i would think if you had avoidant personality disorder you would avoid people in all situations at all times. i am very picky about when i want to be social. i avoid people in most circumstances. i even become ....offended is the best word i can put to it...when people call me on the phone....it is weird but i feel like they are violating my space, intruding on me without my permission...but i have never been tagged as avoidant. like you said, it could just be remnants of avoiding people from the odor experince which is more anxiety than a personality disorder. take care.
