This doesn’t read like a photography question at all. You’re intrinsically valuable as a human being, worthy of love and happiness independent of your physical appearance. Stop comparing yourself and be yourself. You’ll never truly be anyone but you, but you can waste your whole life trying not to be. Shift your focus outward and you’ll find more peace inward.

Just state all necessary info in the description and ignore questions like that. They’ll just have to learn to research if they want the deal.
Perhaps you’re trying to produce images like you see from others. Find your own voice. I’d quit social media (or at least stop looking at the work of others) before quitting photography. I produce odd images from different perspectives than you’d typically see. It’s not what’s trendy or whatever, but nothing wrong with how I’m doing things. Practicing photography my way fills a void for me that can’t be filled any other way.
Unless your portfolio is nudes, especially male, then they’re pervs.
I get around this by refusing to photograph people in general. People are so dumb that they think ‘nice looking camera means camera owner take pics of all subjects.’ Human beings are difficult, but somehow family and friends can be the worst ones.
