Hello Frontier,
Welcome to the forum.
A number of members have already given you good advice. I'll try to share my own opinions without being redundant.
Not everyone experiences mental benefits from taking pm, but those that do typically feel it before getting noticeable breast growth. The dosage recommendations for mental benefits vs. breast growth may vary or be the same depending on the individual. For a while I suspected my dosage for mental benefits exceeded the amount for breast growth. However, adding spearmint to my regime helped to lower the former's dosage requirements I think.
As far as wanting the benefits but not the breasts, my suggestion would be to put some serious thought into your gender identity and to what extent are you open to bending or breaking society's rules concerning the expression of gender. Depending on your gender identity, you may come to realize that having developing breasts is not such a horrible thing and actually accept or embrace such changes. If on the other hand you are deeply concerned about the potential scorn from your family, friends, employer, etc., maybe NBE is not something for you at this time. Golus poses a number of good questions to consider regarding this I think.
In regards to hiding them, it varies. No matter I wear, I usually got some projection going for me. Wearing layers or certain kinds of colors or fabrics can partially conceal my development. However, those with a keen eye for detail can probably discern the fact I don't have the typical flat male chest. I posted some pictures of me wearing a sports bra underneath a shirt in one of my picture threads. I believe one member (sfem I believe), made the point that once you attain a certain amount of growth, the most you can do for concealment is making your breasts look like moobs.
Hypothetically you could try to get solely the mental benefits by taking a low dose of pm combined with an anti-androgen like SP or spearmint. However, my thoughts are if you don't want breasts whatsoever, don't take NBE herbs.
Yes, your comment on relationships make sense. I'm also single and have no plans on having kids. (I don't think it would be possible for me anymore). I still would like to have a female partner, one that is open and accepting of my nonconforming gender identity.
I can only imagine what would happen if I went topless in a public shower room or somewhere.

And, yes I believe it will be possible to hide them under clothing up to a point. But, face it, I'll be inviting stares if I go shirtless at the beach or use the YMCA showers.
