Answer 1 :
The fact that you are a trainee accountant means you are smart and a go getter. I think if for now, when you talk with co-workers look them in the face but at their chin. Do this until you become better acquainted with them. Remember that they all started where you are right now and they understand how nervous you are. As soon as you feel comfortable with these new people you look each one in the eye when you speak with them. Grown ups love that. Relax as best you can give this some time and be proud of yourself.
Answer 2 :
Go on web for Jack Black (not the actor) he writes books on this sort of thing.I think he's very good. Good luck.
Answer 3 :
try doing activities you like outside your work, being good at something increases self-esteem, and meeting new people can help you socialise better, express yourself in some way you like, and you can always take a walk to the library and search for a psychology book that explains better your problem, it's what I usually do... Sometimes it's helpful because you get to know yourself better and understand why you behave like you do! Bye! Good luck!
