I enjoy calmer games most times I'm gaming so I have a lot. The genre I most like is puzzle games, but there are a few exploration/ walking simulators here, too. Among the games already listed, there are:

• The Room
• Doors
• Boxes
• Machinka Museum
• My Brother Rabbit
• The Gardens Between
• Stela
• La Rana
• Dawn
• Manifold Garden
• Discolored
• Tree Bonzai

It's interesting you mention they're encouraged to translate your paraverbal communication style; I didn't realize that but it makes sense. I've often been intimidated by situations necessitating a translator, as a therapist, because of uncertainty in how humor would translate- so to speak- for clients with other family norms/cultures. But that moment of gold at the end made me laugh out loud! That's wonderful! 😆

This. Got a place just before the pandemic that wasn't well taken-care-of and had German roaches, assuming that's what you're seeing (tinier, and fast as hell) got this kit (granted it was $20 cheaper a few years ago) and rotated out with a couple of the other kits that come after A's formulation every 6 months. Gone after 2 years. Now I just see the regular ones sometimes- because FL. Saved my sanity.

Also, I wouldn't advise feeing the critters to your chameleon since you don't know what the critters have been exposed to or got into, pesticide wise.

To add to what others have said, boundary-setting is a skill we develop over many social interactions. It may feel awkward or mean setting a boundary initially, but it's essential to maintain one's "social battery" and priorities/sanity.

Speaking of priorities, those are a good indication as to when setting boundaries is helpful. For example, you have an important appointment to get to, but a family member/friend is asking your help with something at around the same time. Communicating you have a prior engagement at the time of your appointment while being willing to help out after, or giving them suggestion on how else they can get the help they need, is you setting a boundary of what you can do with your time.

When we have concerns of feeling like an asshole, we want to consider from where that originates. Sometimes we've been raised around family members or "friends" who take advantage of another's kindness and treat people maintaining boundaries as the villain (e.g. "Why are you leaving us hanging?/ Why couldn't you help me/your Old Man out this one time?"). This is often a sign of emotional immaturity/ poor insight, empathy, and/or self-awareness. Healthy connections will respect your boundaries and maybe check in later if a raincheck is suggested. When interacting with people who don't respect "no" as a full sentence and answer, sometimes reminding them of our limits and empathizing with the person's situation can disarm them.
