 I was once a shy type too in class and quiet but when my teacher found out I have the potentials. She helped me build my confidence and involved me in school activities where I am good at.
Try to start from things that you have some common interests with them. This way you can interact with them and it will be a start too to share and exchange thoughts and ideas then it goes on and on.
Go out of your shell and explore always new things by involving social activities, reading self-help books, watching tv programs that has general information that will help you grow as an individual.

 I work with young people and the quiet ones i bring out of their shell by building their self esteem. Engaging in activities can do this and also with this can bring confidence. This in turn can give you something to talk about an interest and share with like minded others. I think you are trying to grasp something out of nowhere just to be able to talk and converse with people, but they will see through that, so try to talk about things you know about. Activities, clubs, hobbies, reading, watching films, etc plenty of stuff there.
