I'm the exact same way. Just try to interject something
every now and then. If you can say a joke it goes a long ways.
Try this one. "Did they ever get back together?" "Who?"
"Your butt cheeks"

Anti social people view others as a means to an end. They are incapable of having feelings toward others.

Many people are just not very gregarious, and prefer to socialize with only one or two others.

Shy people have heart palpitations when confronted with social situations.

Ask yourself these questions (and be honest):

1. What's been keeping me from talking to my friends even when I know most of them? (Find out the reasons that prevent you from talking to a big group of people)

2. Who is the person that I'd like to talk to? Why am I comfortable talking to this person? (Find out what encourages you to talk)

3. Am I familiar with the topics that my friends are talking about? (Check if you're embarass to make mistakes / afraid that you'll be out of the topic)

4. What are my friends interests? Am I into the same interest or am I bored listening to their topic of interest?

After you found out, the reason(s) that stop you from talking to others, and you know what motivates you to talk more (use this as a tool of encouragement), find a person that you feel comfortable with, just talk about whatever topic you are familiar with, or simply tell him/ her that you feel not sociable, and continue your conversation from there...

Start off with one or two friends, and gradually try to speak up to more people. Read more / find out your friends' interests, ask them for their opinions about anything.

It takes two to communicate, take the initiative to let others know what's in your mind, and they will react & tell you their opinions.
Hope this will help ... Good Luck!

Antisocial disorder is something way different then what you think it is.

You just seem to be shy, so am I. Just don't be so anxious to talk. Loosen up. Easier said then done, I know.

Practice makes perfect. Face your fears and keep putting yourself in situations where you have to be sociable. Look at meetup.com and find a group you want to join and make an effort.

You're just shy, it seems like... How old are you? Generally, the older you get, the more outgoing you become (if you start out shy as a kid/adolescent).
