Are you horrified? Do you want to look away?
There was just an ad on TV for a program about a burn victim, missing a large part of her nose. I... am quite freaked out by such things. Why wouldn't I be? I'd never say that to the person, of course, and I don't feel good about not wanting to look at them. But I just don't want to.
I assume I'm not the only one who feels that way. I don't encourage people to shun burn victims or otherwise scarred or malformed people, I just wanted to share how I feel. =/

Doesn't bother me. Anything physical is hardly the fault of the person affected, and they're still the same person - physical appearance doesn't change who they are. They'll be aware of the impact their outward appearance may have on others, and may even understand it, but if you can just get to the fact that they have excessive scarring due to trauma to their skin, its really not that freaky. Lass got burned - it happens. Carry on as per
