How do i talk to my peers?

Question

i'm a shy, quiet girl but once i start talking to someone i become outgoing and funny and stuff but its just not that many people know that side of me because im just so shy..i think i come off as a b&tch because ive been told plenty of times i give dirty looks..i dont think i do it but i guess i do..anyways school is starting very soon and i want to be more outgoing and talk to people more and i know i cant do it overnight but if i force myself to talk i will..i just dont really know what to talk about? i mean its not like im a new student ive been in school with these people for 2 years now..[im a junior] i know their names and they know mine. some of them have tried to talk to me but i just end it very quickly with my judgementals ways..im working on that...soo how do i start to talk to them?

give them a compliment..then they'll say thanks.. but what do i say after that to keep the conversation going??

i guess all im looking for is some conversation starters for people that i already know their names and who know mine.. thank you very much

oh and this is being posed in other categories too because i really need something..thank you

i find it easy to talk about movies, current events (olympics) and things u like. also ask them about themselves and what interests them

I can only answer this by saying you need to find yourself before you can find others. This is not a platitude - it really works. Please google a short piece called Desiderata. I think it will help you a lot just now.

With my very best wishes for now & your future. UK
