so ive recently just got some new glasses which i knew i needed just not this bad. im glad i got them but im too scared to wear them around other people. i need them for anything to do with reading and writing. so that means i have to wear them around people but im too scared to. and having a very low self esteem everything rattles me. i also have anxiety and depression as well so it kinda doesnt help that fact either
Somehow you need to deflect their silly immature comments...
I was embarrassed and self conscious when I started wearing them too.

Hey @Former-Member
A girl I work with had to get glasses. She was super impressed with her new 'professional look'.
I was teased about my glasses as a 10 year old and most of my classmates did not wear them. Being older now, most of my friends have them at least for reading and I know someone who makes them a fashion statement, has a few pairs to go with different outfits.
