Why do you feel the need to tell people you are a Buddhist? Life is full of lessons to be learned. Running away from it? Is that the answer? There was once a monk who spent his time alone as a hermit. Sit in Meditation. Attain peace of mind. But as soon as he went to the city, all the noise came back. He could not meditate. He could not hold his own. So what good was his accomplishments? The lectures and harassment comes from you. Change your behavior and other will change their. You are the one pulling the pin on the grenade. Anyway, I wish you the best and hope you find a good teacher and sangha.
