Barely hold my bfs hand in public cause of insecurity of age gap

Can’t hold hands since insecure about age gap

Hello, I’m 27F and my partner is 50M, we met online about a year ago and I just wanted to write about how I struggle with holding hands with my partner in public. I feel embarrassed even saying that cause I really care about him I just feel like people are staring at me more and judging me for god knows what reason. I know it’s all in my head and they can be looking for any reason. It doesn’t help that I look a lot younger than my age cause I have a baby face. Someone’s already called him my dad lmao.

Does anybody have any advice on how I can get over it? I just get this overwhelming anxiety from it.
