I have had a mixed impact. I've definitely made new friends. Some old friends have become distant, while others don't care, and others have become closer. Some those that have become closer, have also become nudists.
Always a possibility, I had a home where I rented rooms to help pay my expenses, openly nude and honest with several friends. Outdoor gardens were especially naked places as well as bonfires. I live on Cape Cod, visit the Big Island Hawaii as often as I may, most of my friends there are nudists.
I have always been open about my naturism. Ninty nine percent of the time it is positive. I have as many non-nudist friends as nudist ones. However, thee nudist are the closest friends.
Mixed results, but more positive than negative. Really, no outright negative results, no one has left my circle because of Naturism. Mostly because I present in an accepting perspective. I respect others and expect the same. I have always traveled the less traveled path, including nudity. I've never had to transition to naturism.
My closest friends are aware of my preference for going about the day free of clothing, but with only a couple of exceptions are not willing to join me. I haven't seen it as affecting our relationship.
Aside of my nudist friends, reactions vary. Some people are super curious and seem interested in checking it out, while more prudish people think it’s odd and would never go anywhere near it.
I have made new friends. Had old ones basically stop communicating, but never outright telling me why. Yet for the most part the vast majority of friends have been understanding, supportive and generally unbothered.

I've made many new friends through naturism. I have lost some old friends as well. Many think it's perverted or sexual and won't listen.

Haven't told many people about my nude activities, so there isn't a lot of change.

I've been involved in organising the World Naked Bike Ride for 20 years now, and a good part of my friend group are people I met in that cause.
