I disagree, HairoAndy. His downfall wasn't caused by telling other people his plans, but rather because he continually pushed people away and refused to allow anyone to help him. He wouldn't allow others to share in his burdens, he basically felt he was a bother or a danger to others, and he isolated himself emotionally from the very people that were there for him.

He didn't trust Hide with the truth, and so avoided his most precious person.

He wouldn't let Touka decide for herself what she wanted, leading to their eventual argument and fight.

Banjou, Hinami, Tsukiyama, Nishiki, Touka, Hide, Yoshimura, Koma, Irimi, and Amon all worried for him and wanted to help him. None of them were able to do so, because of how he continually chose to take on everything by himself. Just like his mother, he's never been able to let go of things and allow others to help him. He keeps taking on everything himself, thinking that only HE can do it and he can only do it alone.

Kaneki needs people, but he consistently throughout his life pushed people away and retreated from the world. Sasaki flourished because he was willing to let people in, and be supported by them. But now, he has abandoned that in favor of returning to his past ways that ended up causing so much pain and tragedy.

Bonds are such an important theme in the series, and Kaneki has always gone astray and been at his worst when he forgot to let people help him.
