I want to talk to my friends, but I'm not good at conversations. Like I'm scared to text first and I don't want them to force to talk to me. And I also don't know what to talk about either.
I want to try to be more talkative, both in social media and irl, so maybe it would help me a little at least. I don't know. Like, leaving comments. I don't know.

Well, I would think if they're your friends, messaging them first (or just messaging them in general) shouldn't feel forced. Try to think of it from their perspective, if you're too scared to reach out first and they find themselves often reaching out to you to initiate conversation, they might think you're not as interested in keeping the friendship alive. If you find yourself drawing a blank as to what to talk about, just ask them about something you know they like, and start asking more questions about whatever they say regarding those interests; if you don't know much about their interests or them in general, ask them about what they like or where they come from and just ask questions about whatever they tell you.
Example:
"Hey man, did you hear that (music artist they like) is playing a show with (other person maybe you like) nearby on (whatever date)?"
"Dude that's lit, I love (music artist), I think that they're the best artist in (genre), how much are tickets?"
"I'm not entirely sure how much tickets are, did you know that (artist you like) also plays music in that (genre)? Have you heard of them?"
And then just keep talking.
That's pretty helpful. Thank you so much.
