Answer:

in avoidant personality behavior people feel inferior being around other people while in social anxiety disorder people do not feel inferior.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference that those with social anxiety have when compared with those with avoidant personality, is that these persons with social anxiety do not regard themselves to be inferior amongst other people.
