"I just can't think of anything to make and when I try to join one, I end up thinking, "nope, too hard for me." That's the problem there. Don't give up and just keep on trucking. Focus on solving problems and less on technologies. For any problem you tackle come up with SOME solution even if it takes 10 hours to run instead of a tenth of a second. What's always helped me is to learn enough about a given domain that I can attempt a solution and then I double back and learn how other people solved the same problem. For example, create a bit.ly clone, or a budgeting web app, or a way to track which books you've read and which you want to read.... etc. When you try to modify open source code screw whether or not anyone will take your commit, first just focus on a specific aspect of the software and learn to bend it to your will, even if that's just making it crash when you expect it to. :) You're doing great and you're well on your way!
