I'm sorry but I'm used to deal with my shit alone since I was a kid. I was raised practically alone, I defended myself from abuse without any help and I take pride on it. Mostly because I was told that showing sadness and pain was either weakness (they will use it against you and if they did it was your fault for trusting them) or an annoyance.
For me the idea that anyone would respect me more for showing where it hurts is alien to me. Why would anyone like that???
