I hate starting conversations

When I see someone who I want to talk to or ask them something or just say hi. I can never think of a good way of starting the conversation, and everything I can think of sounds stupid, needy or pathetic (in my head at least).

My brain sort of freezes up and I just end up pretending not to have seen or noticed them at all to avoid any possible awkwardness. 

I feel there must be a better way of dealing with this problem, I have it with pretty much anyone I’m not particularly close to or talk to often.

THEN I worry that they’ll think I don’t like them, which goes along with the fact that I’m probably already worrying they don’t like me and I end up feeling like an idiot and a socially awkward loner.
