This seems unnecessarily presumptive. While it may be true that using terms like "liberation" and "freedom" implies at least a somewhat avoidant personality, I think you're really venturing too far to extrapolate from that that such people don't actually enjoy being alone. Case in point: I would probably use those terms sometimes to describe alone time, and yet I enjoy the hell out of it. I don't seek alone time to "demonstrate autonomy" -- I seek it because I enjoy it, period. Part of the reason I enjoy it is because of the autonomy it involves, but I've never once isolated myself just to prove to myself that I have some sort of autonomy.
