Volunteer at a nursing home/retirement community. Older folks tend to be a bit more talkative than most, especially when someone new is around. They'll want to know who you are and what you're all about. It's a great way to get experience talking to people, and you get to learn from some really amazing people. You also will inevitably end up talking to some who are just batshit-crazy, but that's ok too. I know you're probably trying to figure out how to talk to people your own age, but this will help you do that. People are people. It's about making a connection on a shared interest, and going with it.
