I wish people would stop using "antisocial" to refer to someone who isn't social. The correct word is "Asocial". Antisocial is literally a personality disorder, an antisocial person is basically a sociopath.

Exactly
You can use it
Antisocial has a couple of meanings.
“Contrary to the laws and customs of society; devoid of or antagonistic to sociable instincts or practices.”
“Not sociable; not wanting the company of others.”
Antisocial personality disorder is a personality disorder. A mental health issue.
Asocial is the same as a person with antisocial personality disorder.
“Avoiding social interaction; inconsiderate of or hostile to others.”
An introvert is the correct term that I would rather be called. Not Asocial.

Never knew that, you taught me something new.
YES!
You were doing so good until you said sociopath. There is no such thing. That word is also been taboo and now describes multiple mental illnesses. Psychopath also isn't a thing. Same deal
Not true where did you learn that from?
