many sadly have family that would never understand and are likely to make a major scene/fuss/etc over it rather than let matters alone.
myself included.
personally I think it comes from society as a whole constantly from the moment of birth instilling a phobia of anything that does not meet one or another of a small few very strict standards of what is classified as "Normal", and also instilling a reflex level reaction to ridicule it.
sorry for going off on a tangent, back on topic, I have no intention of going full time, and will only "Conceal" mine around family that would never even attempt to understand, perhaps also at any jobs that have a similar problem, I have no intention to "put them on display" as it were either.
