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 “anti-social” more often suggests active hostility toward society.

So.  I am asocial.  I tend to avoid people unless I have to talk to them about something.  I tend to hold my arms in and try not to touch people in public places.  I avoid eye contact unless I'm 'scouting' for what's going on around me.

On the other hand, I'm also an easy talker, if I feel a subject is worthy.  If I feel a person needs someone to listen, I'll even spend a little time listening, but I can handle only so much.  If asking a few questions shows me that person is determined to wallow in a tiny world with tunnel vision and blinders, I may not listen very long.  If that person just wants to fume about other people in general, I may just walk away.  If that person can tell me something interesting and informative or is working through figuring out their life, I may stand there for ages asking questions and prompting more info.

I am a conflict.  I can easily say I don't like people, and just as easily say I enjoy watching them.  They amuse me.  I can study them as groups or interactive individuals and have a blast writing up an analysis on them.  I might even grow rather fond of certain people for some reason.  But I don't go out of my way to make friends with them.  For some reason, making friends with anyone spoils it for me.  Getting to know someone too well really turns me off.  I can be empathetic, and I can understand having bad days, but I really hate it when people suddenly start talking to me about their sex lives or their latest shopping trip or what they hate about the president.

You know how people in general like pets?  Pets don't talk.  I have a feeling we'd really dislike our pets if they could talk.  If your dog talked incessantly about hating cat poop even though it's never around or worried constantly about dog food having too many calories, you'd probably get tired of it real fast.

And that is what I 'hate' about people.  They get stuck on the dumbest things, like hating someone irrelevant, or calories, or something is so cute ~awwww~.  I'd rather listen to a lecture on socket wrenches.

If that makes me a freak, I'm fine with it.  I'm an asocial freak.
