I hear you buddy, growing a beard makes one very self conscious.
What you might try: compare a picture of yourself with the beard, and one without the beard, and ask yourself which 'you' do you prefer.
I don't know you, but when I look at your first pictures I see just a dude, not someone I would remember when I encountered him in real life. But when I look at you with your established beard and very prominent stache, I see a face I will remember, a unique face, a guy with something special.
