I have been thinking about joining the Boys & Girls Club stuff since it seems to be one of the few things that allows eighteen year olds to join. The other thing I have been thinking of is going to meet people at the library while events go on there, and last is trying to get back to FNM weekly so I can hang out with the friends I've made there again, but I doubt that it's enough to really even keep me from not feeling so shitty.

Those are a lot of helpful ideas to try! I think you should try giving them a chance; even if you don't make any friends, it's still wonderful to meet someone new and find something you both like to talk about. You could try going to places like the library, the Boys and Girls Club, and other places to try to meet new people and try to have some conversations with them. I think you'll have a better chance of having fun and enjoying talking to other people if you give these meetings a chance.

The thing is I feel worried most about asking my mom about the Boys and Girls Club because she may think I'm a bit too old for it. I haven't been able to find anything on my local Boys and Girl Club like videos or descriptions, etc. The other problem is cost and how my parents will both handle it, since my dad already forgets to pay for most of the things my brother, sister and I need that my mom had to get. It is only $10 a month I think, or for the school year. It didn't really clarify well on the site.

I'm lonely as well. It sucks.

If you are feeling lonely, just follow these three steps and dealing with it is easy (incoming bs)

First, become insane enough to be able to entertain yourself with anything in your immediate vicinity, but still be able to compose yourself when need be.
Next, repress all terrible memories unconsciously.
Third, become a heartless bastard.
Goh, indulge yourself with things that can't betray you, like your training. FFR finger exercises daily, go find an instrument to learn how to play to build self esteem and also to occupy your time, study constantly, or do your job [s] to perfection.
Roku, Ascend to what everyone secretly wishes they could be but could never achieve without a type of guidance (this post, for example)
Nee, be a strong independent woman who don't need no man.
Hachi (maybe?), ...
8, profit.

im lonely too..

Yo, don't keep telling howself how it won't work, just go do it. Nothing to lose means no excuse to not try.

Besides, good things come to those who get to work achieving them

Nothing much. Been here and there I suppose. Hopefully you're in a better state of mind than I am.

I'm too kind to be heartless ;-; I also practice Stepmania too much as it is and already play many instruments.

You might want to try volunteering at the Boys & Girls club, rather than just being a kid in there. I was volunteering when I was 15 there. You're able to participate in the activities a lot of the time while having the added benefit of getting volunteer hours under your belt, work experience, and volunteer hours always look good on a resume. Plus you meet connections, make friends with peers and older adults in the area, as you'll need some of those connections going into adulthood.

As far as interviews, like others have said, play the game. One of the tricks people used on me before I joined the military was "what are your weakest qualities?" You can take a strength and twist it to sound like a weakness: too honest, too kind, whatever. Not "oh hey well I'm a high school/borderline college student and idk what's going on"
