What are you guys and gals saying to the people around you?

This is meant to be a question to all the people who do this procedure "secretly". I think that is only possible in beginning - but once you start meeting your friends again they will for sure notice - i was just playing those theoretic situations through in my head and it is just awkward, no matter how i twist the story in my head hahaha.
Does anybody have some real life expirience / stories, they wanna share with us?

Thanks for your replies, everyone. Very interesting input!

I also expect a certain threshold where simply everybody would realize that something changed, but if you stay in a lower range of lengthening it might just be obvious to people that are/were once very close to you.

Yes I also agree about the honesty part - if i would do it i would openly communicate it, at least to those who bring the topic up.

Anyways, would be nice to get even more input from people who already experienced it, cheers
