Do you fear the people you work with? Are they out to get you and stab you in the back? You can operate with confidence in full disclosure or you can lie about how you are doing (like a coward) at your peril.
I am a 20 year developer. I started a new job this year. 90% of my work is new technology that I have never touched before. I am completely honest about that. I work with humility that despite my experience I am a beginner at work less than the junior developers I work with. I am fully transparent about that do not try to bluff on expertise. This sets proper expectations with the team and ensures I do not fall victim to Dunning-Kruger. I am an expert in certain areas but am extremely reserved and careful about that.

Fear might be the wrong word, but I have worked in a company before which had both stack ranking and 360 reviews. In my experience, that incentivizes people to backstab each other, and make minor mistakes of other people sound big. SOMEBODY will be thrown under the bus, and everyone is incentivized to make sure they are not the one. That experience has certainly made me distrustful of people.
