Flex or hide?

I've been using reddit for almost a year now and I started engaging with it from past two months. It's fun. But I didn't find a single friend that uses reddit or knows too much about it. I knew about reddit for almost 5-6 years and I downloaded it coz i was listening to a podcast of rohan jhoshi (mojorojo) and he was talking about how crazy it is. Getting to the flex or hide part. None of my friends use reddit..or know about the app....and I was surprised because, first majority of them are from kothrud and Katraj side...and I see them as very involved in all the Pop culture genre. So I don't disclose the fact that I use reddit. They frown on it and are like why do ppl use it and how velle they are... I once tried to clear this false reality but couldn't hit the nail in their heads.... I want to know from all the users, do you guys flex like insta and X (twitter) users or keep it hidden?
