How to use "Confines" in context?
Many people assume that when they say "Confinement," they are referring to physical confinement. It might come as a surprise to learn, however, that confinement can also refer to mental confinement.
One of the most common forms of mental confinement is known as psychological imprisonment. This term is used to describe when a person perceives that they are in a situation where they cannot or do not want to leave. This can be a result of a traumatic experience or a feeling of hopelessness.
Confining a person psychologically can have a devastating effect on their sense of self-worth.
