What Does It Mean When A Person Is Referred To As Having An Antisocial Behavior?

Does it happen to be associated with mentally ill people?

Answer:
Well there are two possible ways of looking at it.

As has been said, you could look at it as describing the behaviour of someone who is shy or not outgoing etc (introverted).

The the possibility is that they are anti social in that they are being aggressive or abusive to others, have no regard to other peoples property etc (and if clinically assessed they could be seen as having an anti-social personality disorder).

If a clinician is talking about someone having anti-social behaviour it will be this disregard to others, if its someone from the general population it will most likely be the shy/introverted person they are describing.
It is a classification of abnormal psychology. Some of the other main groups are Narcissistic, Sociopath, and Disassociative. Check the DSRM for complete definitions. Hope this helps.
Just means your shy (in most cases)

If you are psycho and go crazy on people when you may be mentally ill! :o)
Sometimes - is ha to do with not really wanting to interact with other people, and in some cases, doing things that are designed to keep people from interacting with you.

Things such as refusing to answer the door or telephone, not having any friends or close family members (and not wanting to have anyone close to you), feeling that others are conspiring against you/judging you, making a habit of being under the influence of controlled substances, etc., are all examples of being antisocial.
i dont think so i think it is a dissaorder.
Refereed to in this context and without more info it more than likely means they don't do well interacting with others. The person is shy, introverted and prefers to spend most of their time alone. Outside of a clinical or psychological setting it's usually nothing more.
Antisocial Personality Disorder or ASPD for short is a set of behaviors often associated with criminal behavior. Having no regard for the property of others (what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine), disregard for laws, norms. Will take advantage of others viewed as weak. Incredibly self-centered, over-inflated sense of self worth. You see this behavior in addicts as well.
well that means those people arent the ones that go up to people and say "HI, how are you doing". its not mentally ill, its like i dont feel like talking to you. do you have a problem, well its your problem.
