The truth is, except for parents, most people don't care. If you tell people negative stuff about yourself the best you'll get is "awwww don't say that about yourself"
I'm reminded by the parable of the good samaritan where one of the passer's by saw the man who was robbed/beaten and said something like "Be comforted" before walking on.
People give lip service but don't stick around to help. e.g. Nobody gives two looks at the homeless do they.
