I suspect that's not a true answer. You could hypothetically feel pleased when you creep someone out. That's a possible state for a human.
So it may not be "them feeling creeped out" that you avoid, but "you having an obligation to feel bad when you creep someone out", and you avoid that state of feeling bad. Which is slightly different.
Once, at the Little Gym with my then-2-year-old daughter, I unwittingly creeped out a 2-year-old girl, without interacting with her.
(I heard her mention to her mom "the creepy guy in orange").
The self-esteem hit was decidedly nontrivial.
