bad posture. do you have bad posture or wear glasses?

Post Reply New Topic

I wear glasses because of Myopia and Amblyopia.
Unfortutely my back looks somewhat round like ( - it annoys me, but everything is so low and my head is so high!
My motions aren't pretty, I'm dyspraxic.

I recently acquired glasses.

I'm not sure about bad posture but I frequently sit leaning absurdly forward to where I can touch my toes, especially when I want to hide.

I always used to have terrible posture at school, but once I graduated and was able to wear my own clothing at university (especially my long coat) I started standing up straighter.

As for glasses... I don't have or need them, but they suit me and I'm considering getting some without lenses in order to soften my expression. I tend to glare at people without realising.

I've had glasses and bad posture since I was 5... but I'm working on the posture! It gives me chronic back pain.

Old thread is old...

Posture - My posture by default is bad, I CAN show good posture, but only when I'm self-conscious about that or trying to make a good impression... in which case, I'll have good posture but I'll move awkwardly because my "bad posture" is more comfortable, more... me.

Eyesight - I'm nearsighted and wear contacts. I have glasses, but I very rarely wear them. They're uncomfortable, and forget everyone elses opinions, I don't like how I look with them. My eyesight isn't really great without glasses or contacts, but I'm usually okay. I'm not nearly blind.

Yes, actually, there are plenty of things worse than being deformed. Practically anything bad is worse than being deformed. I also have various "deformities" (of the neck, jaw, skull, joints in general, etc.), some visible and some barely so, so I'm not just pulling things out of my rectum here. Most people I know with deformities are fairly happy people. Not chirpy, but content at least. Including people born with missing or partially missing limbs or fingers.

Yes, there are people who will treat you worse if they see something different about you. But that's called ableism and it's not a reflection on you. It really sounds as if you've internalized these ideas and are turning them against yourself. It sounds like you might need to get rid of the bully that has taken up residence in your own head. Deformities are not in and of themselves a reason to cry every day.

Cystic Fibrosis is worse than being deformed.

Yes but I think it's from scolosis. I wear glasses but I think they make me look prettier and smarter. When someone says something stupid I pull them down a little and peer over the top. I used to hate wearing glasses because I hated how they made me look but I just needed to find the right frames and get my eyebrows shaped.

I have bad posture, and I don't wear glasses because I don't need to.

My posture is fine, I think. Sometimes I catch myself slouching at the computer. And I've been told that when I'm uncomfortable I stand very stiffly and awkwardly. Apparently I also tilt my head at a slight angle occasionally without realizing it.

I'm nearsighted, but I don't like wearing glasses - I haven't worn them since I got contacts.

I wear glasses - I juggle through three pairs - reading, reading and seeing a distant screen, and driving. Old age...

And my posture's not good, although at least some of the time I work on it.

I have been told I look apeish because of how big I am and how hunched I would be when standing or walking. I have to constantly remine myself to sit or stand straight as to blend in with the boring but mean spirited NTs. I do wear glasses but I have been toying with lasic vision repair.

I have somewhat bad posture and walk with a bit of a lurch.But all the physical exercise that I have done in my life has helped enormously in improving my coordination. I still stumble once in a while. I wear thick glasses now, but only because human eyes are lazy. Once you start using glasses, the eye muscles relax, because the artificial lens compensates for natural vision. As the eye muscles relax and atrophy, stronger lenses are needed to compensate for the increasing weakening of the eye muscles. It becomes a vicious circle.

Today I've been working on my neck. I've been holding my head up - and I felt a little different than usual. Also I found people ain't looking at me as much, so (I know it sounds ridiculous) all that time people were just looking at me because of how I held my neck and head.

The bad news is - I have an agonising pain in my neck, a massive back-ache, unbearable pains in my shoulders, and a severe migrane-like pain at the back of my head. I've just had some pain-killers. But I'd rather put myself through all this pain than to have NTs looking at me weird. It may have decreased my comfort, but it's increased my self-esteem.

And when people say ''there's nothing worse than...'' they don't mean it literally. It's just an exaggeration people use when they're complaining

i have bad posture but that is partially do to back problems (sheummerman's kyphosis and mild scoliosis)

i am prescribed glasses for reading but i dont really use them often

Yes and yes. I'm working with a chiropractor on posture right now. He wants me to be more cocky. And I keep telling him I'm not. I can feel better circulation when I sit up straight though, and my neck muscles relax.
