Not really. Maybe when my eyes are dilated and I need to keep ALL light out, but that's a technicality. Or am I supposed to say "I wear my sunglasses at night. . ."? (That song gets old fast, by the way.)

Not really. I don't wear them much at all because I keep losing them.

Hmmm... I guess I sometimes keep them on when I don't need them, especially if I'm with friends- there's a certain feeling of security if I've got them on.

Never. I don't like to wear sunglasses. I can't see true colors with them.

Sure. I have prescription sunglasses in addition to my regular glasses. My eyes are also very light in color and therefore very sensitive. I often wear them even on an overcast (or squinty - as I call it) days. I don't wear them to disguise myself though, if that's what this question is all about.

I usually do when I think I might cry. Actually, any time it is light out I wear them, weather in the sunlight or not.

No, never. Other people think I do, because they are full of assumptions. For example. One of my family members was ill so much I had to call the Ambulence to my home. Well that afternoon I had gone to the eye doctor. My eyes were still sensitive and dialated, so I was wearing sunglasses. When the police got there thet thought I was high on something. So they were talking to me like I was out of it, when I was so with it they could not comprehend it. Comunication was very hard. I was cool and collected. They were pumped and excited. They were expecting me to be the same way. I followed them to the hospital because I knew it was a life or death situation and they had the patient, and they would know the fastest way to the hospital, but they slowed down so I could follow them to the hospital. I am thinking if I have a patient in the back of my ambulence and it seems to be a life or death situation. I would say fuck the relitives I have a job to do. Get the patient to the Emergency room. All this because an eye exam and a pair of sunglasses.

Sure. Either because I've been crying, or I have a migraine. I used to wear them to hide black eyes, but I realized that it *wasn't* my fault, and I *did* deserve better than that.

Only at night to keep track of visions in my mind. Cuz you don't mess around with a guy in shades, oh no. Ok, no, seriously, I don't wear sunglasses very often and the only time I do wear them is when it's sunny out and I'm driving or playing softball or some other reason to keep the sun out of my eyes.
Doug2, 29

Yes, to be anonymous when I'm feeling antisocial.
Tam
Yes. When I feel tired, or not wanting to really LOOK at people.

Sarah Jane, 15

Yes, I sometimes do. When my allergies are bothering me, light bothers my eyes so I wear shades.
Reba, 50+

I wear glasses and they automatically tint when I go out into sunlight.
Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
Of course! I'm that cool! Actually, yes..sometimes it's just to hide my eyes. I'm kind of quiet and reserved. Feel more anonymous that way.
Triana, 29

Nope.
Firelady, 24
Frisco, TX

Not really. I wear them to keep the sun out no matter how I am feeling...normal, hungover, leaving the eye doctor, etc.
Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA
Yes. When I think that I do not look so great and no one will recognize me!!!??? Ya, right.

I dont wear sunglasses at all.

Occasionally I did wear huge shades...so one could not see my eyes...my reasons can best be explained by 'The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be' Bret "the Hitman" Hart...When he first got into the business, he wore shades so he would not have to look at the crowds...or look people in the eye...I can empathize there...

I've worn them occassionally for costume parties where I show up as some sort of hippie punk. Sometimes I get lazy and just don't take them off when I enter a building. A guy I worked with one summer wore my sunglasses (they're prescription lenses) for a few hours because he said they made him feel high.

I don't really like sunglasses in general, because I don't like how everything looks kind of green, and the glare on them givesme a headache. But sometimes I'll wear them if I think they'll compliment an outfit...but never on my head!
