1. It really depends on the location of where you live in my opinion. I come from a small country town, where I doubt that another brony even exists. For me, trying to find others online would be a better option. However, when I go to the city for example, I see a bunch of people wearing MLP merchandise, so I think it would be good to wear something like that in a city where you are more likely to find people with similar interests. 2. When I first came out I got a lot of horrible reactions to it, people would bully me and I could never hang out with them if I talked about it or even slightly mentioned it. But now that I've moved, I notice a lot more people I meet are happier about it, even if they aren't bronies. 3. Probably when talking about the whole show in general. Whenever I try to talk to people that don't know the show very well, it's really hard to keep up a conversation. I'd probably also say anything geeky in general, as I find that the people I know that are bronies often tend to be into other nerdy things, like Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Lord Of The Rings, etc. And of course whenever we get an episode with a Derpy appearance, theres nothing quite like talking to your brony friend and freaking out about it together and smiling!
