There's likely at least a small correlation between people who dislike small talk and being at least somewhat socially inept.

(This doesn't mean I'm saying everyone who dislikes small talk is socially inept. That's not how correlations work.)

I would say it is likely complex. One might also assume for similar simplistic reasons that small talk is primarily used by people who get insecure if someone else isn't constantly acknowledging their presence by talking with them about something.

Likely neither of those simplistic explanations do the full complexity of social dynamics justice.
