Is it okay to verbally express my infantile emotions if I'm alone in my apartment?
Yes.

Its perfectly normal. It's even better if you get a trusted ear you can express your emotions to, and then get constructive advice back, if that's your thing.

If I let myself whine, cry and wallow in self pity here, won't that make me more likely to act similarly in front of people?

Nigga, do you even have any other way you can let out your emotions? If not, proceed to whining and crying, then build up to trying to mentally work through your problems to solutions for them.
Again, an ear to listen to you, or maybe a journal to write your whiny thoughts in, could be helpful. Don't knock that journal thing, it doesn't need to be deep or profound
