Why do people chose to be antisocial if it's bad for your health?

A lot of antisocial people don't just wake up in the morning and say, "I'm going to be antisocial today."

A person can be antisocial for a variety of reasons, not all of which are by choice. It can be a mental disorder, or a result of depression, for example.

Those that do choose to be antisocial, for whatever reason, may just be temporary, and if so, trying to convince them not to be may end up backfiring.

A lot of stuff like that is a result of how we grow up. It could also be force of habit. Sometimes it's a result of who you'd be spending that time with; that you just kinda don't feel like spending time with that particular person.

And the other thing to; many times people don't have any reason at all for doing what they do. They're just acting like assholes and aren't even thinking about it.

Stress is also bad for one health. And if being social causes me stress then it's about the same no?

You get stressed out socializing with everyone?

[Kaneki05]

Yes very. Humans are stressful to deal with so the option not to do so if possible is ideal.

Not everyone chooses it. And all I mean by that is there are a lot of users in the world. My circle is small, but trusted. I don't consider myself antisocial. Just a creature of habit. I'm still typically game for whatever.

Sociopaths mostly became so through repeated physical or sexual abuse in childhood.

Its not bad for your health if you don't enjoy being social. Not everyone is the same.

You're a human. Isolation leads to depression.

For the same reason they make poor diet choices, smoke, drink, take pharmaceuticals and get tattoos

Sometimes it's a roll of the dice.
