Hello Mindhak,
For me, pre-transition (and otherwise), my goal with breast growth was to obtain whatever size my body gave me. Even when I took cold-turkey breaks from PM, permanently stopping with NBE was never an idea I contemplated. Over the years when I was presenting as male, I did get some comments from people: some were rude, others were a bit surprised (since my boobs looked like breasts instead of moobs). It's very possible other people noticed but said nothing (or at least, not within earshot of me). I also got some questions/concerns from doctors as well as a diagnosis of gynecomastia. One doctor wanted to check there wasn't anything wrong with my liver, the other wanted to verify if another doctor had already talked to me about my gynecomastia.
I think having a supportive partner is a huge win as far as if you choose to continue your NBE journey.
