Why are those of us that crave/need alone time to recharge made to feel like outcasts. We live rich inner lives and find mindless smalltalk cringe worthy, why is this bad? Anybody?

Personally I made myself an outcast by not talking to people.
And, yeah, avoiding smalltalk. God that shit sucks. I'd far more prefer we use meaningless babbling to replace it, as at least that's more entertaining.

Yeah, I pretty much fake it but inside I'm screaming for someone to save me. Earlier in the spring I was in the doctors office waiting room and these two mouth breathers were taking about when the leaves on the trees were going to sprout. Of course they couldn't mind their own damn business they had to ask ME when I thought the fucking leaves were going to sprout. I was in the middle of the best daydream about a character/story to work on when they interrupted me. So ooo pissed was I, I just stared at them and said "who cares, it's spring, they'll sprout when they feel like it."

Disgusting.
I try to focus more on what others are doing than what I'm doing. Makes me more outwardly observant and, as a result, it can be easier to find things to talk about. Might help

Oh yes, definitely. Same here. I mean when I want to talk to people and I have to start the conversation.
Then I have to use small talk, and it's kind of okay. But... sigh. I can't start a conversation, for the life of me.

Try punching them in the face, that always starts a good convo.

That draws attention and makes a scene
Have you forgotten the unbreakable introverted rule
Never cause a scene.
If you're choking...

Better than my attempts. I open my mouth to speak... and then promptly close it because no sound escapes. I spend so much time thinking of something to talk about and then the moment I get the opportunity I start rethinking the entire plan. T_T

My typical conversation goes as such.
*two friends talking*
"Hi, *says something about something relevant to the conversation"
*they reply, then go back to talking*
Yeah that's why I'm alone. I take ages to work up the courage to sya something and it never even matters xP

I've been in that situation kind of. I could have been on the other end of it.
I would have thought I was being polite and taking their opinion/statement into consideration. Then go back to talking with the other guy.
I would have thought that by that point you were in to that conversation and if you had anything else to say you would pipe up. By standing there and being silent I would have taken it that you had nothing else to say, so I would have continued to talk.
And also yes I have been on the same end as you are ;-; #relatable

give 'em hell, kid.
humans are horrible and i'd be completely content if no one ever made small talk with me again... not that i participate in it anyway.
unfortunately looking different and having an alternative style really seems to attract the 'friendly' strangers. i've gotten to the point where i've basically pre-programmed responses for the inevitable questions that my existence causes.
yes, the piercings are real. yes, my hair is real. yes, i can see even though my bangs cover my eyes. yes, i dyed it myself. no, you cannot touch it.
repeat x100 like i did today at school (first day, yay... not)
extroverts are a plague and must be destroyed!

That sucks.
Been an introvert my whole life, but I've never felt like an outcast. Just a regular guy who doesn't say much. People have been pretty cool about it so far, aside from a few grade school teachers.

I really wish I was spontaneous, but I have a habit of overthinking things.
In games and stuff it lets me strategise ans I'm typically pretty good at things like that, but when talking to people.. I basically don't ever know what to say.
