It's really hard, but if you practice infront of a mirror, it will get easier.
As far as finding moreinteresting things to say, you should read the newspaper, magasines and watch the news more often, then when something similar comes up in conversations, you can bring that up. Don't worry about being interesting too much though, because it depends who you are talking too.
Awkward conversations pop up a lot, so if you know that you are going to talk to someone, who you don't know too well, then you should think of ten conversation pieces that might go over well.
Those a just a few things that you can do, also, if its a confidence problem, taking drama or other acting classes, may help you to open up. I know it helped me. Well good luck, hope i helped.
Love,
