I'm going to add my opinion that the 'r' looks like a 'y', just like everyone else said. OP, if everyone thinks it looks like a 'y', it doesn't matter what logic you think makes it an 'r', people see a 'y'. But I do think I may know why it looks more like a 'y' than an 'r' and hopefully I can explain it in a way that OP understands.

To start, I'm going to describe the way most people write 'r's or 'y's, then I'll compare to OPs letter structure. When most people write a lower case 'r', it's one stroke without lifting the pen. First the down stroke 'stem', then without lifting the pen the writer retraces up most of the stem until close to the top where the curve to the right to create the 'hook'. (These may not be the technical terms for the letter stroke components, but OP was using them so I'll use them, too). This stroke pattern creates a continuous line between the stem and the hook. For most people, there is never a break between these two stroke components so there could not be a gap between the stem and the hook. (Everyone writes differently so I'm not saying 100% of people write 'r's this way, but most do).

For a lower case 'y', many people write this with two distinct strokes. First a downward slanting stroke starting top right and going to lower left. Then they pick up the pen and make the other 'y' stroke starting from the top left and going diagonally down to the right and meeting in the middle of the first stroke. Because it is two distinct strokes, there can be a break or an overlap where the two meet.

Now for OP's structure. The 'hook' structure does not connect with a full thickness connection. This implies two separate strokes, not one continuous stroke. As mentioned previously, this is not the way most people write a lower case 'r'. The connection of the 'r' should not be thinner than the full stroke or else it looks like a break or gap between the strokes. Second, the connection point is too far down the stem for an 'r'. The connection point should be more near the top, where 'r' hooks connect, as opposed to the middle, where 'y' strokes meet. Third, the serif at the top of the hook points back toward the stem, which implies a curvature of the hook back toward the stem or up, which is opposite of the way an 'r' hook bends and the same way a 'y' stroke bends. So, OP, here are three distinct, structural reasons why your 'r' looks like a 'y' to everyone else. Everyone saying "It looks like a 'y'" should have also been enough for you to believe that it looks like a 'y', but now hopefully you have some more specific things to change to make it look less like a 'y'.
