To me, this is because she really likes people and she
likes to think. While these are things that would be seen as good in our society, the
society she lives in does not value these things. In fact, those are things that are
bad in that society.
To this society, people should not
think. Thinking is likely to make them want to rebel against the society. Instead,
they are supposed to go in for mindless entertainment. Because Clarisse likes to think,
she is antisocial.
To this society, people should not
really care about each other. If people care about each other, they will tend to
separate themselves into groups -- there will be the people you care about and those you
don't. This might make the society split apart and come into conflict. Therefore, it
is important that people do not care about each other. Since Clarisse does care about
others, she is anti-social.
Overall, then, Clarisse is
antisocial because she acts in these ways -- ways that would undermine the society if
everyone copied her.
