Then don't talk. Or say you're not up for chatting right now. Or any number of other things that you can try that will calm you down.
The objective here is NOT to be liked - it's to get yourself in tune with yourself. Who gives a fuck if you have friends/people like you/etc if you're not in tune with yourself? No one else brings you satisfaction; you find it inside and other people are attracted to you for it.
So remember the objective is to be in tune with yourself. If flatly stating, "Yeah, not sure what to say here!" awkwardly gets you feeling OK, then do that shit. Do whatever it is that will help you be OK with yourself. Other people don't matter yet.
You'll know you've gotten in tune with yourself when you start thinking of how you want to tell other people shit. Your mental conversation will start to shit away from self-judgement - "This is getting awkard!~" syndrome - to "What do I need/want right now?"
I think you'll find that by accepting yourself, figuring out what makes you satisfied, and then focusing on improving YOU.... will bring you friends/women/Jesus/whatever. It starts with you focusing on you and your needs. You put your oxygen mask on first, then you help others.
After that it's just practice talking with people. Which you will feel OK doing because if it doesn't work out, you can just go back to focusing on what you wanted in the first place, i.e.:
>I want a doughnut>Goes to doughnut place>See opportunity to talk to someone>Talk to someone>They hate you>Oh well I just wanted a fucking doughnut.
