Um what? What do you and the other posters think anti-social means? Is this something native english speakers are confused about?

>Anti-social behaviours are actions that harm or lack consideration for the well-being of others.

The confusion is that this is mostly a British usage. Americans don't typically use "antisocial" in this way.

In America I've seen anti-social used in the place of asocial:
