What does "antisocial" mean?
Antisocial is a term in psychology for people with antisocial personality disorders who have a pattern of disregard and violation for people.

Commonly mistaken with the term 'asocial' which generally pertains to people who are socially withdrawn. Antisocial people may have asocial tendencies, though the former is in a much greater degree, as the person can progress to criminal acts such as - theft, murder and others.
*** other people and dictionaries are putting not social-- or shy and withdrawn, most probably because of the prefix - 'anti', though widely acceptable in the general population (or mostly used- and interpreted that way), it might cause confusion- and sometimes distrust from people who knows the real difference. (I mean- if you refer to yourself as 'antisocial' you're basically portraying yourself as a dangerous person, well your preference really.)
