I have "ina cónaí i mboilgeog" but I'd love if there was a natural way to say this. Any ideas?

You know how you can say someone lives in a bubble, as in they live in their own little world, they've cossetted themselves from the negative parts of the outside world, and are immune to troubles and have a fully intact belief-system that they can defend regardless of challenges.

It kinda is a literal meaning of living in a bubble but I'm not sure that ina cónaí would work all the same.
