antisocials

Those shunning company

Antisocials are people who avoid or reject social interaction, or those who behave in ways harmful to others.

The word covers both the withdrawn loner type and the more clinical sense of someone lacking empathy or disregarding social norms: The antisocials kept to themselves at the party.

In psychology, it often refers specifically to those with antisocial personality disorder.
