 		<description>&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.&amp;quot;
      &amp;#151;Sir Francis Bacon&lt;/i&gt;

People are mean. People are scary. People make us uncomfortable. So join us and let's be alone together.

You don't have to hate people or be neurotic to belong here; you just have to value your &amp;quot;alone time.&amp;quot;

For the pool, post pictures which depict or suggest aloneness, social anxiety, social phobias, solitude, or other images appropriate to people like us who are uncomfortable with groups, have social-phobias, and/or given a choice between going to a party or staying home would happily choose to stay home!

Now, let's ward off a common argument. Every now and then somebody comes in here trying to tell us that this group should be called &amp;quot;asocial&amp;quot; because &amp;quot;anti-social&amp;quot; means people who do destructive things against society and other people. This is incorrect. Let's clear up the confusion right away:

See &lt;a href=&quot;http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=antisocial&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and remember that dictionaries list multiple definitions in descending order, with the primary usage first.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;an·ti·so·cial&lt;/b&gt; adj.
&lt;i&gt;1. Shunning the society of others; not sociable.&lt;/i&gt;

2. Hostile to or disruptive of the established social order; marked by or engaging in behavior that violates accepted mores: gangs engaging in vandalism and other antisocial behavior.

3. Antagonistic toward or disrespectful of others; rude.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
This group exists for the first--and primary--definition of the term &amp;quot;antisocial,&amp;quot; but not for the second or third meanings.

And, similiar, the term &lt;a href=&quot;http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=asocial&quot;&gt;asocial&lt;/a&gt; also has alternate meanings, which include:
&lt;blockquote&gt;3. Unable or unwilling to conform to normal standards of social behavior; antisocial: “crime, riots, drug use and other asocial behavior” (Derek Shearer).

4. Inconsiderate of others; self-centered&lt;/blockquote&gt;
So, in short, if you suit the primary definition of either &amp;quot;antisocial&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;asocial,&amp;quot; you're welcomed here. If you more closely resemble the &lt;i&gt;alternate&lt;/i&gt; usages of those terms, you don't really belong here.

&lt;p&gt;I have a low tolerance for stupidity. I guess that makes me anti-social. I don't mind being alone. As long as I don't acquire 40 cats.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;That quote pretty much describes Aspergers Syndrome in a nutshell... I love having a few good friends but when other peoples' inane jibber-jabber overloads my brain - like 19 crap TV channels all on at once - then I could do with them eff-ing off so I can recouperate... Luckily I have a cosy little home office where I can escape to : )&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;1. When I would rather spend time with my pet bunny than people. :D&lt;br /&gt;
2. When I am completely hostile towards people I find attractive. :D&lt;br /&gt;
3. When I walk away from people in mid 'small-talk'. :D&lt;br /&gt;
4. When I daydream about parachuting without a parachute whilst at my dream job. Checkout chick.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
