A social psychologist examines an individual in group dynamics and interpersonal relationships. It is still focused on the individual. Thing like personal prejudice, the sense of belonging, implicit bias, and effects of bullying are what social psychologist study.
On hacker news I expect the consequence of moving away from physical relationships to digital relationships, otaku, and parasocial relationships are pretty fascinating topics that fall under the research of social psychology.
It's different from sociology because it's focused on the individual. Sociology would instead be focused on the development of groups as a whole.
I am assuming by asocial you're referring to otaku as a concept and not someone's trauma response.
