"Antisocial behavior" You are describing teens being social. You dont get to define what antisocial means.

Well, you do to some extent, and having people define what antisocial is for them is how teens learn to be prosocial (inshallah).

Not a Karen -- it's about striking a balance.

"Anti-social" has multiple definitions.

The other poster was using it to mean the opposite of pro-social, i.e. behavior that is bad for society (like roughhousing in a shared space meant for shopping). This definition is frequently used in the UK and Ireland thanks to Anti-social Behavior Orders.

You are using it to mean being averse to socializing.
