Well, you should consider what quantitative change is happening because of you not sharing whatever this is that's bothering you, and what qualitative leap will eventually happen if you don't share it ever. And you should just as well think about what could actually possibly tangibly come of you sharing this secret: people might see you differently, sure, but I've shat myself out afront plenty of people even on Hexbear, so showing your bad side to someone is just going to sort of happen no matter what... So I guess "people will see me differently" is just not a very tangible or meaningful effect on its own, and "change the interpersonal dynamic" is really too vague to be meaningful.
I cannot answer these questions for you — I don't think every secret is worth sharing with others — but I can if nothing else recommend journaling first, or alternatively creating a fictional character based on whatever it is about yourself that you find shameful.
Hmmm...
