Herpes can affect people in a few ways.

Emotionally it can devastate some people to find out that they have it. Most people don't think that they can get herpes. Any one that has intercourse is at risk of contracting it. It's a change to some people and also some people don't know a lot about it so it can be scary at first for them to deal with having it.

Physically herpes commonly affects the skin on the mouth causing cold sores or on the genitals causing genital herpes. Break outs can vary in symptoms, the initial break out is usually the most pain full thing one may ever experience. Some people with herpes also report having lower back pains or leg pain around the time they have a break out. Besides that herpes shouldn't affect your life all that much, it shouldn't hold you back from doing what you want with your life.
