That is, at least not the meaning of the german "Kochen im eigenen Saft" 
(stewing in your own juce) that was the intended sense  I guess..

Stewing in your own juce means: You are referencing to yourself, without 
searching for influence from the outside.

BTW: I do not think, that such behavior is entirely wrong, as long as 
you are aware of the fact, hat there is an outside world, to stick to 
your own turf is just another strategy to cope with the world. If it is 
better or worse is written in results/facts in the end.
