antisocial behavior
Harmful social actions
Antisocial behavior is conduct that disregards or violates the rights and well-being of others—lying, stealing, vandalism, aggression, or persistent rule-breaking.
In psychology, a pattern of such behavior may indicate antisocial personality disorder.
The term is sometimes loosely applied to mere unsociability or reclusiveness, though this waters down its meaning: The neighbors complained about his antisocial behavior after he keyed their cars.
