DAE get a panic attack when your crush is too beautiful or hot?

Question

She's a very sweet girl. She is very nice to me. We both connect well and I like her very much. She is a knockout 10. Me, I am average at best.

Depending on the way she dresses or does makeup, she can sometimes look too beautiful or hot. When that's the case, I instantly get anxious and sometimes even have panic attacks and try to avoid her.

Is it because of fear of abandonment? Realisation that she has a lot of options?

How do I work on it?
