Stuttering because I am not good at conversations?

Stuttering because I am not good at conversations? Whenever I tried talking to some of my friends, I stutter but I think this is because I suck at talking in general. I can't talk for a long period of time without stuttering, and I am so bad at starting conversations and small talks that I begin to stutter which leads me to feel anxious. I guess I don't know how to start a conversation and some people might find me socially awkward and uninteresting. But the reality is that I have many things to say but my stuttering keeps holding me back. And even if I do say what I want to say, sometimes I feel like my stuttering made the situation awkward or the person who's talking to me probably thinks I am weird or something. Can anyone relate to this? Being bad at starting conversations with friends? Any tips to improve myself?
