[quote=Anonymous]OP, I say this kindly (and I think this is overused on this site) but is it possible you are in the autism spectrum?  Your description of yourself makes it sound that way.  Either way, it may help you to research some of the tools that autistic adults use when dealing with interpersonal issues in the workplace.

It’s hard for us to tell whether your boss’s chit chat goes beyond what is normal—it may be that because you are so  introverted they are over compensating.   At any rate, I think there is probably a response where you can say “oh, that’s so cute (if about a dog cat or child)/ so cool (if about a hobby/trip) or so interesting (about something they read) and then transition over to work matters.  For example:

Boss — how are you doing?  I’m riding high because this weekend my toddler learned to jump off the furniture and deciddd to yell “to infinity and beyond” every single time.

You— That’s so cute!  I’m sure she is keeping you really busy.  If we can, I’d like to go over the finance figures for Thursday’s meeting to make sure I have those in the right format for what you want to achieve.  I can screen share if that’s helpful.”
