Like Daniel says, not everyone else is that confident either, as it may look to you. I've noticed this especially with some cliques, that people can be quite timid, when their regular "partners in crime" aren't present.
Also, there often are better conversation starters around, but you have to give them a chance by being available for talking. Don't rush off too soon.
Yes, the gossip is deadly. I admit to being nosey enough to listen people telling me "news" of others. I admire some people, who can actually talk about their own business and they listen to mine. I think I should be more stern not letting the gossiping continue, but it's often a persistent way of communicating in some environments.
