I wish I could be chill like that. Iโve had mixed experiences with people in squats.
I managed to help one girl in a bad situation, others kept to themselves and I covertly dropped a few things off without interacting or narcing (vegetable seeds and cat food).
Others were bad news though
Finding chill seems to help. Other stories are about belting yourself onto rafters to sleep. In somewhere many here may well have had coffee
It sucks because I could help to some degree but have had to learn to be so wary :/
