it is one of the defining characteristics.....but does that necessarily mean one is a psychopath just because one is anti social?

No it is just an anti social trait.
My dad was a anti social, depressive person. He was not a psycho but a loving and caring hard working family man that did not allow strangers (to him) into his life. He would not go to partys, even my wedding! My Mom was just the opposite she loved people!
He did have bouts of depression but I think raising 11 kids on his salary would have been depressing to anyone.
He did a great job with us though.

Not necessarily, but anti-social personality disorder could be at the thresh-hold of psychopath. Being anti-social is described below in more detail.
failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful
behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest

impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
reckless disregard for safety of self or others
consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations
lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

You look less than the impact that stress and rigidity appropriate complications are in a roundabout way appropriate to or may reason psychopathy. that's amazingly incorrect. Psychopaths are in all probability to have extreme personality complications and chop up personalities. yet that's amazingly diverse to borderline personality complications bobbing up from trauma, rigidity or stress. stress and panic attacks are a style of melancholy and require treatment, frequently by skill of a mixture of drugs and counseling. presented the stress isn't allowed to augment too some distance, many complications might want to correctly be extremely truthfully dealt with and victims commonly grow to be their personal healers. A psychopath is something thoroughly diverse and every person who links both circumstances has no theory about depressive diseases. good luck with getting your self looked after out, as you'll in time.

Probably not. They are psociopaths.
