People need you, but you can't bottle things up. One of the worst things you can do to yourself in a way- still take up that strong front, but you need to be able to just. Cry, yell, scream... whatever, sometimes, to keep it from building up.
[His head tipped a bit.] Can sometimes use that energy for something good- take a memory that hurts and make something good with it.
Can keep being there for those who need you, but don't forget you've got folks who are willing to be there when you need them. [Not wanting to be a burden, taking all of those feelings and hurt and bottling it up... Sure, he still did it, but that didn't mean he wasn't aware ho bad it had been for him when younger.
