I broke my glasses. I bought the readers at the drug store this past fall/winter.

I tried them on only to read my cell phone. They were the right strength. I brought them home. After a bit i went by a mirror with them on

Yup, I looked like an angry bird.

Now they are gone and i will miss them.

Oh, I hope you can find an identical pair. Rhiannon12866 Feb 2021 #3
I was unclear. Yes you are right. We see the person and not the glasses. applegrove Feb 2021 #4

And you should wear them when you need them. Plus, you tend to judge your appearance more harshly than others do. I've felt that way myself sometimes, but then I realized that what was making me self conscious was likely something that no one else would notice.

I mostly use them outside the apartment to hold my hair back. Thanks for your kind words.

I was confused, I thought you got glasses to replace the ones you broke, but you didn't like them. And I meant what I said, we judge ourselves much more harshly than others do. There are people who I see all the time who I couldn't say whether they wear glasses or not...
