No, not at all. People mistakenly assume that "antisocial" means "shy". That's wrong.
Antisocial means "against society" - in other words, an antisocial person is someone who doesn't care about people, or hurts them. Many antisocial people are criminals (though not all of them always are). Antisocials are people who have no conscience. It's a personality disorder.
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder - verydifferent.
The social behavior of a Ulysses butterfly is the same as all other butterflies. They are pretty much antisocial and would rather be left alone.
No. A gametic disorder is one that results from an absent or defective gene.

A few examples of a gametic disorder are cystic fibrosis and hemophilia.

A person is said to have a dual diagnosis when they suffer from both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. Dual diagnosis is incredibly common β at least half of people who have a substance use disorder will also develop a mental health disorder at some point in their lives and vice versa. Even though substance abuse and mental health go hand in hand, this does not mean that one causes the other. In fact, itβs often difficult to determine what came first β the substance abuse or the mental health disorder. Many people start abusing substances to deal with depression or anxiety without even realizing they are self-medicating.
A sociopath has little to no regard for rules or effect of their actions on others. An anti social person is someone who doesn't want to interact with people or go out, but the disease (Antisocial Personality Disorder) is the same thing as a sociopath. A person can exhibit antisocial behavior, delinquency as a juvenile, early sexual activity, criminal behavior and not have Antisocial Personality Disorder. In many cases, the person is 'acting out' or are simply emulating the behavior of those they associate with. The diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder applies only to individuals who have both the behavioral issues listed above (and others) as well as certain personality features such as arrogance, extreme sense of entitlement, lack of guilt, empathy, or remorse, a cocky or excessively self-assured attitude, and an inability to tolerate boredom.
Passive-aggressive is not the same as borderline personality disorder. One is a way of behaving and another is a personality disorder that would need observation.

In sharp contrast to Anti-Social Personality Disorder (sociopathy) is another personality disorder, termed Borderline Personality Disorder, in which the problem is the opposite of the problem of the sociopath: the sympathetic nervous system of person with BPD responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!Meanwhile, in the true sociopath/psychopath, the fight-or-flight reaction is very brief, extremely difficult to sustain even in an emergency, and does not touch certain organs as it ought to do; sociopaths are chronically "bored" because they are literally half-asleep most of the time. (Even though they tend to look awake and behave in an alert, intense manner.)Additionally, although individuals with Borderline Personality tend to use manipulation in various forms such as malingering, these are usually intended to gain the concern or sympathy of perceived caregivers. In persons with Antisocial Personality Disorder, deceit and manipulation are used to gain material gratification such as money, gifts, etc. Also, personality features specific to APD, such as an extreme sense of entitlement, egocentricity, narcissism, and exaggerated self-assurance are typically absent in persons with BPD.
