Depending on how you broach the subject to people, they can be very open to lucid dreaming or at least think it's pretty cool. However, the main reason people think it's odd that I pursue LDs is that they view sleeping not as an activity but a state where you just shut off your mind and conk out for 8 hours. They think it takes more effort than it's worth and that it will reduce their quality of sleep (despite me telling them this isn't the truth). The sad fact is that most people are just really damn lazy If someone on this forum knows a great way to get people interested in it, by all means share it with us, because I'd be just as interested as you are in finding the ideal method.
I'm pretty cautious about who I talk to about my lucid dreaming hobby. Over 6 years I've only got 2 people semi-interested. It's hard... I wouldn't recommend giving up trying to find (offline) friends to share your hobby with, but in the meantime enjoy the company this forum provides and keep your chin up 
P.S. What do you mean by "Dreamstalkers??"
