My inverted nipple is ruining my life

I have one inverted nipple and it really looks extremely ugly. It's the worst grade you can get plus if it is forced out ... with alot of force ... its not even a nipple it's kind of split in two. It's so so horrible.
I'm even embarrassed to be typing this.
I havent shown anyone my breasts without a bra on in about 16 years and that was my ex husband.
I have recently started dating a man and things got physical after a few wines the other night and I really fancy him, felt really comfortable around him.
We started getting undressed and I was telling myself you can do this... he took my bra off and I could visibly see a look of horror on his face. Anyway we slept together with me feeling so awkward and embarrassed, it was like I wanted the ground to swallow me up.
Anyway afterwards he seemed really wierd, i left , we made small talk , he was polite, weve messaged a little bit since , but hes not the same ..... it's my nipple isnt it?
I have looked into getting inverted nipple correction but I just cant afford to spend that money on myself atm as a single parent things are really tight money wise atm.
I have looked at getting it pierced but after messaging a local piercing place they said because it's so inverted and split... they won't do it 😭 I hate it so much I can barely look at myself in the mirror.
AIBU to just accept I'm never ever going to be able to sleep with anyone ever again?!

Both mine are inverted. I didn’t realise until I went for my first post 50 routine mammogram and the radiographer asked if they’d always been inverted.

There used to be something called nipplette that you could use at home to fix inverted nipples. Not sure if this still exists.

I don't want make light of your issue, because it obviously bothers you, and that's fine.

For a different perspective, I've had one inverted nipple since I was 18 ( I'm now 47) and I have never found a guy who had an issue with it.

Sure, I've had guys who have never seen one before, but none that have had any kind of a negative reaction once I casually said "Oh, it's an inverted nipple."

In fact, most of them have found it quite endearing, and developed a soft spot for that nipple over the other one.

A horrified reaction from a man is ridiculous, and reflects more on him than it does you or your inverted nipple.
