Is there any way to avoid awkwardness?
I'm a really quiet person because whenever I try to talk to someone it's really awkward because I can never think of anything to talk about and I never know what to say in response to other people. Because of this I'm silent for most of the day and people will try to talk to me which is also awkward because when I don't know what to say it seems like I don't want to talk to them and I'm trying to ignore them. This usually makes them push harder or just give up which is even worse for me. No matter what I do there are always several awkward moments every day. What can I do to avoid this?

No one knows what to say to strangers or in every situation. That's why we have pleasantries and greetings, etc. Practice talking to people. You need to talk to people to work and live your life to fullest. It's selfish to sit around, let people talk to you, and say nothing or give nothing in return.

Ask them questions and let others talk about themselves
That's more relaxing than you talk to them

Embrace the fact that you are going to die, destroy who you are and release the fear that cripples you.
