I'm a socially awkward person, and every time I'm in a conversation with people I don't know that well, I get really nervous and don't know what to say. Any ideas on how I can improve?

Practice, practice, practice. Talk to as many people as you can.

so am I but you have to open up to people no matter if they think your weird or not you may make friends

I'm exactly the same, Just be your genuine self and relax, the other person is probably just as nervous as you are, but not showing it!

I have that problem. At age 48 I found out it was called Aspergers Syndrome. My coping mechanism since I was a child was to simply accept that I would have no friends, avoid social situations and just get on with life. +5

By remembering that most people feel the same way. Some are just good at covering it up. Think about things you would feel comfortable being asked and ask them. Just never ask yes or no questions. You'll be stuck real easy. Also imagine you are speaking with Abers. When I get nervous I chatter a lot about nonsense and somehow people just think it charming. Go figure. LOL
