Default How to talk

This is going to be an odd post and I wouldn't be asking if I could find ANYTHING about it online. How do you talk to people?? I am just socially retarded or something. I can't start a conversation, nor can I keep one going with people. I'm talking about strangers, friends, my husband, my daughter... how do you talk to people?? What do you say, how do you keep the conversatoin going, etc.

I really want to have a great relationship with my daughter and husband, but I just don't know what to say to her (she's 11 and high time I have deep conversations with her, but we sit at the table as I stumble for things to say and they never go beyond one word answers!), and he and I don't talk much, either (we've been married almost 9 years and together for 13). I have problems with my friends b/c I'm apparently a wonderful listener, but don't ever offer up any conversation.

If anyone can offer up some excellent DETAILED tips on talking, I'd sure appreciate it!!!
