They could be considered "anti-social" or "introverted." I also sometimes say that a person is "socially awkward."

What you are describing is an introvert. That is someone who prefers his or her own company. Often, introverts are quite shy.
Anti-social isn't quite the same thing. That is someone who doesn't like other people. That isn't quite the same as keeping to yourself. Usually the person who is anti-social has had a bad experience, either with an individual or a group of individuals, and that is the way he reacts to that experience. But the true introvert may simply not enjoy the company of other people, sometimes because they don't have much in common with the other people, or because they are so intent on their own interests.

The trait of Extraversion-Introversion is a central dimension of human personality. Extraverts (sometimes called "extroverts") are gregarious, assertive, and generally seek out excitement. Introverts, in contrast, are more reserved, less outgoing, and less sociable. They are not necessarily asocial, but they tend to have smaller circles of friends, and are less likely to thrive on making new social contacts.

The terms introversion and extraversion were popularized by Carl Jung. Virtually all comprehensive models of personality include the trait. Examples include Eysenck's three factor model, the Big Five personality traits, and the Myers Briggs Type Indicator.

Introverted, if they are not social because they are shy, don't feel comfortable approaching people, and get easily embarrased.

Antisocial, if they are not social because they don't want to. They don't like to interact with people. They feel exasperated when around people.
