You can't expect that too early in a friendship. It takes months, more often years for people to know each other well enough to freely talk about personal stuff. Most people are just friends with those they find 'fun', not necessarily because they have some supportive relationship with each other. Superficial? Maybe.
There is limited time and energy for others, and most of us already have family that rely on us for emotional support etc.
Sometimes you just have to suck it in, hold your tounge and focus on talking about something else as much as you may not feel like it. I've had to learn to accept it. People aren't going to be what you want them to be.
I only have two real friends. My mother died of cancer recently, and I rarely spoke to them about it, because when I did they just didn't know what to say.
