Common Errors: asocial/antisocial

asocial/antisocial

Someone who doesn’t enjoy socializing at parties might be described as either “asocial” or “antisocial”; but “asocial” is too mild a term to describe someone who commits an antisocial act like planting a bomb. “Asocial” suggests indifference to or separation from society, whereas “antisocial” more often suggests active hostility toward society.
