People are very chatty where I live and so am I. But I understand that if person is a bit shy then engaging in conversations with strangers is a struggle. It is not that easy for everyone.
Maybe make a plan of having one conversation with a stranger a day. Have a journal where you can record it. Say today you are going grocery shopping so you'll ask another customer in line about something in their shopping cart ( like if you wonder if that's a good item and you were thinking of buying it).
Tomorrow you'll ask a neighbor if they like their new car because you think you want the same kind? And so on. Start with small manageable goal

I think people here are chatty, too. It is more about me, probably. In the last week I've tried to challenge myself to go to a coffee shop and order something and set there reading a book around people. For me, this is better than initiating a talk with a stranger. I am not there yet. I get nervous easily and become socially awkward, which makes me feel bad.
