Ok, first you'll need to get over awkward conversations. Practice starting conversations with total strangers, like on the bus. You'll never see them again so it doesn't matter if you fuck up. Hell, you can even open with "Excuse me, wierd question: if you wanted to start a conversation with a total stranger, how would YOU do it?" so don't tell me you don't know what to say. Just say what's on your mind. (insert obvious snickering here.)
If you can't find anything to talk about then it means you're boring. develop some more interests. Draw. Take a class in something. You know how girls tease by being unavailable? You can do the same by being busy becoming well-rounded.
next... it's easiest to explain how i did it: I used to chat online all the time and I realized after a while the personality I had online was more interesting than in real life, so I started using that online personality everywhere. Never regretted it.
lastly, remember that life is just a ride and what you make it. If you want to die old and quiet, having done nothing... well, I guess that's your choice. I broke my leg in three places in a skydiving accident, have a sweet new tattoo, and enough interesting scars that their stories alone can fill an evening's conversation.
lastly, if you don't want to try so hard... then stop! be who you want to be. if it means getting a new set of friends, so be it. You'll survive and be happier for it.
