phrase meaning - Is 'to avoid company' a correct expression?


I am trying to convey the next message:




Being an introvert doesn't mean [avoiding company/to avoid company].



Is it correct to use 'to avoid company' in the meaning of 'to be alone, to keep yourself away from company'? Should I use an article before 'company'?




Since it's uncountable, I am supposed to not use an indefinite article to describe a general idea.



company (U) - the fact of being with a person or people, or the person or people you are with




Answer



There is nothing wrong with to avoid company in and of itself.




An introvert is not someone who wishes to avoid company.


Being an introvert does not mean wanting to avoid company.


Being an introvert does not mean you want to avoid company.
