Don’t like being called sexy

I don’t know why. It has always just made me cringe. I don’t believe I could ever be sexy. I have a very specific image in my head of what sexy is.

However, regardless of all this, I still make a massive effort to look good for and please my man. He has said it before that I’m sexy to him but like I said, the word makes me cringe so bad.

Is there anyone who feels the same? How do I get over it? I know it crushes him to see my reaction to it cause he genuinely thinks it, along with many other compliments.
