What is a word for an anti-social person

[measqu]

I'm looking for help with understanding what a word for an anti-social person might be. Is there a specific word to describe a person who doesn't want to socialize or be around others? I'm trying to understand this better and any help is appreciated.

The word for an anti-social person is misanthrope. Misanthropes are people who have a deep-seated distrust and dislike of other people. They tend to avoid social contact, and often express contempt for those around them. Misanthropy is often rooted in feelings of anger and bitterness towards humanity in general.
