Many of the elves already know about his past because they have been around as long as he has (they been around as long as he has been in Middle Earth) and they knew about his origins so he did not have to tell them. I would think that the main reason that he did not talk about his past was because the hobbits were around much of the time and he probably thought that they could not absorb that he had been around that long. Especially because the hobbits history only went back for a very short time.
