I have pretty much the same thing. You could try taking an acting or public speaking class (they help a lot), or maybe just have planned things to say (like did you hear it snowed in Malibu or some random thing like that), or just have responses for what people say, that pretty much work with everything.
Another thing to do is to try and slowly stop being so shy- maybe set a goal of saying something to a person you don't know a day, and then in several weeks when you're comfortable with that raise it to two people.
Or myabe try and put yourself in a situation with people you don't know and will never see again (a camp in another state, take some sort of activity), and then try and be a different person, because their opinion won't matter and stick with you.
hope this helps

You might need to build self-confidence. Or maybe you just don't know what to talk about? Try reading funny books (like Kinky Friedman) or watching funny talk shows like Conan, and get involved in something fun so you can work on both.

it takes alot of courage to not be shy anymore
i know how you feel, and im not just saying that.
i feel liek i might say somethign dumb and everyone will loo kat me like..wtf? right? yeah well. try this talk to a person, only one.
the usual shy people have troubles talking in groups
so if you get to know each and every other god then you can talk to all of them in one huge group :]
