I am a few years older than you, but I can certainly relate to what you are saying. It's not really about keeping it secret, it just seems like most people I know don't care. They would rather sit in a sofa all day watching movies, collecting money from 8-16 jobs, or even worse, from the government. They don't care and when I talk to them about what I am passionate about, they seem to be totally unable to comprehend (or maybe just don't care).
I do however know a couple of people (creative people in the semi-pro movie and computer industry), that seem to share some of my thoughts on the emphasizes of self-development and creativity, but it pretty much stops there...
