Dealing with Social Anxiety as a Young Person Using a Cane

I’m 19 and going to start using a cane soon. My chronic pain has been very quickly getting worse and worse and walking is very difficult lately. I have fibromyalgia, cfs/me and am hypermobile. I have really bad social anxiety because I am autistic and I’m very nervous about being young and using a cane in public. I’m worried about peoples’ judgements and questions and people staring. My mum is already saying that by getting a cane I’m “letting the disability win” and that people my age shouldn’t need to use a cane. It makes me feel so bad. Anyway, just wondering how others who use walking aids have dealt with these feelings.
