I feel safer with sunglasses on

Post Reply New Topic

I dont like sunglasses. I dont know if Im the only one who feels uncomfortable with them on? Like they give me a slight headache? The filter view looking out just looks weird and a bit distorting.

Oh cool, I don't feel alone anymore !

I would like to have the power to be invisible, but in this world, sunglasses can make it.
Even if I feel uncumfortable with them (headaches too), I wear them everyday in summer, unfortunately, autumn and winter are not the best seasons to wear them and people would look at me more than usual

I also feel safer with sunglasses on. I wear them until it is literally too dark to see.

I wear sunglasses only when it's sunny out, or when I really feel I need something to hide my eyes behind. When I'm going for friendly social interaction, I try not to wear sunglasses, because my eyes and surrounding area are the most expressive part of my face. I also really, really don't like anything obscuring my vision. If I could find a pair of lighter ones that didn't darken the world so much, maybe I would wear them more.

I love wearing sunglasses. As long as my eyes are covered I feel protected and not-exactly invisible, but much less visible. Which is silly because they probably draw more attention to me than otherwise.

And it gets around the no-eye-contact thing. Plus if I'm off in my own world and not noticing other people around me I look as though I'm staring and that has got me into some awkward situations (and scary ones - on more than one occasion some rough woman has threatened me for supposedly eyeing up her boyfriend).

I feel less awkward with the glasses on, so that probably subtly changes my behaviour for the better too. And I joke that with the shades on, I look enigmatic rather than just weird!

I do too! My eyes wander a lot when I am avoiding eye contact, and so I find it more comfortable with sunglasses on since no one can see whether I am making eye contact or not. My eyes don't wander so much with them on either, and I am a bit more comfortable talking that way as well.

My husband used to get so mad at me because I would use my sunglasses as a defense mechanism. I feel much safer with sunglasses on. Like no one can get into my world. Helps me when I'm talking to someone and looking somewhere else because my face can face them, and yet I don't have to look at them in the eyes.
