> the third place (or third space) is the social surroundings separate from the two usual social environments of home ("first place") and the workplace ("second place"). Examples of third places would be environments such as cafes, clubs, public libraries, or parks.


tl;dr: my third place is a McDonald's in central New Jersey. I barely eat any of their food but I am there a lot.

This cool secluded spot in the forest in my uni

I've only ever seen one person there

I dont care much about my third "places" as long as I am completely secluded and isolated

i had a spot at college....it was near an indoor swimming pool, there was a vent with a very light chlorine/eucalyptus smell. in the winter it would pump warm air out 24/7 and some nights I'd sit there above it, kind of meditating.

I went to Purdue.
>>
I don't even have a second place though so how could I have a third one?

Sounds comfy. I just really wish there were more secluded spots on campus... and I live in a fucking forest

It's as if the uni is actively trying to remove even the possibility of seclusion

technically, for both of you, it's the internet, but you should probably have a physical location you go to just to meditate or check the internet.

I'll suggest starbucks or somewhere with free wifi.
>>
>>34760130
I had a similar spot back when I went to school
I would go out between classes and watch anime/movies on my laptop
It was very relaxing

A tree. I go and sit on or next to it and daydream every day for the past few years.
File too large, gonna crop and post it
>>
>>34760404
that's the tree. I switch between the bench and it and spend around 1h on it each day

I go to the gym a lot because I'm too poor to buy the equipment for my place.
Thankfuly people don't interact a lot there
>>
>>34760649
r9k is infested with chads thats how
>>
Also don't have a second place, but I do have a third (which I often use to escape home when my parents get on my nerves). It's a quiet spot with a lot of vegetation in the middle of the city, but pretty far from any roads. No one is ever there and it's pretty close to my home so I go there a lot, especially in the winter when it's not so hot.
>>
>>34760598

the gym is a positive habit.

places like planet fitness are designed to NOT accomodate Chads and meatheads......but they do welcome girls.
>>
This is a god tier thread. I don't have a third spot because I'm pretty uncomfortable outside in general just sitting there.

I love peeking into robots lives, though :)
>>
dont leave home. dont have a second or third place

I don't have a second, or third place. I used to have a spot in the very back of the school library, back when I was in college. I only saw like 8 people go back there in my 2 years of sitting back there. I could sit with my back to the corner with my laptop on in front of me, using the colleges fast as fuck wi-fi. It was kind of like my second room. It was secluded, even though it was public. I miss it, now that I think about it.

My third place is my local skatepark but in the winter its a ski resort near where I live. It turns out being good at either of those sports doesn't help you make friends if you're completely unlikable.
>>
I've been looking for one, but there's nothing that isn't close to a loud road or isolated enough not to encounter normies within proximity of where I live. Got any suggestions for cool places, brobots? (I'm too uncomfortable to sit at a Starbucks or McDonald's, BTW)
>>

>being on the computer where people can see your screen

That shit drives me crazy even if I'm doing completely normal shit. I guess you could sit with your back to the wall, but that would make people wonder why you have your screen turned away. Why should we go to a physical location to check the internet?
>>
>>34760898
if you go in a wendy's, a chipotle or even a mcdonald's late nights (or an hour before closing), you'll see minimal normies.

Does WoW count as a third place?
>>
>>34761129
no patrick wow is not a third place
>>
>>34760988
But there might be employees there. I look so unkempt they might kick me out, to be honest.
>>
there's a bar I go to once a week on Wednesdays
>>
>>34759943
probably a starbucks near my campus. it is massive, has great wifi and everyone there is reserved with polite workers. not the usual liberal cesspool.
>>
>>34759943
my second place is the internet.
my third place is the shower
>disabled & on gov ben.
>>
>>34761291
Why Wednesdays? Do you go because you like that specific bar or because people leave you alone there?
>>
>>34762435
I used to go with my dad that day and just got used to it. the bartender knows me and doesn't charge as much.
>>
>>34760791
I do appreciate Nighthawks, senpai.
>>
My third place would be the gym.
All I ever do is play on computer, schooling, and work out.
also a bit of piano but thats once a week

Been a member for 6 months now, absolutely hate it. People come in all the time and crowd around the dumbell rack every Monday to look busy so they can get free pizza. Fuck freeloadin' NEETs.

I haven't looked at any of his other paintings but the one you posted is beautiful. Despite the strong use of colors, his paintings seem to be a bit depressing, dreamlike, unsettling, and comfy all in one.

just like my life.

I go on walks a lot too. Just to be somewhere other than alone at home or at work.

I guess I always have this fantasy that I'll have some form of human contact while on my walk. It never really happens though.

A cozy grunge cafe near my house, pic related I took over the summer. There's a lot of strange people like a goth pirate band but everyone is super nice. Basically like the goth/art lunch table in high school. It was a Pokemon go stop so business was booming and always open until 3am. It's easy to make new friends there.

The only down side is that I always got a stomach ache after eating there and there's no air conditioning. It's not so clean.

Thanks senpai, I try not to tell normies about it because I don't want it to be filled with annoying chads and stacies.

Yes I played Jenga with the goth pirate band. Forgot what their name was but one guy had a gold pimp cane

The local shooting range. I'm an aspie but I can strike up conversations about guns and shooting with other people and everyone flows so smoothly like I don't have any anxiety in my mind.

It's one of the reasons why I like shooting as a hobby, it's the only place where I can feel like myself.
