Socially Inept

I feel so socially inept sometimes. It's like when I'm around people, any little bit of social skills I might have once had completely disappear. It's rather disappointing, especially since I want to meet new people. Most of the problem is that I simply have no clue as to how to start or continue a conversation. I've read a large bit of self-help essays on the web about how to gain better social skills, and they haven't really helped me all that much. A part of me feels that it's due to the fear of not being taken seriously due to the way I talk, but I also think it may be because I shut myself off in middle school, when I decided to become a loner.

Anyone have any tips they'd like to share?
