After accidentally sitting on my favorite pair today and destroying them, it got me wondering how many pair of shades I’ve owned in my lifetime.

I’m just gonna go with a round number and say about 50. I only buy cheap sunglasses btw

    Ok I would think you might be somewhat younger. This has been my philosophy for years but you start to rack up the numbers as time goes on!

      I’m late 30s.
      I can’t remember <13. So, at least the last 30+ years I’ve had 4 pairs of sunnies. Maybe 5 pairs.
      I’ve still got 2 of those pairs.
      I’m tempted to get a fancy pair that look good instead of just sunnies that look good enough (ie, more than $100). I just don’t wear them enough… Maybe a couple weeks a year?
      What’s the point in buying good sunglasses, and why would I lose a pair?
      I’ve had the same wallet for 15 years, I’ve been locked out once, and I’ve lost my phone about 3 times (all of which I’ve got my phone back).

      I’m recovering from about 10 years of undiagnosed depression. Recently (like a year) it has affected my short term memory, to the point I thought I had ADHD or something else. Effecting my work, my ability to live day-to-day, my socialmlife.
      I now realise, while ADHD might be a factor, undiagnosed depression has devastated who I am VS who I think I am and who I want to be.

      Are there other explanations for your forgetfulness?
      Is it age related? Anything else you find you are forgetting?

        You like your vision.

        You take them most places with you so you have a much higher chance of losing them.

        Other than the one I lost at the beach, I lost one on a roller coaster, I recall sitting on one, and a few plastic ones just broke. Not counting whatever I had as a kid, no idea there. Not an unreasonable number, I think.
