A cult forms around you. How do you react?

Tell them I am not God. If any still do not believe, I'd insist they check into a mental health facility.
I get anxious trying to keep track of a lie. I could not keep it up, I'd crack after maybe about a fifth of a second in and tell them all I'm a phoney. I wish I could say I'd have the cultists all trained as some kind of assassin-harem, but I'd feel guilty the moment someone so much as praised me.
These people are obviously delusional in some regard and though it might be incredibly dangerous to do so, I'd ask them why they were worshiping me in the first place. After that well, if they really insisted that I was a god, I'd give them directions to carve out a huge mountain temple inside one of the mountains near the city I live. Upon completion of that particularly monumental project, I'd instruct them to live out their lives there quietly, being friendly and monastic and generally leaving the non-delusional people alone.
If it was a nice place, I might actually even move there. But it's not likely.

Another cult based around me? Well fuck, I guess I'll write another book of doctrine and impart it uppon them, then start a few little... projects, with about 500 people, I could probably spread the "Word" all the faster, having to do little outside of writing another book, and let them grow my personal army, then, I take a couple of small countries, not overtly, more of a puppet state dealy, control them, turn them into productive, progressive states, slowly build up forces, infiltrate a few more countries, and within say... 30 years, own the fuckin' world...
Then, reach for space!

Get them doing something useful like fundraising for something I cared about. Dunno what yet though.
Maybe I could get them to stop the man with the penny whistle from playing, he makes my cringe go into overdrive.
Most likely I'd just use them to fix up my house.

That depends, how many cute guys are in the cult? KIDDINGKIDDINGKIDDING.
I'd probably do my best to try and disband it. I'm not exactly what you'd call a rolemodel/saint/second coming.
