"living in a vacuum"

In total isolation; having no interaction with or connection to other people, places, or actions. Your actions don't occur in a vacuum; they affect everyone else here, too! Being in such a remote, rural town can sometimes feel like living in a vacuum.

I've never understood what this saying meant. Living in a vacuum.. living in a bubble? Growing up being shielded/protected from things in the world because they are bad? Or just because they are too volatile? Too unsure? So you stick with what's safe? 

Interesting. I guess that makes more sense now.
