I Am An Introvert

A relative says she's an ambivert, but she's more of an extrovert, to me. She is too talkative. She tries to talk to me with small talk or shallow conversations, and sometimes I try to put up with it, but I just end up tired and annoyed and explain that I need some time alone. She doesn't understand it, though. She thinks I'm just angry and up-tight. She even got me a drink with a natural sedative in it, today. I'm a calm and collected person. I just don't enjoy talking all the time, especially if it is a bunch of small-talk glued together. If I have to talk, it has to be a deep and meaningful conversation. This also isn't good because I have another relative who monotonously drones on about unimportant things or boring things I can't relate to, and he tries to call me every day. Sometimes when I don't pick up the phone, he'll call my phone three times in a row and text or e-mail me that he called but I didn't answer the phone. It's been two days since he's stopped calling me, so I've somewhat recovered from that, but I don't know what to do about the relative who got me the drink with a natural sedative in it.

My mom does the same thing to me. She'll call and call and when I answer its stuff like "omg so and so said this and that and can you believe what they're up to and omg I'm just such a good person'. I can imagine how bored and uninterested I sound despite my best efforts to engage in the meaningless gossip. I love her and want to connect but it's so difficult when we live in different states and she can't hold a meaningful conversation without running back to her shallow small talk.
I hate talking on the phone, it's the worst.
