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.

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. :)
