Nothing to be confused.

If someone is in prison for some reason then he/she gets used to staying inside. It is like creating your own microcosm and when you are out you feel like lost and not comfortable. Several studies in the real world noticed this.

Aversion means a complete rejection of the outside world, in this case. Instead, the logic blank is that you are reluctant or you do have doubts
