You seem like an awesome individual. Even if you aren't smiling in that picture, I bet that you're amazing to be around in real life.
I'm 6'7'' 180 lbs, high school senior, and seen as the "p-opular" guy in the class, I'm well respected by people all around me. I have friends that are like me, and those that aren't. Thing is, I accept people the way they are, and help to enhance their strengths. I have a friend who is a freshman, probably weighs near 400 lbs, but it doesn't matter to me. He's homeschooled, low self esteem, but I still pour my heart into him.
I said that not to encourage you, but to challenge you. I'm not going to pretend that I can solve someones problems over the internet, online. There's no way. I tell you that to say, people respect someone that accepts them. I bet you have a big heart, but right now you aren't using that, maybe even looking for that "special someone" to fill it. My advice, keep cultivating that heart for people, pour into others, friends you already have, and see if they don't respect you more. And I bet you'll realize some other "issues" that you think are challenges will melt away.
Sorry if I'm horribly off the mark, I just felt like I needed to say that, laugh at me if I'm wrong, but I mean it for good.
