I can't speak to any particular person, but if people are more concerned about you being in school than your well-being, they may not really have your best interests at heart.

That's not to say that dropping out is a decision you should take lightly. There's much to consider, including what financial options dropping out may cut you off from (and what would be available if you return), what kind of state you'll be in if you leave school (are you still going to have social contact, are you still going to be able to make yourself productive without that structure, are you going to be able to reasonably return if that's something you want to do, etc.), and what you'll do as you sort things out for yourself to keep yourself moving forward in some form.

Likewise, that's not to say that anyone who expresses concern or encourages you to stay in school doesn't actually care about you. There may well people with legitimate concerns trying to look out for you.

But don't let the fear of people's potential "disappointment" keep you from taking care of yourself. That, alone, is not a good enough reason to keep pushing yourself while you aren't in a good place.
