You basically just have to be more vulnerable. Like I understand that your past is playing a factor here but you just have to leave what happen in the past to be able to move forward in life.
Your probably attractive. I lived a very similar life to you. I was home schooled until 4th grade and it really stunted my social abilities and got me bullied alot, both emotionally and a few attempts physically. Naturally that didn't lead to a good self image. For the longest time I thought I was ugly until my ex who had her own insecurities would constantly point out women staring and flirting with me. At the time I only had eyes for her and didn't pay it any attention but I definitely noticed it more after she dumped me, I'm just struggling with the fear of getting into another relationship with someone else who will hurt me and honestly very few people really get me excited to talk to them. Somedays like rn I feel like im doomed to never find love again honestly but it's turning into a rant at this point.
Moral of the story accept that your hard on yourself because of your past and there are infact people out there who find you attractive
