I don't care about small talk, but I engage in it as a social custom.

And I don't try to pretend I'm superior to others for not caring about it.

Yeh, I believe this is the right approach. It makes sense that it's important to people to have some rituals around interaction and bonding even if they don't mean anything to me personally and even if they don't have any deeper or fundamental meaning.

I think it would be nice if society were more forgiving of people who struggle with it though, it can lead to a lot of bitterness and resentment.
