I've got an ice breaker for you. You should just say "hello". People love to talk about themselves. Ask people about their hobbies their interests. Smile at people and look them in the eye.

Starting conversations can be hard, but it's easier when you don't even think about it and you just do it. You could regret it later, or you couldn't. That's how I met my best friend! Just one random comment and we became best friends haha

I always thought I was the one who made things awkward- it turns out life is awkward! I have learned to embrace that awkward and roll with it. Feeling uncomfortable is a chance for us to make connections we never thought we could. Take the risk- say 'hello' even if it feels really cliche. Most people are more open than you think :)

Just think of them as 'people' don't overrate the whole situation and know your self worth and always keep in mind that you aren't any less than them. Be yourself as well.

You could tell to yourself its not a big deal, and if that person doesn't get you, maybe you are better off without. You can imagine you are talking to your best friend or one of your family member. I think you just have to not being hard on yourself. :)

Start by saying hello how you doin? and everything will come after that, its too easy to start a conversation with anyone but the fear inside make it looks difficult.

Just be less conscious of yourself, relax more, don't tense up or concentrate too much on what you're going to say next. Casual conversation should be something relaxed and easy like breathing in and out.
Recognize that you don't always have to say something, sometimes nodding and saying 'uh-huh' is enough. Forcing yourself to say something meaningful every time will seem forced, and people will tend to be more uncomfortable around you.
So be natural, relax more, and go with the flow; input when you feel like you really have something to say.
You can do it!

To me, a conversation is a two party affair -- each person is elaborating and adding to what the other has to say.

I would just walk up to someone and start a normal conversation of "hi, how are you doing today?"
