When you're enlightened, what effect does your presence have on other people?

It varies greatly. Basically, it is completely up to them, not up to me.

Small children tend to start to giggle and not be able to take their eyes off of mine. They see themselves in me. We make funny faces at each other lol. It’s awesome. We both can’t stop laughing.

As for adults, if they don’t have a relationship with me, they don’t notice my presence at all. I’m just a regular dude to them who they’re currently doing business with. As they are to me, there’s no difference. I can’t “see their ego”.

If they do have a relationship with me, it depends completely on how they see me in the context of this relationship:

If they have authentic love for me, then it makes it even easier for them to love me. They are delighted in my presence.

If their love for me is condescending, that is, they are “positive” egos “lovingly” inflicting pain upon other people under the guise of setting an example, then my presence baffles them and makes them feel uncomfortable. They hate the taste of their own medicine and are subconsciously discouraged by the fact they can no longer invoke any pain in me. They feel that I did something unhealthy to myself. Poor souls hahaha, so blind to their own cruelty.

If they are attracted to spirituality in the true, authentic sense, my presence is calm and soothing to them. Such people don’t talk much in my presence, and I don’t talk much either.

If they have only begun the process of trying to figure themselves out, and they’re honest in doing so, my presence can be seriously overwhelming to them. They can find it hard to look me in the eye, can feel drained from a short conversation about themselves or even develop a headache, or suddenly wanting to close their eyes, or become sleepy. But they invariably come back for more because they’re learning to be honest with themselves, so they’re grateful. Honesty is rare, I’m always happy to help such people.

If they are arrogant enlightened egos who think they have already figured everything out, they abhor my presence. They see a lot of darkness in me, a lot of flaws, all the remaining hatred and pain in them is reflected back to them in my presence. It can make them physically sick, they may feel like they want to puke. Even though it’s super productive for them, they avoid my presence at all costs, and usually convince themselves to see me only under the guise of “helping me spiritually”. And I’m always happy to provide the puke for them, the more puke the merrier! Pass the puke. Hahaha.

So, it varies greatly.
