I am not sure how old you are so not sure where in life you may be. But at a certain point you've progressed as far as you can in your home life and desire further growth.

If you are underage, this can be difficult. It was for me as a teenager. I eventually went to live with my aunt and uncle halfway across the country. I was miserable there because they had their own set of problems that they took out on me, BUT it allowed me time to look into myself and realize my potential as an individual.

Please try not to believe that all hope is lost. Find your passions and learn to love yourself. If others say things about you, listen to them, thank them for the attention, and if the advice or comments are positive, take it in. If it isn't positive, let the words fall to the ground knowing that you don't need them. I know that's easier said than done but enough practice will help you get used to it. Eventually, you will love who you are inside.

Maybe take an elective class at the community center or YMCA. I understand you say you are home schooled, but maybe to help build up your social life, you can pick up a class that sparks your interest, like art, literature, cooking, yoga, endless possibilities... Pick something that interests you. And chin up, you just need to work on finding who you are inside and grow to love that person. It will take time but with effort, you will get there...
