Giving up My Seat

Yesterday morning I noticed that a high school student standing in the train grasped the walking stick made of metal. I gave up my seat for him since he might have some disability with his legs.
However, he apprently seemed upset and was unwilling to sit on my seat.
I felt embarrassed immediately after noticing that it might have been my misunderstanding.
Even though Japanese people claim themselves as kind people, I can't agree it. If someone who have disability or pregnant woman get on the train, you can hardly see anyone who give up his seat.
I want to be a person who always give up my seat even if I feel embarrassed.
