Step 1: Be honest about how nervous and awkward you are. It really busts up the pressure things will get a little easier.
Also there is an 80% chance that they are just as nervous and awkward.

It’s a skill like anything else. It comes easier to some, harder to others, and it can be improved over time through repeated effort and experience over time.
Small talk is a good low risk situation that can give you opportunity to practice.
Also, not living in the same place too long so you don’t build up a reputation of being awkward and oh god they know they all know I’m just a hairless chimp in a human suit why did I think this was a good idea oh shit oh fuck what do I say–
“I’m doing good, how about you?”
