Unless you want unnecessary conflict and to be left alone... which I'm assuming you do. Maybe revealing yourself to another is like a simple process of elimination. If the person you confess to is a fellow traveller, then you will have made a real friend for the first time in your life. If not, they'll try to walk away. If you let them go, then it will be better for them in the long run, I think.
For me though, I have a tendency to see people as pawns in a game I play to amuse myself. I try to learn all of the different ways that emotion can be activated, and learn key phrases that control each person. Therefore, by the time someone has gotten close enough to me to find out about me, I have enough knowledge of their workings that I can easily manipulate them. I make them stay around, not because I care deeply about them, but because of the amount of work it would take to replace them.
