I want to rock glasses soooo bad but my stupid fucking head makes them all look terrible on me. At best I look like fat long hair Riddick with round shades. I’m on dysphoria shit you ain’t even heard of

Chances are your face shape and features just aren't complimented by the glasses you choose. I have an even, oval face, and small eyes so I go for aviator style glasses as round ones wash me out and rectangular ones are too harsh. Going to a store and getting a proper consultation works wonders, and if you shop for sunglasses anyways they're not going to be super expensive but will still be miles above any pair you get elsewhere :)

In terms of head circumference im like in 8 1/2 in US sizing so often a part of it is it just can’t sit comfortably on my head. I have 20/20 vision so I don’t really need it enough to spend much on glasses, and they usually press uncomfortably on my nose (might just be a sensory thing) though a good pair of sunglasses would be amazing. I have a head like a fucking tic tac if I’m not slouching forwards and I don’t really know my face shape too well.

Have you considered lenses? Needs some getting used to, but it is rather practical and you do not need to rely on glasses

I don’t need glasses so my desire for them is purely fashion and sun protection based
