<p>:ppppppppppppppp</p>
<p>Me 
Not entirely, but I really like time on my own and I never go to parties or that kind of thing</p>
<p>Antisocial means sociopathic, not introverted.</p>
<p>I’ve always heard it used to mean not liking social things, but I wikipediad it and learnt some new stuff :)</p>
<p><em>slowly moves seat away from harasNN and UKgirl</em></p>
<p>Well everyone means introverted, not sociopathic.</p>
<p>I am not sociopathic, promise…</p>
<p>Introvert, INTJ… I’m transferring schools so I haven’t done much other than school work and sports.</p>
<p>I just don’t know how to socialize with people</p>
<p>People I meet generally don’t have much in common with me (they love football and other sports) so we don’t talk about much</p>
<p>[Antisocial</a> personality disorder is defined on page 2.](<a href=“http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/Personality%20Disorders/DSM-IV%20and%20DSM-5%20Criteria%20for%20the%20Personality%20Disorders%205-1-12.pdf]Antisocial”>http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/Personality%20Disorders/DSM-IV%20and%20DSM-5%20Criteria%20for%20the%20Personality%20Disorders%205-1-12.pdf)</p>
<p>There are more descriptive terms for personalities and behaviors for which “antisocial” is a common misnomer:</p>
<p>Introversion: quickly feeling drained of mental stamina when socializing, and needing frequent peace and quiet</p>
<p>Shyness: reluctance to interact with people even when there is a reason to do so (e.g. glossophobia causing shyness to speak in front of people)</p>
<p>Nonconformism: doing what you want or what you think is right, regardless of the norm, but not necessarily in violation of individuals; immunity to groupthink</p>
<p>I don’t know the term for this: feeling a minimal desire for socialization or friendship, being content with independence and solitude when most people would feel lonely</p>
<p>All four of which apply to me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯</p>
<p>I’m an introvert, haha. Do you guys think this is a disadvantage in college admissions? Like, in an interview, you can’t be like, “I’m super outgoing, I love working with people”, but there is pressure to be extroverted in a way?</p>
<p>Although I’m a generally non-socializing person (wouldn’t call myself antisocial), I generally do well in interviews. </p>
<p>Just put on a smile, joke, and be polite and they’ll be none the wiser.</p>
<p>Introversion is often defined as preferring quiet or independence over speaking up and socialising. So “the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one’s own mental life”</p>
<p>Meander, I’m also an INTJ. :)</p>
<p>I don’t have much of a social life during the school year. No time. In the summer I see my friends more, but usually just hanging out with close friends. I’m not a big partier or anything. Sometimes I’d prefer to just sit at home and read a book than go out and do something.</p>
<p>I’m shy and introverted but I like public speaking. The best moments of my life have been spent with other people, and so have the worst moments. When I feel very comfortable with people I will be more outgoing than everyone else, but I don’t feel that way around most people.
I always get INTJ on the test, but I think that’s more self-fulfilling than anything else because I’d really love to be an eccentric introverted mad scientist genius so I subconsciously fill out the answers that way even though I’m not really like that.</p>
<p>I love public speaking, talking in class, presenting, being in the center of attention (sometimes), if I’m at a party (lol), I’m the life of it most of the time, dancing having fun, but on the weekends I feel like I never hang out with everyone or don’t want to or my friends don’t want to. I like to be asked and I’m too afraid sometimes to initiate conversation because I don’t want to bother people. I’m kind of paranoid because a lot of the time I feel like everyone hates me which goes along with the fact that I don’t want to hang out. I would like to sometimes, but no one ever asks me neither do the people I want to hang out with actually. I also like to relax and I can be lazy. So, I’m partially antisocial.</p>
<p>I went from extremely introverted in middle school to really extroverted in high school. I don’t know what happened.</p>
<p>@Awflapjackz: 1-3% of the population or something. 
</p>
<p>And to those worrying about being introverts, there’s a book called, “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking”, by Susan Cain, that highlights the awesome stuff introverts have done. Regarding college admissions, I believe it also focuses partially on an introvert in Harvard Business School. </p>
<p>I also hate the way admissions wants students to be outgoing. It just seems awkward to me.</p>
<p>I’m introverted. I love school, but hate everyone I go to school with. I once saw someone’s Vine of a birthday party and thought ‘why would you willingly choose to be around all those people?’</p>
<p>I have a summer program in a week in which I’m expected to be social.</p>
<p>My God how I’m dreading that</p>
