Do you consider yourself anti-social?

My natural inclination is to be anti-social but I can easily socialise if I have to.

Center self, inner self
I'm more of a recluse than I am antisocial. I'm also very self-conscious, which causes me to be pretty awkward sometimes.
For the most part I'm just always alone. It's been like that for my whole life pretty much.

Other than my friends and family I don't go out of my way to meet and/or interact with people. I consider myself a loner and a recluse. I just have a real short fuse and I have a low tolerance for certain behaviors from certain types of people. Never had a serious girlfriend either.

Maybe it comes from the fact that coming up...While everyone had their support system and their peer group that they could relate to...I've had no one.

Even going back to grade school to my adult years...I remember when we'd have group/partner projects I would always be alone most of the time. I eventually just started to...hate people. So to speak. I've never really meshed with too many folks...been kind of on the fringe and an outcast...

I had to shake some of the bad habits associated with it cause I realized that coupled with my depression made for a bad combination. I just lost a lot of trust in people from my college years. Which is why I don't fukk with too many heads now.
damn, nikka :mjcry:
People being loners miss out on a lot of things they would have gotten if they actually opened up, I won't elaborate, think and reason for yourself.
Agree a lot. Sad thing is people who are loners like I am try to open up and end up having recurring bad experiences that cause them to shut down again. It becomes a never-ending circle. I know that for me part of it too are the unrealistic expectations I have about people and situations.

Live your own life
Social interaction is an essential life skills to build a network of people of your choice, base on common interest. There is a great value in building relationship with certain people to get far in your career, molding a safe community, or establish a successful business. You could be sociable without integrating associates into your personal life. That's kind of individual I am. I maybe friendly to my neighbors, kind to my co-workers, and respectable to others, but I'm not inclusive. I have many associates, and a few friends. My siblings are my best friends and a few childhood friends. I prefer to keep it that way. Life is peaceful when you don't have to deal with many friends; that's why I cut my friend list short.

I can be the friendliest person if I know you. Even if I don't I still am but I'm not gonna make the effort to. Most people I've met have been thru work or thru friends. I don't go around making random small talk or making new friends. I've had issues before where I've lost contact with certain friends for long periods of time or had friends that weren't as trustworthy as I need them to be. That's why these days I minimize my interactions with them and just hang out with one friend mostly.

Anti-social or asocial?

:usure:

Asocial refers to indifference to or a separation from society. An asocial person is able to socialize well if they choose to, but doesn't do so often simply out of lack of interest. It's common for introverts to be asocial.

Antisocial is asociality to the extreme and is related to mental and personality disorders. An antisocial person lacks empathy or regard for the concerns or safety of others, and may actually be hostile towards society.
:patrice:

I feel like I possess traits from both of these descriptions

Yes. I spend a lot of my time alone and don't really enjoy socializing unless I know you very well and that takes a while to happen.
