magma's right -

anti-social is a very broad term that can range from someone who dislikes being around others to full-blown psychopaths like Alan Yates.

In order to qualify a character should display anti-social behaviors that are considered suitably immoral, such as:


 * bullying


 * lack of empathy


 * general disregard for others

I'm no psychologist so don't quote me but those three traits are what we mean when we say "anti-social" in terms of antagonists.

I often use the term "reclusive" for people who generally dislike social interactions and reserve "anti-social" for those who are disruptive or cruel.. that's just me however.
