For me personally I don't like being pitied. It gets annoying if I haven't processed the situation I'm pitied for myself. For example when someone in my family died years ago I hated the condolences and the pity of people.
In addition nobody wants to seem weak and vulnerable. Pity is the proof that others can see your weakness or helplessness. Pity doesn't change your situation it's more or less useless.
It's a different situation if the person pitying me is a really close friend because in addition to the pity comes support. P
