It's nauseating that people think I feel "excessive self pity" because I'm trying to be honest about my past so I can correct things about myself...

Tbh you have no idea what other people are going through or how they have to cope.

The weak assumptions are more of an insult than they are supportive.

It just instills further that I should hide inside and not try to share when it would help.

I think it's time to go for awhile.
