I know it's hard, but I can 100% promise you that the insecurity you're feeling over this poses a greater danger to your relationship than the actual thing you're worrying about. Insecurities are like poison that cause us to self sabotage and ruin the things we care about most because we spend every day living on fear to the point that we'd rather just force the outcome we're expecting rather than sit with the uncertainty. I honestly recommend trying your best to just focus on yourself, and the things that make you happy (that isn't your significant other) . Indulge in your passions as much as possible and it will slowly build your self esteem and confidence because you'll realize that even if the outcome you're fearing does happen, you'll still have those things that make you happy and that will help you endure. I had really bad body dismorphia and thought I was the ugliest person alive, and I was constantly thinking about it to the point it affected everything I did. Once I deleted my social media and self isolated for a few years, I just focused on my hobbies and accepted that I would be alone forever, but it was only once I accepted that and stopped caring if I was ugly or not, that I finally met people who were interested in me. It's the insecurities that made me unattractive and unbearable to be around. Try not to worry so much about how you look, you don't want to be pretending or having to maintain a perfect facade in order to stay with your significant other. That's beyond exhausting and unhealthy. It's infinitely more rewarding and fulfilling to be accepted as you are. If the person you like isn't into you without the facade then yeah it hurts but that means they weren't actually into the real you in the first place. Learn to love yourself before you can expect others to do the same
