The term anti-social is used a bit too loosely these days.  <removed text>
Not wanting to talk to people in general
is just filtering.  Arrogant at the most, but definitely not
"anti-social".

First that is not a comparison that makes me comfortable, but you knew that
you were being extreme when you wrote it. The below definition says to me
that someone could be "not sociable" or be hermit-like and shun society
without becoming the unibomber. Anti-social doesn't have to be so extreme.
Anyways you are just playing semantics.

an·ti·so·cial
adj.
1) Shunning the society of others; not sociable.
2) Hostile to or disruptive of the established social order; marked by or
engaging in behavior that violates accepted mores: gangs engaging in
vandalism and other antisocial behavior.
3) Antagonistic toward or disrespectful of others; rude.
