You're lucky to live in such a tolerant society. Sometimes the
things I hear around here are just... shuddersome ;)
As for conlanging in particular, the reactions I've gotten
have usually ranged from "Eh. <total apathy>" to "What? You're
not one of those _Esperantists_, are you? <worried look>"
My family, to the extent they know of it, is supportive, but
I never really talk with them about it. Of my friends, only one
ever shows any particular interest, and he does it more for
political satire reasons than for anything else, and that
halfheartedly.
