How to stop being quiet?

I'm not shy, exactly. Shy makes me thing unconfident, I'm very confident in myself. I just don't talk a lot. I'm worried about talking, keeping conversations going, etc. Any ideas on fixing this?

I feel like saying stuff like, "so, what do you like to do?" is so cliche. I don't know. I just think people over look who I am because I'm scared about keeping the conversation going.

Ideas, helps, links, whatever would be wonderful:)

    Just say whatever comes to mind. Try to find a confort zone with the people around you and just find what intrests them and talk about that. Even if you dont like the topic there are always cool things you can learn from that person

    it helps to have a conversation starter on you at the time, so that the person you are taking to will turn their attention to it during an akward silence in a conversation (like a piece of jewlery with a story behind it, or a book you're reading ext). and if you don't have a conversation starter on you, try find one on them :)
