How to make people happy in conversation?

I am having trouble mixing around. People seem to be really unforgiving over mistakes that I have done months ago and complains about my work. I think it is due to my individualistic personality. Please advise me how to change this attitude or mine. I am very very lazy to open my mouth and to talk. I hate talking about other people’s work or life (gossiping), I have very specific hobbies, I dont voluntarily speak unless asked to, I hate to contribute any ideas unless asked to or unless something which I am very familliar. Basically I just love to do my own work, get things done, and life my own small life with occasional conversation with people i feel comfortable with.
