I'm afraid about dungeons with the squad...

[Enkidoh]

I actually have the opposite problem though. I am extremely nervous about group play (why I play MMOs, Don't ask me!)
Is there a way to bypass dungeons while leveling.. I do not like to do dungeons or any group play during my first leveling toon.
I have played WoW for 5 years and was hoping for some solo MMO time before I dive back into raiding. any help? Thank you!

Of course you can level other ways (solo) - FATEs, levequests, beastmen daily quests (after about level 43ish I think), and also completing objectives in the Challenge Log all give you EXP through soloing. After level 50 to 60 also unlock Clan Centurio Hunts in Ishgard as the daily hunts for HW areas also reward EXP as well. So yes you most definitely can level solo in this game, although it won't be as quick as dungeon running or PotD, it is still reasonably easy to do so.

What I think you're really overlooking here is, if player is avoiding instanced group content, most of those options are out of reach. For most content, game requires MSQ progress, and MSQ requires grouping up once in a while.
