Avoidant behaviour does not solve the actual problem. To each their own, but I think trying to address the issue and learn from it to better deal with these situations in the future is much more constructive than to abandon or limit all future coworker interaction. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

About half of the times, the actual problem is the manager or HR, and there is no fix for this but to switch the employer. As for the other half, yes, it can be useful to learn, but it's typically quite painful, and often requires switching the employer anyway.
