Do I really need a trim?

I’ve been trying to avoid cutting my hair other than a small trim every 6 months, but my family insists that it looks bad and that I need to take several inches off. I have a lot of layers and it’s cut in sort of a V shape, so it’s hard for me to tell if the ends actually look bad or not. This is my hair after air drying with no styling, so please excuse the bumps and messiness haha. What do y’all think?
