Pick a hobby and master that hobby like it was the most important thing in your life!

Remember that #1 is you.

The single best way to improve your confidence is to learn not to take rejection, or failure personally.

If you can do this, you've got it cracked.

Read - a lot. Various things - book, magazines current events - I alway have a book waiting to be read and I find I gain more confidence the more I learn and it also boosts your conversation skills. (Mind you this is just one action out of many that needs to come together).

Agreed. Also:

1. You are the prize; you will decide if others are worthy of YOU.
2. It's your reality; everyone else just lives in it.

get out there and try, fail a few times, get better and then youll be good to go.

Force yourself into new situations and meet new people, even if it's tough. After a while, you will find that you can handle these situations and that will give you confidence. When I was younger, I could perform on stage in front of 2,000 people, but I used to hate going somewhere I didn't know anyone. I made myself move to England for grad school, where the closest person I knew was 400 miles away. After that, nothing scared me. If I can survive moving 6,000 miles from home at 21, I can do anything. I can walk into a crowded room of strangers and meet 10 people in 10 minutes now without breaking a sweat. It's about pushing yourself outside your comfort zone and realizing you can do a lot more than you think you can.

Get out and socialize. And be in a good mood without a chip on your shoulder when you do it. Personality is like a lot of other things. Use it or lose it.

Exercise, specifically weight lifting. Build confidence by putting yourself in new and/or uncomfortable socializing situations. Don't take rejection personally, everyone has their own favorite flavor. Also be sure you truly love yourself and believe in yourself...otherwise you won't get very far or people will see through it.
