How to silently announce moving away from corporate.

Background : Male 54. Live in T1 city. Moved away from a high paying IT corporate job last year. Kid already working and not dependent on me. Own house. No loans. Diversified portfolio to take care of any ups and downs in future.

Past 1 year : Working with a friend in an early stage startup. Even though I am not working to earn money, noticing that my role demands lot of efforts and is causing me ownership stress - practically defeating the purpose of quitting corporate. Thinking of quitting altogether.

Need advice :  How best to quit without letting others in social circle/relatives know ? As @throwaway_mg1983 replied to my last post define your “job” post retirement. Everyone is poky and if you have free time, you sort of start losing respect/ taken for granted.’ It’s a real challenge - I can see my RWA pulling me in to take up society position, my relatives expecting me to be available for all occasions :(.

Per general suggestions - open a company and update LinkedIn as investor/advisor/self employed - any other thoughts as this looks as good as ‘retired’ for suspecting eyes.

Appreciate your inputs.
