Do you wear sunglasses at all?

[FriendlyShadow]

I'm specifically speaking towards people who shield their eyes from talking to other people with their sunglasses on. I was just wondering if anybody in this forum were uncomfortable with talking to people and making eye contact and if they feel more comfortable talking to people with sunglasses. I prefer now wearing sunglasses since people won't see the awkwardness and timidness showing in my eyes,(besides the fact I hate my eyes anyways) is it bad to wear them all the time though?

Yes!!! Sunglasses are a godsend! Like a shield!

Not me. My hairs thinning a bit so I occasionally wear a cap. If I wear sunglasses too, I'm one fake mustache away from being a sex offender.

I don't think wearing sunglasses is actually harmful.

I don't think it's bad wearing them.

I personally don't wear them myself. I would wear them if the environment would cause it to be a necessity (such as in an icefield or at a salt lake or something). But otherwise... Hiding your eyes is also like hiding one tool of communication at your disposal. People with sunglasses seem, in my opinion, distant in some way. Especially when I spend time with friends I wouldn't wear them.

I look stupid in sunglasses, so no, I don't. I have a weird head/nose that makes them look strange on me, so I go without. I have no issues with eye contact, so that's lucky for me, heh.

Only for photos, because my face looks weird otherwise.

I wear mirrored aviators every day while driving to work or when I'm outside doing stuff, love them. That is, on sunny days.

The problem for me is that I wear prescription eye glasses, so I'd need prescription sunglasses If I actually wanted to see anything. To top it off, I work overnight, so I'm usually awake at night, and sleep during the day, and wearing sunglasses at night would be pointless, unless I was Corey Hart.

I never used to wear sunglasses until last summer. I have a very thin face so it was pretty much impossible to find sunglasses that didn't stay huge on me and didn't cost a lot. Eventually found ones for 40€ that look OK on me. I only wear them when it's very sunny because I can barely keep my eyes open. Never used them as a shield, I'll always have the thought that somehow the light can allow them to see through them.

No, I never wear sunglasses, I worry too much about what people might think.

I want to wear sunglasses in the summer. Wearing them in the winter just looks awkward. Though, I do wear sunglasses sometimes to watch TV because I feel better this way.
