Why did Kylo Ren admit to being a monster?
In Star Wars: The Last Jedi there is one scene between Rey & Kylo Ren when they are force-linked, where Rey calls Ren a "murderous snake" and a "monster".
Although Kylo begins to point out what he perceives as Rey's ignorance of past events, he does not deny what she stated and replies, "I am a monster."
Now perhaps this was just a disarming tactic, but are there any other reasons with some sufficiant evidence to prove what Kylo Ren's motivations were here in not fighting Rey on her characterization of him?

Very simply put, because he didn't want to fight with Rey. He was reaching out for contact, not for a "yes it is"/"no it isn't" argument.
I read Kylo's statement as an acknowledgement of perspective, i.e. "Yes, I know you see me as a monster". He's not agreeing with Rey objectively, he's just acknowledging her point of view.
Whether that is done genuinely or simply to disarm her is left up to interpretation of the viewer.
Keep in mind that Kylo and in the past Anakin have been well aware of the impact of what they are doing, they simply think their actions are a necessary evil.
