Your privacy with Bitcoin use depends on your practice with UTXOs, for inputs and outputs and how you connect your wallet to servers, nodes to broadcast your Bitcoin transactions.

Wallets that are non custodial, give you coin control (control on UTXOs) will give you better privacy and anonymity if you can connect to Tor for transaction broadcast.

I think I disagree with you a little bit here. To hold your bitcoins, you don't have big problem with privacy. Problem only occurs when you need to move your bitcoins from your wallet, then it is turn of coin control feature and good wallet software can help you.

But you just make sure that you aren't suggesting to them that you have much.

So interestingly, I'm submitted to this and if I must say, then I'd sincerely tell you that this seems to be one of the tactical strategy that I've ever adopted in discussing about bitcoin either with friends or relatives. In as much as bitcoin is not a prohibition for discussion even though in the countries where it's banned. Of course it can always be a topic for discussion either of a good or bad reputations.
So if paraventurely there's a need in discussing about bitcoin with anyone, it's better preferable not to even let them know you've any. Probably I chooses to have this terminology that though I've interest to Invest on it somedays. Else the little not as much as we may think that the people out there might take it to be so little as we may insight them about the little portfolio of our bitcoin holding can actually be in doubt to the people and that little holding we may have brought to their knowledge can be attractive to them on the negative side for us.

We shouldn't forget that there are people that can do the undo for little things or even worth affordable stuffs. Some people can naturally be envious with the possession of wickedness to the highest level.
So I'd rather choose to keep my investment anonymous but keep an easy flow of bitcoin discussion with everyone. Sometimes at our leisure bitcoin discussion can be something of fun in biding to further knowledges to your hodling. So definitely you can't keep the aspirations to bitcoin all by yourself and this is also why such a bitcointalk discussion board was formed.

As much as I don't want to talk about Bitcoin to anybody in person, I think it is close to impossible to completely avoid it. In the first place, your family, or at least a few members of your family, must have an idea that you are into it. The same is true with some close friends.

Sometimes Bitcoin is brought to the table for discussion and it seems wrong not to share a little information about it especially if there are misconceptions that you can easily correct. It's a missed opportunity not to educate friends and relatives a little about Bitcoin when they're interested about it. It's both for them and for Bitcoin's adoption as well.

But you just make sure that you aren't suggesting to them that you have much.

If you live with your family, then it's almost impossible to hide it except an Average Joe who don't care about Bitcoin discussion, so they choose to buy and then forget it. But if you spend your time to play around in this forum, read some articles or watch some videos about Bitcoin, then there's will be a time they caught you're have an interest with Bitcoin.

Remember, when you try to correct misconceptions, you're showing you're capable in Bitcoin subject, resulting they will think you're own a lot Bitcoin without need to reveal your holdings.

In a case scenario where friends are gather they normally talk about different things which lead to arguing and bragging (crypto currency & Bitcoin) who has more asset they do this to lure you out and spill the bean how much is in your possession. People who are wise understand the scheme going on but most people just want to get along the flow eventually spilling the bean.
Now if something happens to that person's Bitcoin/Altcoin who is solely is responsible?

Why even keep friends then? If you can't be opened to your friends, if you can't all have good conversations about crypto and your holding, it means you don't trust eachother, why still keeping them? Well, i don't keep much friends and I have had an ugly past with friends before so I cut them off, one of the best things I have ever done.

There is no point in keeping fake friends, if you keep secrets and they keep secrets there is lack of trust, there shouldn't be friends in your circle in the first place, its not a must to have friends, some people will do very well in life if they never had friends.

How their lives turned out to be is because of the friends they keep, I find out that my friends are jealous of my success, and its brings up some little fights among us, expecting me to always solve their problems, I figure out that they will suck me dry and still blame me later so I quit, most friends are not worth keeping after all.

It is important we keep holding our Bitcoin at long as possible and we don't have to tell the world that we are holding a particular amount of Bitcoin. Hackers are everywhere and they know how to do there things to get there victim.
This is why many big men especially the influencer ones use to ensure they don't disclose there wallet addresses or the actually amount of Bitcoin they are holding. I think we need to be wise and k own what we are doing so that doe don't easily become a huct of hack because of our past lifestyle.
