I use 'prosocial' all the time in my internal vocabulary but don't hear other people using that word very much. 'Prosocial' is the internal spectrum I have for how ok you are as a person. It fits way better than other words cause it feels inclusive of weirder mind states.
I always though 'prosocial' conflated altruism and extraversion in a way that makes introverts feel unfairly antisocial.

I’m a big fan of the word ‘prosocial’, but you have a good point. What would you use as a substitute?

I find it useful to treat prosocial-antisocial and sociable-unsociable as independent axes. Do you know of less overloaded terms for these underlying ideas?
