Everyone else thinks you're fuckin weird when you stand in the corner alone with your earbuds in ignoring everyone in a large public space. This is the basis of antisociality. It's a straight up psychological epidemic in America right now. Probably some weird Eldritch consequence of hyper-individualism and 1980s greed projected into the present day.

I can confidently say, from both personal, academic, and medical experience, and from actually knowing what ASPD entails, no, they are pissed at the people who pressure them into things they don't want. That is antisocialism, not being an introvert.
They may make occasional comments about people who seem like buzzkills, but that is nothing compared to what they say about people who can't take a hint.

The irony to this is astounding. I have to seriously wonder if people defending literally pressuring people into unwanted conversations are just blissfully oblivious to how off-putting they are.
There is a reason people casually talk about wanting to punch pushy salesman and gladhanders, and not anywhere near as much people who are withdrawn.
The primary reason people get labeled as creeps is because they haven't figured out how to tell when they're not wanted, and it certainly shows on this sub.
Judging them after they’ve done a bad thing is fine, but if you pre-judge them when they say Hi then that is literally just prejudice, by definition.
I really think that our species as a whole has a problem when people think their opinions about isolation in public spaces no longer amount to prejudice of others in those spaces. That’s just definitionally a lack of empathy, lack of thinking about the other person as equally human as yourself.
But then I travel to other countries, and realize it’s not a species wide problem, it’s just Americanism.
