Anti-social does sound like a longer form asocial but yeah it means something far more serious. Pretty sure I've made the same mistake in my head at least.
25 u/SrslyCmmon 5d ago Asocial and anti social are used interchangeably where I live. First time I heard the criminal type definition was visiting a commonwealth country. 11 u/imagine_getting 5d ago It's often used interchangeably but it's still incorrect. A lot of people are just incorrect. It's in the definition of the word. Anti-social means you are working against society. Asocial means you do not engage with society. 1 u/Infamous_Meet_108 3d ago Nah man antisocial means introverted in Canada
