ASOCIAL people prefer solitude.

ANTISOCIAL people doesn't care about society, are harmful towards other people, break laws, etc.

If you’re trying to diagnose a personality disorder sure. If you’re just using it colloquially then no it doesn’t matter.

  • Of course it matters, using "antisocial" in this context is plain ignorant and wrong.

    • No, it’s completely correct.

      Dictionary definition #1 from dictionary.com for “antisocial”

      Furthermore, were you or the original pedant actually confused by what I meant? I seriously doubt it.
