Hello Taka,

"I'm above" here means "I'm in a much better condition than you think, so I don't need your sympathy."

PS. The others on this forum might give you a better interpretation of the sentence.

Best wishes,

Joseph

"I am above" in this context is not standard English, and I can only guess that it is supposed to mean "I am above that", that the speaker feels that he is in a superior state in which receiving sympathy is of no importance.
