I'm not sure if I'm antisocial or not... thing is, ppl never talk to me and I have no friends... is it because I'm antisocial ( I don't make an effort to talk to them; I don't continue conversations...etc.) or is it some kind of illness? Do I give off some weird unfriendly aura that keeps ppl away? However, I'm really talkative around my family. What's my problem?

You may be A-social, but NOT antisocial. Antisocial personality disorder is typically called the illness of serial killers. People who are antisocial care nothing for the feelings of others and hurt people without regard. They kill little animals because they are weaker than them. They set fires because they are facinated with destruction. They sign up for overseas tours in the army so they can go kill people like my biological father did in vietnam (3 tours and has the "trophies" to prove it).
You are shy, not antisocial.

You don't have a problem at all. You need to find out why you are talkative with your family and use the reason for that to be less shy and antisocial around your friends. Maybe you are not interested in what your friends are so you don't get on with them. I'm like that.

antisocial is not talking at all with people. you mentioned you don't continue conversations but talks a lot with family so you seem very shy so you need to talk with others more and learn how to talk with different people. don't give thought about what you say it gets better when you feel you can freely talk and be confident. if it turns out you don't have much to say to someone try another person.

First islam is not a race so in no way can any intolerance of islam be racist. Islam is a religion. Now people can eb intolerant or islamophobic but that is not racism. Second, there have been many fundamentalist muslims in Britain causing many issues, insisting on sharia law, overtaking the prisons. So clearly there is some justification to be concerned at least about fundamentalist islam. Also in that country the few moderate muslims are not speaking out. SO I do not think they are being intolerant, they are fighting for their lives,

This would depend on your reasons for "not continuing conversation". Maybe you feel you are not knowledgeable about the topic, maybe you feel intimidated by those around you. You may be very shy and timid. Then, it is possible you don't like the topic, or the people. If you are relaxed and talkative with your family, do they enjoy conversation with you?

We seem to be in the same boat. I have an aggressive look and demeanor. Even as a skinny guy, I tend to intimidate people for some reason.

Many people lack the skills it takes to makes friends. They just don't know how. When I was in school I had many people I knew but no friends. Make yourself approachable. Smile and be confident.

Sounds like you may just be on the shy side. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill, you will just make yourself feel bad!

Well, you are staying at home and typing questions into your computer.......I'm not feeling any aura, but then, I really don't know you. Get out there, people just need to get used to you and your personality.
