I think anti-social just means they don't want to talk or socialize with people and loner means that nobody wants to socialize with them.

You're a loner if you prefer to be by yourself so you can think.You're anti-social if you prefer to be alone because you can't stand other people.

a loner is someone who chooses to have no friends or drift between groups because they haven't found a clique that they fit into.anti-social means that the people do not choose to be alone but rather are alone because they do not know how to be with other people or socialize

Maybe it's because I'm in the mental health field, but antisocial generally means persons who behave with a"disregard for and violation of the rights of others"; those who don't behave within social norms. I would say an introvert is more of a loner..someone who is shy or lacks confidence or just prefers being alone.
