Personals. These matchmaking sites allow you to search for people in your area who match your interests.

Friend Issues

You can reduce loneliness by expanding your circle of friends. Dating Diversions does not currently offer friendship matching services, but you can find people near you who share your interests at MeetUp.com. And, especially in some areas, it can be hard for gay individuals to establish deep and meaningful friendships. Glimpse.com does friendship matches for gays and lesbians.

Dating Diversions is currently building a database of localized advice that may be of help to you. Most of it is currently geared toward daters, but it could be useful to friend-seekers as well. Common advice is to meet people at coffee shops, bars, and local events. Try new things. You won't meet new people if you keep doing what you've been doing.

Finally, if you want to make online friends, give 4thKingdom.com a look.

Family Issues

They say you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. Sometimes you simply get dealt an unlucky hand. Family issues are tough, and it would take another whole test to discover why you are having trouble with your family matters. If you can see a psychologist to work out these issues, it would probably be a big help.

In the future, Dating Diversions will be expanding our advice on how to deal with family issues. Please check back at a later time for advice in this area.

Shyness and Social Anxiety

Shyness can be quite a difficult obstacle to overcome, and many shy people simply feel doomed to a higher degree of loneliness than the rest of the population. Talk therapy and medication can yield incredible results, but there is a catch-22 involved: If you are shy, you're not likely to go and see someone to talk out your problem with. If you can build up the determination to do it, go for it.

There are self-help books for overcoming shyness and social anxiety, however, which may be a help to some people. You can order Triumph Over Shyness: Conquering Shyness & Social Anxiety in e-book form from eBooks.com at a reasonable price. Or try Amazon.com.. some good books are:

Location

Location issues are difficult to overcome, unless you're ready to pack up and move! Actually, the truth is you do not have to move to find people, unless you are in an extremely rural area. Some advice: spend more time in a nearby town or city. If you don't have a car, take public transportation. Visit an area nearby that you've never been to before. Try to find like-minded people in your area using a site like FriendFinder.com, or meet local people in certain interest groups at Meetup.com. . Odds are there are more people like you in your area, and you just haven't found them. They are sitting around just like you are, thinking what a boring town they live in, not realizing others are thinking the same thing. Try to get to know new people and you might find that your town isn't as lonely as you had first thought.

Insecurity and Self-Esteem

The LQ test revealed a degree of underlying self-esteem issues, which are likely having a negative impact on your life. The best advice to give you is to see a psychologist and get started on a program to improve your self-image. You can find psychologists in your area simply by opening up the yellowpages. They are professionals trained to get to the root of your insecurity issues and work on solving them.

If therapy isn't something you would consider right now, you could try one of the self-help books written by experts in the field. Spend some time in the Self Help section of your local book store. You'll be amazed at how much advice is out there. Or browse around at Amazon.com. Some great titles include:

If you're too impatient for ordering books, you could download an e-book like Boost Your Self-Esteem or other self help eBooks from eBooks.com.

None!

Congratulations, the LQ test did not identify any trouble areas for you. Your relationships are healthy, and you are likely a happier person as a result. Good for you! =)
