Even when I speak to someone I know, I spend minutes just wondering how to say hi! In fact, there was this girl who called me 2 weeks ago and I haven't called her since. Why do I always do this to myself?
HOW DO I CHANGE? In general, I have a hard time initially approaching people to speak. But once I speak with them, its not so hard

It sounds like you might be suffering from social anxiety. If it's impacting your daily life, you might want to think about seeing a psychologist. It's treatable.

You probably have an anxiety disorder. I have severe trouble talking to people on the phone. It's the fear of the unknown and not knowing what to expect. You think people might make fun of you. I have social anxiety disorder, there are other types of anxiety disorders.

the only one who can help you
is yourself.. practice and practice.. start by going to the mirror and get used to you.. then approach people in the street.. ask for the time or anything else.. and then go to night bars.. uh those places where they get you a mic to sing you know ? and then get all the laaaaaadies boy! :P
good luck

it seems that you have what is called social phobia,difficulty in initiating social interaction with people specially with opposite sex.
you may need a course in social skills training.
