And Your Friends Are?
My friends? They’re Christian actually. I actually don’t have any friends who are Wiccan. There’s a gal at work who used to be Wiccan, now she’s agnostic. There’s another gal at work I talk to who is Pagan. But no Wiccans. 
I don’t know why no Wiccans, but no Wiccans. To me that’s all right, as I am a solitary anyways.
My friends are tolerant of me, although a couple of them are less tolerant of my faith than others are. My best friend still harbors hope that I will return to the flock of Christianity. She’s surprised that so far that hasn’t happened. I’ve been studying Wicca for 4 years now and I’m happy. I think she’s finally starting to see that.
However, I do admit, sometimes it would be nice to talk about Wicca with someone who understands it because that’s who they are as well. That’s right people, being Wiccan is not WHAT you are it’s WHO you are. Being Wiccan means embracing all that is YOU and celebrating all that is YOU. You aren’t afraid to be different, you aren’t afraid to be yourself, for THIS is how the Goddess & God created you. You are doing what you do best, you are being YOU.
Well, at least that’s MY perception of it anyways.

I don’t have any Pagan friends either. It is nice sometimes to have someone to talk about Wicca and spirituality with. But, I find myself feeling I am not doing enough and then I think I am just pretending to be Pagan. People make it seem like a contest rather than being something pretty personal. I just don’t talk about it much at all now.

That’s a good way to see it.
And yes, there will always be people that look at you strangely when you say what your faith is.
