Contact lenses or glasses

I have been wearing contact lenses for around half a year until now and I have been wearing glasses before that. I think I should wear glasses again because It feels as though i'm cheating to society when wearing contact lenses. They don’t assume I’m aided by a pair of bags inside my eyes. I also think of wearing glasses because they are cheaper relatively. But I don't like my self with glasses.

What should I wear?

I do realise this isn't largely professional on giving advice.

However, girls, I am hoping to receive advice of some form.

I have contact lenses and glasses, and I regularly wear both (usually contacts if going out, because they just look better on me).

I guess you should wear whichever you feel comfortable with- if wearing contacts makes you feel bad/uncomfortable, then don't wear them!

I have contact lenses and glasses, and wear whichever I can be bothered with on that particular day.

I don't wear contacts simply for cosmetic reasons, because I find that my glasses can really get in the way of some things and, at times, impair my sight rather than aid it. You're not cheating society, and to be honest, why would anybody care if you need glasses/lenses? Appearance-wise, just keep in mind how many girls refuse to walk out of the house without full make-up on, so you're certainly not fooling the world anymore than most people.
