If you have confidence in yourself, you'll boost your self-esteem. Believe in yourself (and in God) and have faith. I'm shy too. Just be yourself around others. For the workplace, make friends with your co-workers and be friendly with them. Make getting your work done a priority by the end of the day, and half done by lunch. You'll get praise by your co-workers by thanking you for helping them out and your hard work. Good luck.

Lots of ways. First thing to remember is that most people feel shy at some point or another - particularly around new people. In fact, some of the loudest poeple in new company are often just trying to cover up their own insecurity.
There's nothing wrong woh being a bit quiter when around new people - others will think of you as mysterious and interesting, particularly when they realise how engaging you are to get to know.
Of course, if you shyness makes you feel awkward or depressed, it's something you should adress. Small things like buying yourself new clothes can do the world for your confidence. If you feel intimidated by other poeple, take up a sport or martial art at a friendly club - it'll get you used to meeting people and help you feel more assertive.
Also, most poeple are too wrapped up in themselves to notice other peoples' shyness.
Last tip, always smile when you walk into a room. even if you feel a bit anxious. It'll make you feel a little bit more confident instantly and people will open up conversations with you because you look friendly and approachable.
Good luck.

the best way to gain confidence is to enroll yourself in a class that focuses more on what you're good at. example, if you're good in arts, you enroll yourself in art school. in that way, you'll meet people and associate with them. you can enroll in the gym or go wall climbing or whatever. just basically anywhere that you can associate people who has same interest as you have. if you are with people who have same interest as you have, it will be easy for you to start up a conversation and the rest will follow. after a while, you will find youself easy to associate with other people also..
i hope this helps..

i suggest focusing on the person, and just listening to what the person is saying during conversations. cos i reckon if i will concentrate on what the person's impression of me is, i will feel more conscious and uncomfortable, and it will show through my gestures. plus, if i just listen to what the person's saying, i get to know more about her and actually enjoy the conversation, and tell you what, if you listen and ask questions, people will feel confident disclosing stuff with you cos you seem interested, well, not that you're not, but ye get my drift ae? lol. and smile more too. =) almost every people will smile back at you if you smile at them (almost cos some are just so self-absorbed that they don't smile back. so if they don't smile back, don't worry, they have issues). smiling will make you feel good. peace.
