In my opinion Tom Riddle was a bit sour about growing up as an orphan and he was afraid that he was powerless.
I also believe that Tom Riddle had become the monster that he had because he wanted to be different, special. He liked that idea. (Remeber how he was not so much as pleased when he learned that the Hogsmeade's bartender was also named Tom). I think that he felt like an equal as a child and wanted to feel, to be superior.
I think that a murderer either thinks that they are gaining something whether it be a feeling of self fulfillment or power/ control OR that the world is out to get them and that they are like the only "sane" people in the world which is what I think had crossed Tom's mind. He didn't want to be alone in the world. He wanted to be the popular jock that all the girl's fell for and all the guys wanted to be. He wanted to be supported, well-liked.
