I Am Insecure

Is it just me, or do glasses boost insecurity? I never feel good about myself when I wear glasses, not in comparison to wearing contacts, anyway. I’ve needed corrective lenses since I was ten, and around the age fourteen I finally got contacts and started to actually like the way I looked. Now, contacts just irritate my eyes more often than not and I’m back to wearing glasses some...
Hearing of people actually wanting to wear glasses - like as a fashion statement - is insane to me, haha.

I love wearing my glasses. I first got them about 15 months ago. I was happy because I always wanted to wear glasses.

I hope you either get contacts that don’t irritate your eyes or get a pair of glasses that you feel great about.

I'm not a fan of mine, but getting your eyes lasered is a bit scary

Scary, and expensive. Those advertisements make it seem like it’s relatively “cheap” but if your eyes are as bad as mine (my prescription is like -6.25 I think) it’s in the thousands.
Maybe some day, haha. I think it’d be worth it.

@KatieKatze it is in the thousands, but glasses are pretty expensive as well so in the long run it's cheaper I think

@neeneen and it doesn't last very long from what i've been hearing... for the last 20 years.

I wear them most of the time .. doesn't bother me.. I'm me... It's no biggie

It might be one of those "if you already feel insecure you'll find things to feel insecure about" things. Or the glasses themselves. I've had insecurities but these days feel good about how my glasses look on my face. Wouldn't mind not needing them for practicality's sake, but they're less hassle than contacts for me

I actually recently found frames that I don’t mind so much. Though I still prefer contacts, the glasses I have now don’t make me feel as insecure as others have. I’m glad you’ve been able to come to terms with glasses, hopefully I’ll get there some day, too. :)

I know I always felt a bit better when wearing my contacts, though I certainly know people who look very good with glasses on. I really think its about how you feel in them and how that plays to people around you.

I wear them but I don't like them, makes me look way older.
But sometimes I feel like safer with them... like as if I'm hiding with them

@KatieKatze You have pretty blue eyes though

@KatieKatze Glasses can also really frame your eyes and make them stand out more, so it's not always negative. Also there is nothing wrong with the strict librarian look ;)

Well, conveniently enough, I am going to be teaching high school English, haha. Maybe it’s fate.

@KatieKatze uh oh those high school boys don't stand a chance 🤣

Actually, I think glasses are cute :)

@TheotherAndy
I don’t think they look bad on others, but they sure do knock my confidence down.
personally, i think glasses are cute.

I was lucky enough to get Lasik surgery 10 years ago. I could never deal with contacts

That's why I shop for a long time for the most stylish of frames

I actually think glasses are very sexy on women.
You'd look great either way...it's still you
