Answer:
Because he can't fit in.
Explanation:
Gavin feels very different from Aurora's family, especially among the men in the family. He is unable to understand the traditions, rites of passage and customs that they have and that is why he feels lonely and isolated and isolated.

This makes him feel uncomfortable, around Aurora's family, although he doesn't dislike them.
