I like to do some of these things. But sometimes with others. But they dont include me. And dont come to play games when I call them.
Okay, but you are interested in some of them? It doesn't matter if people haven't responded to them in the past before. What are these things you like to do?
People like to talk about interests like the examples I gave, and go and do those things. Even if you have been unable to get others to do them with you before maybe you approached them in the wrong way, or maybe you talked to people who weren't actually interested.
For example, let's say you like video games, science, and reading.
So then maybe one day in your class, when you have the chance to talk to people, you can go up to someone who you don't normally see talking with anyone or think has any friends of their own.
Then you can ask what they like to do. If they tell you something you're interested in, for example "I like to play video games", ask what kind of games they like. Then maybe tell them what kind of games you like, or mention something you like about a game they played.
When the chance is right, maybe talk about how you wish some technology in a video game was real, or maybe talk about how you read a book that was in some way similar to that game. Make sure to give them plenty of time to say whatever is on their mind and just bring up questions when neither of you has anything else to say.
Basically just say whatever comes to your mind that might be kind of related to what you're currently talking about. If you both run out of things to say, just 'investigate'. Ask questions and find out more about the person.
It's hard to give you good examples when you won't even tell us what kinds of things you like to do, which is why I was asking.
If they are unresponsive but seem open to conversation, maybe ask them if they like games, science, or reading, or whatever your other interests may be. Try to find something you have in common and just try to get them to respond and open up. It could just be that they are shy or not sure how to socialize. Once you've got a shy person like this to open up to you, they can actually be really great friends. It just takes a little extra effort at the beginning and you don't want to scare them away. Just be friendly and try to notice if they are getting uncomfortable.
If they are unresponsive and don't seem to want to talk to you, just tell them something like "Well if you ever feel like talking about something just let me know." Maybe they were just in a bad mood and it opens up the opportunity to talk again if they ever change their mind.
Really, generally what you want to do with anyone is like McDamned suggested, you want to listen to them talk. People LOVE listeners. But in the gaps don't be afraid to mention something you're thinking about, too. And when one conversation is over ask more questions about themselves, like in McDamned's example. If you really can't think of anything else to follow the conversation, and the other people isn't talking either, feel free to start a new subject. Just ask them new questions or tell them something interesting you learned or saw lately, or if you feel you've left a good enough impression, then just tell them you need to get going and that you'd like to talk to them again sometime.
Don't keep pushing it if there really is nothing left to talk about. The time away will give you some time to think about the person and maybe you'll think up new questions or things to talk about with them from what you learned before.
And like I said, try to find someone who doesn't seem to have any friends of their own that you might not have even noticed before. You know, the people who often sit by themselves and stuff. These are the kind of people who are probably more open to a good conversation and would probably make a good friend. But if you can't find anyone like that, feel free to talk to anyone else who you might feel comfortable talking to. Just put yourself out there and try your best.
And I'm not sure if this needs to be said or not, but don't just go jumping into conversations with a group of people who are already talking. It is considered rude unless you are friends with most of them. Try to get 1 on 1 conversations, because that's how you get to know people and how you make friends.
Finally, if the person tells you their opinion about something and you don't really agree with it, don't insult them by telling them you don't like this or that, try to move the conversation in another direction.
For example:
You: So what do you like to do?
Them: I mostly like to play video games.
You: Oh yeah, me too. What kinds of games do you play?
Them: I really like Sports video games. (Assuming you really don't like Sports but you do like video games.)
You: I don't usually play those, but I really like Call of Duty. Do you ever play that?
In this example they bring up something you don't like, but within a subject you do like, so you politely change the direction of the conversation by bringing up a generally popular thing you like to see if maybe you can find something else in common. That way you don't offend them with something like "Oh, I really hate Sports games" which is a conversation killer.
Not every conversation will go well, but that's just life. If that's the case then just find someone else to talk to.
I think that's really all the advice I can give at this point, without knowing more about the things you actually like to do or want to talk about.

What do I think all day??
It can be anything. [...]
Ha, well some of that sounds a bit like me when I was younger.
I would suggest trying to focus your energy and thoughts more into one thing, though. Focus on something you really like, are interested in, and want to understand better. Having lots of wacky thoughts about stuff that will never happen, because it is either impossible or you just don't know how to make it, is fun but inevitably it's also pointless except for just spending time to yourself.
Focusing that energy somewhere will not only help you to discover your true interests and some new hobbies, but it will also give you a better understanding of those things so you'll have more to talk about with others. It will also probably make you a more focused person in general, which will help you with every area of your life.
Hope that helps!
