Dissociative fugue is where you get dissociative amnesia, but then "move" somewhere, or go somewhere to get away from your old life, without realizing what you're doing. It serves to "get away" from any really bad situation or problem in your life. It is commonly preceded by depression or abuse.

An antisocial person would hate being in social situations, not know how to handle them when in them, and avoid them if at all possible.
