> "antisocial" and "sociopathy" are roughly the same thing.
When you look them up in the DSM (the big book of psychological disorders), it will seem that way. However, you can be antisocial or possess sociopathic traits without having a disorder. In general dictionaries, ’antisocial’ is synonymous to ’unsociable’. That’s how it’s most often used and that’s how I meant it.
> Perhaps you're thinking of people who are non-social?
I had never heard of that word. After Duckducking it, it seems to me that no one uses it. If I were to use another word, I’d probably go for ’asocial’.
