Can confirm last I talked to my folks has been a couple weeks outside of an occasional text. We are on good terms, I’m just antisocial except my relationship with my wife. Going to surprise my dad in a month or two when I’ve completed my PPL and pick him up to take him on a flight.

Pedantic correction: you probably mean “asocial” instead of “antisocial”. Asocial is where you just don’t like to socialize. Antisocial is where you take measures to act against society.

An asocial person doesn’t want to go to a party. An antisocial person may want to shoot up a party.

So technically both, at least in person. I don’t have a fear of talking to people online, but actively avoid social activities/gatherings where I have to make small talk. Basically I’m Ron Swanson most of the time.

I don’t think you got the distinction.

Asocial = introverted

Antisocial = terrorist/serial killer/murderer

Thank you for clarifying, I am indeed asocial and not an antisocial danger to society.
