I was at an event and walking past a guy who looked like he was going to say something. It ended up being ,”Nice glasses,” in a totally friendly respectful tone. He was wearing a similar pair. I returned the compliment. It made me feel less afraid and happy that someone noticed my glasses. They are pretty cool!
