antisocial extrovert

The term can describe a broad array of possibilities:

1.) Someone who could easily be the life party... if you could just get them to come to it.
2.) Someone who came to the party, lived it up, and then wanted to get the heck alone.
3.) Someone who came to the party, got drained from the crowds, and then wanted to get the heck alone.
4.) Someone who can carry a conversation in a bucket, but prefers not to seek them out with others.
5.) Someone aware that they usually have fun around others but are happier ignoring that in favor of just being alone.
6.) Someone who is probably glad those get-together plans got the heck cancelled.

Antisocial extroverts may prefer small groups of friends and/or family over larger groups, supposing they prefer some people. Though probably capable of making and elaborating upon small talk, they may hate it. They may feel a pointlessness to social gatherings unless they can somehow "fit in" meaningfully, such as having a role (cooking, entertaining, etc). If not, they most likely feel an outright pointlessness to social gatherings.

antisocialite 

(n) A person who defies fashion and trendiness passively, by just being an individual.

The polar opposite of a socialite.

Not to be confused with an antisocial, antisocialites do not shun socializing, but rather avoid using it as a lifestyle (as socialites do).

Also not to be confused with a nonconformist, who purposely does the opposite of anything they deem to be "in" at a given time.
Example:
If you just have to get that new Louis Vuitton handbag with built in poodle carrier, you're a socialite.

If you hate the world and everything in it, and are too lazy to do more than bitch about it, you are a nonconformist.

If you just don't give a fuck, you're an antisocialite.
