Let's face it, if no one cared what impression they made, we'd all be riding gold wings. It's normal to care what people think of you on your bike. But, if you feel better with a full helm, go for it. It's your head.
I compromise between not wanting to wear a helmet at all and wearing full protection. I wear a half helm and cheap leather jacket when it's cold.
Part of the ride for me is feeling the wind in my face. I see bikes so packed up luggage, stereos, heaters, intercoms and fully space-suited mom and pops, I wonder why the hell they don't just buy a convertable.

+1 Same here, I prefer no helmet, but when it's cold out or windy as hell out I break out the full face helmet. Nice when riding in rain also.
