Extrasocial

/ˌɛkstrəˈsoʊʃəl/ adjective

Definition

Existing or occurring outside of social groups, society, or normal social interaction.

Etymology

From Latin 'extra' (outside) + 'social' (relating to society, from 'socius' meaning companion or ally).

Kelly Says

Hermits and deep-sea creatures live extrasocial lives, but humans are wired for society—so complete extrasocial isolation actually damages our brains and health, proving that our social nature isn't a luxury but a biological need.
