Perhaps you are looking too close at the fire. The answer may lie in the effect of the fire and not directly in the fire itself.
For you, perhaps looking to find " What you're interested in" is an approach that is going no where. In which case, it may be better to look at what you do not like, in order to reveal what you do like.
I believe, if we like something, for example, this takes us down a specific road in life. Along that road are all the other things we will like, and the things we will not like. So looking at what i like, or looking at what I do not like, is really one and the same problem just a different approach to it.
I am sure if you were to start listing things you do not like. After a short period of time you would be able to begin to list the types of jobs you do not like because the posses the very skills that you listed as things you do not like. By removing those jobs & skills from the pool of choices you can now narrow down " What you do like / what you're good at."
Everything requires cetain skills in looking at what is required for a job you'll know wheather it is for you or not ...

do what you think your good at iff you cant find anything keep looking every one is good at sumthing

If you honestly don't know, save some money and go to a community college for the first two years. Get your gen ed's out of the way for a low price (they're easier there, too), and maybe something will strike your interest while you're there. Then, continue at a four year school, or take some time off until you find your niche.

have you tried acting? what about writing? psychology? health?

Take some personal measurement tests. There's a site called,
tickle.com where they can measure your various skills.

Most people who think they're going to end up to be a dancer or musican don't actually end up being one. It's a silly childhood dream as i like to call it. They're really just a hobby, can't really support your life.

I don't know what i will be doing when i graduate. But what i know is this, i will get into a university, see which subject makes money and not bores me, then i will take it and study for 4 years. There's a lot of options to choose from, they might not interest you, but i'm sure there are a few that makes money and doesn't go against your will.

Talent don't always make money, but making the right choice sure does. If you really like something, go for it, but keep in mind that you will likely not be successful as to making money and amassing fame.

I am sorry for my English (Germany).
Think over what you have privately for you for interests. Perhaps gives can you make this your job a little. Something does not only make sense to study because your friends do it or because it is just modern. Thinks it over and into rests well. It will accompany you for your whole life. If you are too insecure, something votes where you are flexible later and open to other things.

just do business you can always get a job in that or teaching or something
