ASOCIALITY v Asocial behaviour is seen in people lacking confidence while meeting new people or being anxious of rejection. v They avoid social meetings to such a great extent because they do not want to give people a chance to accept or reject them. v They will generally prefer doing things all alone rather than making new friends or relations. v It becomes a burden for them to handle any sort of relationships. They will have very few friends or no close friends at all. v Due to such behaviour they are criticized and looked upon as subnormal individuals. Also, they tend to do constructive things than be anxious in social gatherings.

HOW TO OVERCOME SOCIAL ANXIETY v Treatment for antisocial people will be psychotherapy, counseling and drugs if required. Antisocial people have a low threshold for stress and so get frustrated very easily and are impulsive in nature. These people are explained about society norms and how they are expected to behave. They are taught better ways to keep themselves occupied as a way to reduce thefts. They are positively taught ways of being independent and handling stress better. Drugs do not help directly but treat co-morbid conditions like depression etc. Asocial people are taught communication skills which boost their confidence levels during social gatherings. Also, once they efficiently start expressing their emotions, people reciprocate appropriately setting forth a chain of positive future social interactions. This will reduce anxiety levels and encourage them to meet more people.
