I think this is more a case of them not wanting to believe what has happening outside. If you don't talk about it, it isn't going on. What is that saying about "tell yourself something enough times and you believe it to be true"?

I can agree with that.
Big difference though between going out and scavenging, compared to watching the governor cut your friend/mentor/fathers head off, or travelling to a supposed safe haven only to have them herd you like cattle in order to slaughter and eat you. Not to mention the countless encounters with massive herds of zombies Ricks group has had, and because of the quarry the Alexandrians have only dealt with small groups of isolated walkers.
Obviously the Alexandrians are willfully keeping their own heads in the sand, but nobody has come along to force their heads out of the sand until now. That happened to Ricks group (and us the audience) long ago.
