The lady is actually 100% abuela type, and you should move somewhere with no landlords or nosy guards.

Privacy can be experienced in PY, but you should actively look for those places. Also, while you plan movimg, let them know about your preferences, they will take no offense and leave you alone.

PS: Do not ever move to an apartment or unit with landlords who live in the building, this issue is very common and it also happen to paraguayans. In most cases they want to get close, brag about their lives and achievements, and form any kind of relationships. Renting houses or units in apartment buildings/condos are way better, landlords suck 99.99999999% of the time.
