You are not socially awkward. You are 17 and don't have much experience of talking to people. So now you have no excuse to get better at talking to people just go for it. Ask people how their weekend was and if they did anything nice. And that is enough. And as you get more confident, listen to what they say and ask follow up questions for more detail.

Good luck!

I'm kinda similar but not really, I'm not socially awkward but I have social anxiety which is so bad that I can't even attend assemblies because I start having a panic attack. Trust me it gets better, just pretend like you don't have anxiety ik it's obviously easer said than done but that's all you gotta do. Once you do it, you'll get used to it and realise it was never that deep
