How secretive are you about being a brony/pegasister and why?

To be honest both of us are really quite excited about meeting each other on the train on Friday!

Hell, I would be too! It's great to find people that like the same thing as you and that goes double.. no, triple for us bronies!!

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I don't tell anybody, but I still walk around wearing My Little Pony t-shirts... even with friends and co-workers. And if they ask about it I tell them everything.

[Crystal Peppermint 1,108]

I take this secret with me in my grave.

 

But seriously, only the people i meet at meetups know, that i'm a fan.

[Denim&Venöm 18,111]

My parents know. My relatives have an idea. My bro is a brony. Our mutual friends know. A few people at work know, though it's only like 3 people. I don't think the older crowd would get it. I typically don't wear brony merch to work, not out of embarrassment, but because I'm too tired/busy to want to talk about it. Otherwise I'll be more than happy to wear it all in public.

I can't really do the poll because it doesn't have anything that applies to me. I don't really care who knows. If people ask, I'll tell them, or I might mention it if it fits into the conversation, but I don't just randomly say, "By the way, I'm a Brony," for absolutely no reason. That's just random. It's not a secret, but I don't shout it to the world.

I don't really tell people I am interested in the show, because I don't really see the reason why I need to.

There are lots of things I am interested in that I don't tell people that I am into as well.

Hope y'all have a great time!! I live in a bronyless community... so no pony friends for me.. but that's ok. Y'all have fun now, ya hear??!!

I've got no pony friends too. Looks fun to discus mlp with others.

[Monsoon 1,662]

I haven't told a soul because If people found out I would be teased for years and I'd rather avoid that

That feels like me, I live in a city where the only thing that holds it together is the college basketball team, and when it fails it seems that the whole city wants to commit suicide. I would like to meet just a few others around here so I dont have to travel hours away,

I wish I could be like that, I would feel like I am being judged for that around here. When I see someone else with any type of pony stuff , I would like to say hello and introduce myself, but that is just not me. So alone I sit here with my cats.

If there's no need to, then there's no reason why telling someone that I'm a Brony. There's a lot that people don't know about me and telling that I'm a Brony isn't my first priority when meeting or talking to others, especially for the first time. If the conversation does eventually lead to discussing TV shows/characters or something similar, then sure I would feel free to tell. 

I'm not going to openly share or proclaim that "I'm a brony" or "I watch My Little Pony" to just anyone if the subject in that nature was never brought up in the first place. Also, it would depend on how much I can trust that person too. 

[Ginger Ale 723]

Not so much secretive, there is nothing to be ashamed off. Some of my close friends now and my father knows too. They are okay with it. Why wouldn't they be? If you thşnk they will judge you, let them judge. People talk no matter what.

[Paleopony 695]

Only my close family know about it.

[Splashee 28,558]

It was fun to keep it a secret, when it was a big thing. Now it isn't so much anymore, so I can just spill it to anyone and they don't even know what it is, lolz (I feel so brave)

[ExplosionMare 18,058]

It doesn’t matter to me if people see that I like ponies but if they ask what my favorite show is, I don’t say MLP first cause I don’t want that to be the first thing I’m known for (don’t want to get asked lots of silly questions)

[Cash In 22,060]

I don't parade around telling everyone that I'm a fan, but if someone asks, I won't deny it.

[Cheerilee 26,571]

Nobody in my real life knows that I am one, I'd likely be persecuted for it.

[Luna the Great of all the Russias 2,942]

I do not deny but I do not do much to display my fondness for the show either. That is more the case in recent years as my actual interest in the show has waned notably compared to, say, when I first started watching the show.
