I Just Want To Be a 'Closet' Christian

Yes, that was the plan.
I'm weird and difficult as I am now, and I can't afford to add 'Christian' to that list. People have their own perceptions about Christians. More importantly, if a lot of people find me difficult to get along with now, how much more if they learn that i want to follow Jesus.
How will they react? Will people I know start to stay away from me? Will they think of me having an early midlife crisis? How can I tell my mother that I no longer wish to accompany her to our annual devotion to a particular saint? I maintain my respect for my mother and her beliefs, and I have nothing bad to say against that specific saint and all others for that matter. But recent events have led me to form my own belief system.
I honestly don't know what happened.
