I feel like this was me that just asked this question. I'm going throuth inner turmoil myself about this. I'm unhappy and i think about this and have this problem every single day. It haunts me and i can't have very good relationships because of it. I'm trying to find a way past this myself. You are not alone. I don't have the answer, (i want to wait and see the answers)....but please just know that other people are going through the same thing.
I constantly ask myself this question. I am a natural introvert, but I don't have a problem (especially one on one) talking to people about issues of the world or other random things. Unfortunately, when it comes to small talk I am just terrible. I mean, how many times can you comment on the weather in one conversation? I have tried to figure out what my problem is, and I really haven't come up with an answer. All that I can think of is that it is important for me to be who I am. I have tried to change myself and that has resulted in more unhappiness. I did find that when your talking to other people, ask them questions about themselves. That will get them talking and all you will have to do is listen (or at least pretend to listen). And who knows? Maybe you'll find something interesting to talk about.
Seriously though, get to know yourself. I found that once I am able to make myself happy, happiness with other people just comes naturally.
