There's the basics of small talk right there. A few years back as a sophomore in High School, I would only talk to classmates/teachers if I had a "need" to. Needless to say, I always found excuses to not talk to them. For example, if I had a question about the homework, I was too shy to ask someone and would just rationalize it by saying "oh I can figure it out by myself later. I don't need to ask anyone."
My hesitance to speak up and engage in conversations left me dry of many opportunities to learn about others. Don't worry, many of us are shy in our own ways. There are very few people who are outgoing 100% of the time. A little shyness in a person never hurts.
