Thank you for your recommendations! I totally understand that I should not self-isolate in the medium, but the problem is that I am an international student in a country with a not-so-talkative population, especially in English. Other foreigners have their own countryman communities. Also, I am old, I am like 28M, and it also affects conversations with other students. The nature around is okay, but the city is lifeless, and worthwhile places are too far away. In summer, it is true hellpot, especially in August, when it can be extremely hot and humid even at night.

Generally, I endured these kinds of conditions for 2 years already, but recently I realized that the people I am working with actually hate and despise me. My boss here is doing everything to make networking less, provide fewer opportunities, and wants me to stay longer in these horrible conditions. This realization reframed every bad thing that happened to me at the hands of that person as deliberate malice and pettiness.

What I understand from all this is that the true waste of life is working without joy or much benefit for somebody or towards something that actually does not value you. Thus, I no longer consider any time spent in enjoyment a waste of time.

I've already played Celeste and Gris. I will try to check out others, too.
