        No, I don't think so, without using google, I find I am shy around some people or people that create a circumstance I am not comfortable with, avoidance is what I do with people that annoy,or  irritate me, or those I find I have nothing in common with

          Idiom 


           Fight shy of, to keep away from; avoid: She fought shy of making the final decision.


          To shy away from something is the same as avoiding.

            YES, in certain circumstances, "SHY" and "AVOID" are synonymous. Note that "shy" doesn't stand alone in the sentence.
            "Bob tends to shy away from confrontation with his boss."
            "Bob tends to avoid confrontation with his boss."
