I dunno if you come from a small town or a big city. But I guess small town, cause you wouldn´t make a fuss about your ears, if you live in a big city.
Does not matter.
What you wear should only and foremost be your decision. If people react, let them react and ignore, if their reaction isn´t to your liking.
I know, people are cunts. But let em. You will feel free, if you wear it a couple times. And you will see. Most people does not care. Some people will notice. Some will shake their heads, and even some will make bad comments. But. It is your live, and not theirs.
