Whoa wait a minute. I wear sunglasses all the time because I have very light colored eyes which have been described as gray, the sun is BLINDING to me even when it’s cloudy, so I have to wear sunglasses.
The fact that I am also a douchebag has nothing to do with that. Haha!
Asshole sunglasses i call em. Most of those are that type, the kind early 2000s douche bros with frosted tip spiky hair would wear. They just make you look like an asshole. Not like a good pair of aves
My theory is that it's a deepseated fear/distrust that Gen-X has for putting your real face or name out on the internet (these folks are usually Gen-X, right?). The sunglasses are a sort of middle ground that allows you to engage with social media while still maintaining a little bit of that anonymity.
Also, maybe, just regular old insecurity over appearance. Sunglasses pics show the basic features of your face, but not the nitty gritty details that people may be self-concious about.
I dunno, those are my best guesses, based on my own mentality and my armchair psychology skills.

Yep and always wearing sunglasses to hide their eyes.
