It sounds dumb, but I’ve found the whole fake it til you make it route to work quite well for me. I used to have a really hard time interacting with people, so I just pretended like I would see people around me doing or like in a movie. It felt really dumb and awkward, but it worked and no one could tell I had no idea what I was doing because they were usually to involved with their own ■■■■ to notice me anyways.

I find that most people like talking about themselves. So if are a bit stuck for what to say to someone you can ask them how they are or what they are up to and that can be an easy way of starting a conversation.
