Imagine having mathematics as your hobby. Most people do not like mathematics and shun those who do with the title of nerd.
Would you refrain from reading a mathematics text on the train just because your are afraid of people staring at you? I know I wouldn't.
I had a friend like that in high school. He often was reading some 1000+ pages math books (the one I took a look at was actually well-written and if I had actually read it entirely instead of some random pages, maybe I'd even understand some of it ) on school breaks. He was one of the youngest (if not THE youngest) member of Polish Mensa and even gave a lecture about 4-dimensional geometry on some elite Young Mathematicians' Congress.
Also an awesome guy in person. Wonder what he's doing now, haven't seen him since I graduated from high school...
