Carneypwr2000 has a point - asking questions is the best way to keep the conversation, because people usually like talking about themselves, or about what is on their mind. Of course, the best way is if you are really interested in what they have to say, otherwise some of them my discover that you are just asking "pro forme", and that may offend them.
If you do not know what to say about many subject you should definitely try learning, reading, getting as much experience as you can. A shallow, uneducated person can not be a good conversationalist ever (not that I'm saying that you are like that).
Humor also makes a good connection between people, but that is not something you learn - either you have it or not.
As for the fear of other people looking at you, your self confidence need some practice. You can try looking directly into person's eyes when he/she is speaking... that way you will show that you are good at listening and in a while you will realize that looking directly at someone isn't such a terrifying thing.
