I have a fear of being boring

I am not really sure how to describe this issue but in social situations I’ll either wind up being entirely untalkative or according to other people boring.
When I do talk more freely the experience can be somewhat..  I'm weird.   At least once a month, I get told something like  "You always sound high even though you're not," or, "Nothing  you say ever has anything to do with the conversation," and this bothers me to no end.
I've tried balancing these issues out by attempting to be talkative while also editing out anything interesting  But the end result of this is that my reaction times to other people's remarks is highly depressed , and everything I have to say is useless. As I mentioned before, I don't  talk that much, so being boring on top of that is a deadly combo. I don't have that many friends to begin with, and all of this in combination- the quietness, the weirdness,  is putting me on dying completely alone .
I've never been really good at "hanging out". When I find myself in these situations, I end up sitting there mostly silent, thinking about how unnecessary it all is. I have to listen to the conversations I don’t want to listen  or I try to talk  my way into conversations that I have no interest in .
