I'm the same as well, if it comes up, I will tell them. I can't just lie to them, I am not a very good liar.

Haha, I don't lie about because I don't feel like there's a reason to. Most of the conversations go
"I like role playing."
"What's that?" 
"Writing with other people."
"Oh, okay."

^ThisThis is what I'm like, and I seriously don't get why more people don't think like this. :/I mean seriously, you're better off with friends who are actually your friends and not a bully under a guise.

Yeah, I agree. Though it doesn't generally come up with a lot of my friends because I'm just not interested in talking about it with people who just don't get it? I think a majority of my friends know I role play, but talking to them about it is probably the biggest waste of breath, lol. So for a lot of people it might not be "I'm worried about getting judged." It could be "this is a hobby that isn't fun to talk to people about who don't do it." 

And I think that goes for most hobbies and interests: you can really only have in depth an engaging conversations about them with people who get it. Case and point: sports go over my head so my friends who like them don't talk about it with me. And they shouldn't because I won't be able to follow so I won't care and it'd be so one sided. 

Only time this is an exception is when someone seems interested in trying it out themselves, at least for me.
