Should really use the term asocial - antisocial probably isn’t what you are.

antisocial probably isn’t what you are.

Asocial or asociable are less subject to misunderstanding, but see #2 which definitely applies to me (I don't know about you or Rome2000):

an·ti·so·cial ˌan(t)ēˈsōSHəl,ˌan(t)īˈsōSHəl/

adjective: antisocial; adjective: anti-social

1. contrary to the laws and customs of society; devoid of or antagonistic to sociable instincts or practices. "a dangerous, unprincipled, antisocial type of man" synonyms: sociopathic, distasteful, disruptive, rebellious, misanthropic, asocial "worrisome antisocial behavior"

2. not sociable; not wanting the company of others. synonyms: unsociable, unfriendly, uncommunicative, reclusive, withdrawn, avoidant; informalstandoffish "I'm feeling a bit antisocial"

Although I would generally be "friendly" to people like FReepers (at least the socially conservative/ pro-life ones).
