I have an introvert personality that makes me a boring person for most. I have a funny extrovert side that comes out in front of my close family and friends. But making new friends and relationships is where I fail because people judge me too early, they find me boring and don't initiate the friendship even if I do. Maybe I am doing something wrong, I am not very good with daily short conversations. I can initiate but fail to continue. What to do?

bro im kind of similar to you, like when in public i kinda become an introvert, and when there's less people around i become a extrovert, im also kind of good at making friends.
So i want you to start doing things that make u feel uncomfortable as an introvert, like talking to a random stranger, complimenting someone whom u dont even know. Also dont think of it like "im a very boring person, people dont talk to me", think of it like "Im actually a fun guy who takes a bit of time to get comfortable with people, i just havent met the right people yet"
to start a conversation: U first make that person laugh or smile -> ask them about there interests and try to talk about things they find interesting -> try to find common things between u and that person and slowly make them trust u and get comfortable with them -> then as u said ur 'fun extrovert' side will slowly come out.
hope this helped
