As you have only been in your post for a short time, you may discover that someone is a little bit jealous - perhaps someone applied for your post and didn't get it, or you are better at your job, or someone was dismissed or left under a cloud who had your job before.  You're being frozen out because they can't rattle you, so don't let them.

My own reaction to "we want to talk about you" would be "oh dear ... you need to get out more; I'm a very boring subject" and say it with a big smile. 

If you continue being pleasant and ignoring the rudeness, you will irritate the hell out of them, which is good.  Some people, unfortunately, have no idea how to behave either in the office, socially or on the internet and I'm afraid I'm not in the mood for making allowances for those sorts of individuals.  One wonders what value they imagine they bring to their companies.
