I think you missed something in your research....

They desire affection and acceptance and may fantasize about idealized relationships with others.
Avoidant personality disorder does not just mean avoiding people. It also means a fear of criticism, extremely low self-esteem AND wanting closer relationships. Those are the reasons we avoid people. Avoiding people because you don't like them isn't AvPD.

If you're fine with everything in your life, there's nothing bad about avoiding people if you don't want people around you. It becomes a problem when you do want that but you can't form connections.

From your post it doesn't sound like you have AvPD. Believe me - if you have AvPD, you will know what the problem is.
