I definitely relate to your aversion of small talk. A side effect of chronic illness is the inability to tolerate trivial problems, which I suspect makes me rather incorrigible in some respects. I've still been avoiding in-person contact for the time being due to personal and family health concerns. The last time I saw another human being outside my immediate family or hospitals was January 8th, 2020.

I hope you find some much-deserved relief soon!! Some might see you as incorrigible in some regards, but I just see it as being intellectually honest.
