Their is some people I would like to be friends with but they all are just so much better than me. Like they all bring so much to the table and I have nothing. And I dont know how or what to do if they accept me as a friend. I havent had a friend in a long time i dont remember what to do.

@guff05

What kind of friends are you looking for?  The people you would like to be friends with - what do you like about them? Are they a close knit group that you would like to join, or is it more like one person here, one person there... 

I think it can be hard to decide to be friends with a particular person. But there are strategies for finding friends. Some people make friends by sharing a common interest like a sport, and some people become friends because one person is distressed or lonely and the other reaches out to help them.   Sometimes the most interesting people are the ones who are sitting alone, on the sidelines. 

I want to push back on the idea that you gave nothing to offer a friend. Kindness, empathy, and being a good listener are great things to bring to a friendship.

I think it's difficult to go from being a fan or follower to a friend of an artist or performer.  There's an imbalance there that is hard to overcome.

For online friendships, I think the most important thing is consistency.  One short post or comment every day, maybe with a funny video or meme, would help you connect.
