In words, from the Merck Manual:
www.merckmanuals.com/.../antisocial-personality-disorder-aspd

Diagnosis of ASPD
>>> Clinical criteria (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition [DSM-5])

For a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder, patients must have

>> A persistent disregard for the rights of others
This disregard is shown by the presence of ≥ 3 of the following:

* Disregarding the law, indicated by repeatedly committing acts that are grounds for arrest
* Being deceitful, indicated by lying repeatedly, using aliases, or conning others for personal gain or pleasure
* Acting impulsively or not planning ahead
* Being easily provoked or aggressive, indicated by constantly getting into physical fights or assaulting others
* Recklessly disregarding their safety or the safety of others
* Consistently acting irresponsibly, indicated by quitting a job with no plans for another one or not paying bills
* Not feeling remorse, indicated by indifference to or rationalization of hurting or mistreating others

Also, patients must have evidence that a conduct disorder has been present before age 15 years. Antisocial personality disorder is diagnosed only in people ≥ 18 years.

I doubt you are "antisocial" in the clinical sense. So, whoever said that of you likely does not know what it truly means as evidenced by some of the other posts saying that you don't like to socialize.

Antisocial implies an active dislike of other people and being around them - someone who is antisocial will, in a sense, really not like other people.

[MementoMori777]

You are a person that avoids and doesn't like to socialize

U are not a social person or u try to avoid social situations at all cost
