What would you think if a friend told you they had epilepsy?

I have epilepsy and dont like telling people i know. Actually only my closest friend know. I think that if you tell people they may feel a little bit awkward around you and may even be scared. So i’d rather not tell people because i feel that they unconsciously might look at me differently. What would you do? If a friend that you met lets say 3 months ago tells you they had epilepsy would you feel weird? What would be the first though that went through your head?
