Antisocial is a term in psychology for people with antisocial personality disorders who have a pattern of disregard and violation for people. In order to be labeled antisocial, there is a set of indicators which can be seen on the DSM Versions, (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-- currently on the 5th version) a book containing mental disorders and their indicators. Commonly mistaken with the term 'asocial' which generally pertains to people who are socially withdrawn.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 *** other people and dictionaries are putting not social-- or shy and withdrawn, most probably because of the prefix - 'anti', though widely acceptable in the general population (or mostly used- and interpreted that way), it might cause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.) Urban Dictionary
