How do I make friends?

[Jesse]

Hello, yes. I am Jesse, age 16. My hobbies include, watching anime, reading manga, playing games, writing, and all forms of discovering and listening music. But I am no slob, although my hobbies typically follow slothfulness for not all, but alot of people. I go to the gym with my gamer father regularly. I find myself, I suppose moderately attractive, I mean I like the way I look, i'd also say i'm confident (enough). I was not raised on naive thinking, I know life can really suck at times. But my question is how do I make friends? I am home schooled, so the typical way normal kids get friends is closed to me. I have friends I mean, I have Charles whom I met when I was 3. But 1 person cant fulfill the needs of another just himself. He cant always be there, especially since he has friends of his own. I am clingy, and obsessive, if I do have a girlfriend I want her to be clingy to, I mean texts count as attention, but thats what I want, attention. I know in the stereotypical relationship you'll get attention, but im just saying. I am codependant, from my mother, I need others. My only brother age 8 hates me for unknown reasons and my older sisters have moved out. My worst fear and phobia is being alone, and I get really lonely, and that leads to depression. My goal is to branch out, meet people, maybe find a girlfriend. I'm not awkward. I have a facebook, and unlimited texting. But how can you find friends on facebook if the way to find friends on facebook is "People you may know", via the friends they supposedly expect you to have. Same with texting. I want people near me, I want to hangout, and do stuff, I want a girlfriend. And Im not afraid to go out there and get it, help me out internet. I'm lost and i'll do what need be, if I only knew where to start and what to do once there. Any and all answers, hints, and tips are appreciated. Thank you.
