It's pretty simple really. God wouldn't just reveal himself to one individual. He'd do what he allegedly did as Jesus and actually live on Earth. Not just performing miracles though. Actually providing information that's far beyond our wildest dreams. I'd also expect him to disavow the old testament and much of the new because the information in it just doesn't add up. Nobody would doubt what they really saw, because either everyone saw it, or they're crazy and just think everyone sees it. Perhaps a world wide instant cure for all major diseases and world hunger with a wave of his hand, and then he explains just how we can travel among the stars, and answer most of the major questions science has.
That wouldn't be god, that'd be uplift.

The "of course" part is simple rationalization. Sanity cannot survive an encounter with god. It is written, it is expected.
you seem very sane to me
Probably 'cause you're a sweetheart - and have never met me.
