When I wear contacts my features look different, when I am not wearing them I look in the mirror close enough so I can see clearly and I look different and what upsets me is that (I haven't told anyone about this only family know) I had cartilage surgery on my nose in 2017 and it's pretty much healed since then only thing is my nose shape and how it looks has changed, I miss the way my nose looked before. Since surgery I've been wearing my glasses mainly cause I feel so self conscious about my nose and I tried contacts for the first time since my surgery in December 2017 and the fact that I used to wear them before and I felt ok wearing contacts but now I saw myself in the mirror and I'm really not happy with the way I look. And I'm pretty sure I might just stick to wearing my glasses cause I really don't feel confident anymore since surgery. :'(( this is hard to talk about cause people won't understand or they might judge me idk. I just want to cry I don't like how I look.

Hi nine times out of 10 we notice things about ourselves that ppl don’t even pay attention to or even know we changed. Most importantly gradually wear then less just to give myself time to get use to not hiding behind them. I’ll be fine
