10 Things Antisocial People Do That You Probably Have The Wrong Idea About

Nothin' wrong with being alone.

1. We stay away from the pack, and socialise less.

Warner Bros.

Why you think we do this: Because we're just not good at socialising. We're awkward.

Why we actually do this: We actually enjoy people. Just not all people, and we're less likely to stick around for the shittier people.

2. We spend a lot of our time being quiet.

Why you think we do this: Probably because we're upset about something.

Why we actually do this: We're relaxed. We know we don't need to talk when we don't have anything to say.

3. We can't hold a conversation.

FOX

Why you think we do this: Poor social skills.

Why we actually do this: We're probably just bored. It's OK to be bored. You should try it.

4. We don't have any friends.

BBC

Why you think we do this: Because you don't think we have friends.

Why we actually do have friends: We have friends. Admittedly a lot of the time we aren't surrounded by a #squad. That doesn't mean we don't have a #squad. It's just a different #squad. A more separated #squad.

5. We spend a lot of time in our room, alone.

Comedy Channel

Why you think we do this: Because we’re sad? Because we hate you? I don’t know.

Why we actually do this: Because we like reading or chilling out every now and then.

6. We never come out to bars.

NBC

Why you think we do this: We can't be bothered.

Why we actually do this: OK, you're kinda right on this one. We're probably just not wearing pants.

7. We don't like drinking.

Why you think this: Because we never come out.

Why we actually do this: You're just wrong. Everyone likes drinking. Come on. But drinking with the right people beats drinking with the wrong people, and that's not a risk we're willing to take.

8. We're not great at greeting others / shaking hands.

Why you think this: Because we're awkward and the thought of touching another person sends harsh shivers down our spines.

Why we actually do this: Because shaking hands is weird? So is hugging someone you've never met before? Think about it.

9. We ignore calls and texts.

BRAVO

Why you think we do this: Because we don't often reply to attempts to get us out of the house, or hangout with your cousin.

Why we actually do this: Because it's 2015 and literally no one has time for voicemails. Wake up.

10. We're rude.

Why you think this: Because often times we won't be the most social or great at interaction. Sometimes our shyness can be overwhelming.

Why we're actually like this: Sometimes it is because we're shy, or misunderstood. But sometimes we are just being rude. Sorry.
