I think there would be a fairly large difference in reaction, from the people with whom you regularly interact, between growing breasts over a period of 3-5 years versus showing up at work one day with them. The sudden change is much more likely to generate the kind of negative reaction which we all shrink from. If you can survive that kind of reaction without a problem, then growing breasts should be a walk in the park. I think for most it might only be valid if you are willing to take a long time gradually increasing the size of your falsies. Granted, if you can do that you will really find out how the people you know will react and how you will feel about that. I also think the bra part is important. If you are growing breasts, you don't need and probably don't want to wear a bra anytime early in the process other than for personal gratification. This means people get used to the change in your shape without the added reaction to your wearing the "wrong underwear". I do have to say my view on this has changed somewhat in the last 4 years or so of doing NBE. But this is how I feel about it today.
