Some people may look at you differently, but it doesn't mean that you have changed. They know something about you that they didn't see before, and now they know a little bit more about who you are as a whole person. Relationships involve risk, but the people who truly love you will not stop loving you because of your orientation.

I think some people might see you in a different light sexually but would they see you as a different person I don't think so your the same person you were before they knew your sexual orientation and the Same person you have always been :)

Sadly, some people will. I can't really say it doesn't get to you, because sometimes it can get a little overbearing. But bear in mind that there are also a ton of people that will not see you differently :)

In my experience, at first yes. People sometimes have a habit of categorising the people in their lives. So when they learn of your sexual orientation there might be confusion, you might not be fitting in with the image or assumptions they have in their head. And that is just for them to deal with while you continue to be amazing.

Yes, but not necessarily in a bad way. There are people who are homophobic and will tease you or make fun of you in some ways, but not everyone will do so! There will always be people who will listen and support you. Remember, having a different sexual orientation isn't a bad thing.

Some people might be shocked, and some may not be sure how to feel. Some people might come off as angry, but usually that's surprise and confusion. Some people might leave your life. But the people who matter won't care-they'll be really happy for you! And, regardless of how anyone else sees you, you should know that it's absolutely no body's business who you're attracted to, what you do with that person and how you want to live ^^

Will people see you differently because you may be a lesbian, gay, transsexual, or any other sexual orientation? Of course! They may see you as what you identify you as instead of what you appear to be, they may see you as weird, different, or in some cases an abomination, but remember it is more important to be comfortable in your own skin than what other people thing of you.

maybe, maybe not. people are different. maybe someone will accept you, and maybe someone won't understand. but what you should remember, if people does not accept you, just shake it off. as long as you are happy, their comments don't mean anything.

The sad truth is most people will. You need to meet people that wont, and who will like you for you

It depends on the person. If you surround yourself with positive and good people, they might be surprised at first, but welcoming! Good Luck!!
