If you'd be afraid to share it, then yes, it's better to put it in the open and drop the shield for good. If you sense no resistance when you think about sharing it, like it would be no big deal, then no, it isn't necessary to share it.
The question is: Are you choosing the path of fear and shame, or are you choosing the path of courage and connection? If you aren't consciously choosing the latter, you get the former by default.
