I have trouble mingling and socializing?

[Duhait'sme]

im not really introverted or anything I just have trouble making small talk in situations like waiting for class to start, talking on facebook or standing in the lunch line. im often stuck with saying a few words followed by an awkward silence. im not shy im pretty comfortable i just dont know how to start and maintain conversations. i understand to start with whats up or how are you and then the other person responds with a few quick words and then vise versa. so what are some good ways to conversate? i really dont want people to think im awkward and shy cuz im honestly pretty outgoing

its just a stage my friend.. everyone takes there own periods to figure it out.
for instance me i was a loser and no one like me all through highschool.. but
once i graduated and a few months later almost every other day girls would
start just talkin to me.
just have faith
like what my old man said "good things will come in time, to good people".

i usually just don't i am not really shy i just don't like to talk for the sake of talking. unless i have something to say i generally keep my mouth shut.
