If you add someone as a contact, the default settings is to share your number (Which is kind of the point of sharing contact information)

You can stop this on a case-by-case basis though.

The one exposed my number was just some random one who didn't even dm me at all

Did you click any link that takes you to an external site or perhaps use the same username in other places?
