Comment: There weren't many examples of the limit/confine sense.

Here's one I found.
寄人籬下的淒苦童年,養成她沉默自封的個性;
"Her difficult childhood led her to shut herself off from the world."

I think "isolate oneself" can replace "confine oneself to".

"isolate oneself" is a gloss in Dr.eye, K, PLC & ABC.
Diff:
- 自封 自封 [zi4 feng1] /to proclaim oneself (sth)/to give oneself the title of/self-appointed/self-styled/to limit oneself to/to confine oneself to/
+ 自封 自封 [zi4 feng1] /to proclaim oneself (sth)/to give oneself the title of/self-appointed/self-styled/to limit oneself to/to isolate oneself/
