Keep to certain topics that are "safe" but you can still give your opinion on like sports, television, movies, etc. If you are still on the shy side about giving a response, ask people questions about themselves. People like to talk about themselves, so you just have to listen and not worry about giving a response so much. If they have children, ask about them or if they have pets ask how they are. Giving compliments is also a sure way to gain friends as well. Compliment someone on their presentation or report they gave at a meeting. Don't worry about expressing yourself- if you are quiet that is fine too. Just keep a smile on your face and appear friendly. Take care!

You need to practiced your communication skill. There's alot of books on the subject, the latest i've read was from larry king, but there's really a zillion of them. Basically, you can practiced in front of the mirror, or just read a book at loud.
