what the others inferred. They loved being the in-group who did the judging when they had her over a barrel and struggling. Abandonment from the pack brings shame in wolves who die of starvation: a similar situation. The self ceases to exist psychotically, feeling unlovable, unworthy and defective. Self-compassion incinerates the nastiness dumped by relatives, healing the shame internalized with abandonment.
