Here's what you can start to do. Everywhere you go smile and say hello to everyone especially the ladies. " hi how are you" Next when at the mall, store, grocery store address the clerks by name. "Hi Rachel, how are you today" then listen and respond. People love to talk about themselves. Just ask questions. I highly recommend How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie.
After awhile you'll be able to strike up a convo with anyone.
