I don't know what the hell I am doing, or what the hell I should do.... Was I chase a chimera all this time? Am I being unrealistic in expectations from life?

I'm sorry you are feeling so unhappy!!
Why not amuse yourself and do an experiment? For the jobs that are wanting pictures? Send in multiple applications. With different pictures. Just change the fonts on your CV around.
Send in a good looking male photo and only use your first initial. Send in a "good looking" female photo and maybe put in a common nickname for your first name? Like if your name was Katherine you could put in Kate. And send in your real one.
Then if you get a call you'll know if they were calling K. Name, Kate Name, or Katherine Name, and you'll know which picture they responded to!
Of course... you can't send the three applications within the same hour. Then they'd notice.
