I'm 29M and am struggling greatly with my flaws, but finally felt self worth enough to work on them. I have been in a bad place for most of my 20s but a couple months ago I began drastically changing and working on myself. Only recently I have felt self worth enough to feel comfortable approaching women and dating.

One of the biggest obstacles standing in my way is that I live at home with my grandparents. I have only ever lived on my own once when I got an apartment with my girlfriend at 21. I have so many problems and moving out is not something I'm ready to commit to yet.

Does anyone have any experience or anecdotes of someone in my position ever getting laid, or finding someone who could look beyond my problem temporarily? Or should I abandon all hope of intimacy until I finally do get a place of my own?

To tell the truth, I'm not going to abandon hope nor am I going to stop approaching women, if anything, I'll be able to have experiences if not some intimacy. I actually was able to sneak a girl in the house and bring her upstairs to spend the night last weekend but it wasn't about getting laid, she didn't have anywhere to go.
