I'm mostly seeing it as withdrawing and sheltering from the outside world. Which I agree with the original that seems synonymous with escaping reality. (In a cultural aspect at least).

Replace "hide in a corner" with almost anything and it works just as well. We all do it, both consciously and unconsciously for most of the time we're alive.

Not seeing any reference to "escaping reality" in any of the online dictionaries.

‘Hiding’ is interpreted fairly faithfully in the tweet, imo.

Saying "hide in a corner" is easier and nearly as many syllables so I understand why it dropped.
