I'm being kind of discreet, and it hasn't come up with talking to most people, but I'm not really keeping it a secret. When it comes up somehow and someone reacts negatively, I figure they're not ready and try to avoid bringing it up around them for a while.

The main problem that I have when speaking about self development, and more often subjective reality, is that most people of my age group (19) don't understand what I'm talking about or even care. More often than not I can relate far better with people twice my age, generally because they're far more knowledgable and I can have a two-way conversation with them. Unlike many I know who would rather just change the subject to something far more mundane or nod and listen without giving their own opinions. Anyone else get that feeling? or at least, used to?

I'm 21, I'm interested in PD, but I'd probably do the nod-and-listen thing too.

I've noticed this, although it's not accurate for me unless you replace video games with novels. Video games do require growth, at least for me. Novels don't, so I'm not sure why books get indiscriminantly worshiped while anything electronic is condemned.
