You are indeed:
Also why argue about this, when you are completely wrong, a simple google of this word will help you.

yeah, so if I'm antisocial, I'm against being social, or against social norms. If I'm asocial, I'm not social. One refers to a choice, one refers to a feeling

Ok, so, if I tell people I want to be left alone, then tell them to fuck off if they disturb me, am I being asocial or antisocial? I would go antisocial

Never use references to education when you try to *convince* someone.
It's not gonna work.

http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/asocial.html That's just one example -it was one of the first things that popped up, if you actually went on Google and researched a bit we wouldn't be having this discussion right now. I had a neuropsychiatry in my school and I learned that difference from a book and you can't argue with me because I know I'm right. I even done an essay on "how social media contributes to raise of ASOCIALITY"

that is a blog...lol!!!!!
You are taking definitions from words from a random blog, what makes that person so special that they can define that word better than a dictionary.
I'm sticking with the REAL definition as per all the dictionary/thesaurus I can find.

This really is a case of you believing everything you read on the internet. She is incorrect, you are incorrect.
Incorrect and that is the end of that.

@Boardwalk "work" ? I'm making my point, I'm educated on this subject and when someone is not willing to do his research before commenting, of course I'm going to point it out. She came and commented on my post, of course I'm going to "defend" my opinion. The point of this post is to point out the commonly made mistake not to spread false information.

Antisocial person is likely to cause harm to others (aggressive, may even physically attack another individual) asocial person on the other hand just avoids interacting with others, private, introverted.
Originalme · 26-30, F
Yes they do. You should do more research on it. Try quora or googling what the difference between those two is. And be logical "anti" means against ''a'' means not (not social)

We Dutch call people asocial if they put their garbage everywhere, any time. I'd like to point out that the Netherlands are 200 times smaller than the US.

Oh really.. the word 'social' is on its own a corruption of the word 'common'. Your turn booksmurf! :P
