I also feel that my problems are my own to deal with. I will sometimes talk to my friends and accept the support they offer, but I would not jump into something like that without them offering to lend an ear first. It would feel quite presumptuous.
pretty much this.

Imagine yourself in reverse situation. You talk to somebody new, they seem off. You ask what is wrong and they go:
"just feeling bit depressed. Went through trauma in the past, had to flee my homeland for my life. But my family is still there and I am just trying to get my sister out and it's really stressing me off really badly, at the point of feeling ending it all"
or something similarly awful. Tales of dying close relatives, abuse, trauma... whatnot.

Now what could you do? Besides feeling hopeless? You'd probably say something cliche, that could be interpreted easily as not caring.
