For years I was the only one in my family that didn't wear glasses. When the doctor told me I needed glasses, I was so happy. I found glasses distinct, elegant, and, in girls, very very cute (my wife just started wearing glasses... wowza!).
My "real" me, the one I like and recognize in the mirror, has glasses on. And it's not one of those glasses that pretend they're not even there -- it's a thick black frame that dominates and complements my face.
I could totally get away with not wearing glasses in some situations, but (1) I like the visual comfort, and (2) I love wearing glasses.
Get the glasses that make you feel like yourself.
Yeah, I feel exposed without my glasses. I had the same pair of frames for well over a decade, so they were basically an integral part of "my face". Only got a new pair a couple of years ago to replace them because time did eventually wear 'em down.
Also, they do good job masking the ever-present racoon bags under my eyes, which is nice.
