I have Avoidant personality disorder too. I don't have any real social anxiety problems, I go in public, go to school, etc. I just tend to to try to avoid certain situations. For example conflict or confrontation with other people. I do tend to be more withdrawn though, and often would prefer no contact with anyone outside of my family.
