If you saw a guy with 2nd degree burns all over his face at a nightclub, would that be gross or discomforting?

Asked by Kraigmo (9055points) November 4th, 2022

I got 2nd degree burns all over my face. The story behind that is insignificant here, but it’s no one’s fault.
I’ll be OK. I should be 100% normal looking in a few months.
I like to go out to cocktail bars for live music. These are not A-list establishments. (No dress codes, no expectations).
I’m not there to pick women up, so I never think about that, and don’t put that vibe out. Sometimes I do meet women and hang out with them or on rarer occasion, go home with them. But that’s not on my mind at all until such situations open themselves up without any effort on my part. My mission there is to enjoy the live music and join the dancers on the dance floor. (This is rock’n’roll dancing, not contact dancing)
But my question is: Would it be a common response to be grossed out by seeing my hideous burned face? Obviously they wouldn’t know what the problem is. They could think it’s acne blisters or birthmarks on dry peeling skin.
They’d have no idea. Just that it looks horrible.
My instinct is that 99% of people won’t mind and won’t care.
Am I right about that?
I like to make people comfortable even if they have no right to be comfortable.
