Fighting with guilt about really wanting Smart Glasses

I've never in my life seen such divisive takes on a tech product in my life. I know people compare it to the internet, uber, other disruptors and that it will level out eventually, but comment sections make me feel like even being remotely interested in getting glasses is a moral failure and that I have a tiny bird brain.

But I'm clearly am obsessed with the idea of having the tech, my fyp on social media is almost exclusively about smart glasses and ai and i don't seem to get bored of the content, I'm really excited at the new release of the google/warby parker glasses and think it would be a great help for my poor organizational skills and keeping me accountable for things.

Probably an insecurity issue on my end but when i see a post about the glasses, i immediately open the comments damn well knowing its going to be a shit show of people talking about water usage, telling people they are sheep for being willfully surveilled. I understand these consequences and do have legitimate concerns as well. I'm avoiding meta for now because they do seem sketchy but i'm not so skeptical that I would never wear the glasses.

The itch for the glasses is real, I almost want to pull the trigger and get some to calm down about it when i inevitably realize it's not going to ruin my life but I'm just so afraid of the "creepy glasshole" judgements lol.

I just want to know if anyone else deals with this and if owning a pair has reduced the anxiety about owning a pair.
