Is it possible that this kind of people make me uncomfortable even if I do like them? How can I just relax and have fun when I'm with them?

Why do you need others to perceive you as exciting? I think you put too much pressure on yourself to be exciting. As a consequence, you become self-conscious of your behavior, which causes anxiety, which causes you to freeze up, which causes you to think you're being boring, and so on...
The trick is to be comfortable in silence. You don't have to be exciting and energetic all the time.
