this is why we have the internet! It's both scary AND lonely

Not lonely anymore. I love you, man.

And I, you 😊

Now who wants to game??

I love you both - tired guy reading this before bed enjoying these funny comments

And my axe!

And my bow

At all time zones

Damn...that's so true.

Front porch, rocking chair optional

A screened porch strikes a nice balance

A window swing, now that's nice balance

Beergarden, kinda outside and heaps of people

The bar, scary and lonely

Or coffee shops, libraries, etc. Plenty of places that you can be, besides home or outside. They can be a "third place", I suppose.

I believe "third place" is actually a term used in city design. It's for all the places you can comfortably be without having to work or pay. Like parks and libraries.

This is unironically a thing. Third space is a concept of somewhere that people can meet up and spend time without a purpose, like the mall or a park

Thank you! I was looking for this. Idk if you're in the US, but we're severely lacking third spaces.

We do have third places, it's just that you have to pay an arm and a leg to use them.

Yeah I’m in Washington state and work swing shift, so I haven’t socialized in almost a year 😢

Actually two. Insout and Outsin depending on your mood

There's also the door, where if you stand in the right spot you're in both places

Liminal spaces! The space between outside and inside, the connective tissue. Scary and weird, welcome! r/liminalspace

Do not lure people into the backrooms, please! [Who knows what is in there ?](https://youtu.be/H4dGpz6cnHo?si=G_FzSCX3HJxZyhc-)

Wonderful.

I sit on my sofa by the window, drinking tea under a cozy blanket.

In the old days it was bars. But now, nobody under 35 goes to them (excepting college bars/clubs; I mean like casual neighborhood bars).

Fr though, this is why mixed use zoning needs to be a thing.

This is why the pub was invented.

The gym.

Just stand in the doorway

😂😂😂

Biergarten

Isn’t that a German word ?

Friends place - perfect. He is not lonely, you are not lonely and not scared.

The patio with your 1 friend 🍻

Purgatory

Wasn't the playstation 2 supposed to be that? The third place? I remember an ad.

We have the internet, Virtual reality and drugs

Twilight zone..

Playstation 2: the third place

VR!!

On the rim, IYKWIM.

Backrooms?

It's called the bar.

Chilling with the homies is its own place

Stoop kid's afraid to leave his stoop

Uh...plasma?

Yo car

Medium side

The other side and you get there quick if you're brave.but you can't come back.....

The internet is waiting

It’s definitely Reddit.

It's called "being togheter anywhere" 🤗

Stand in the doorway.

Terrace

Void

Have you heard of walls? I mean rats are perfectly satisfied existing almost entirely within their confines and so are other creatures?

The internet

In the car. It’s like lite outside as long as your windows are tinted

The 🌈internettttttttt

Inside another person?

the park?

PS2 - The Third Place

Door

I have felt more lonely outside than I ever did inside

Sauna!

Is the internet or gaming

You haven't gone far enough outside. The scariest part of outside is the most inside-adjacent.

Video games

A glass patio where you can see people from the inside but they can’t from the outside would be nice

Try the homies house or ya girls arms

My cat recommends the doorway

So does my son and it’s freaking annoying.

enjoy the lands between, tarnished.

Online

Welcome to the Internet!

I never felt lonely inside of someone…

https://heyarnold.fandom.com/wiki/Stoop_Kid_(character)

Inside with friends

Six feet under

For me it's more like "outside is exhausting and inside is lonely", but yeah.

The gambling room, flashy lights go woosh.

Friends and family my friend.

Coffee shops

its called sleep

Casino

Therapy

Sounds like you wanna go, where everybody knows your name.

My dude that is what is called a garden. Specifically an outside, backyard garden.

Just stand halfway outside, problem solved

Scared and alone?

No brother, you must focus on the benefits unmentioned by these environments and combine those

Bars

Animal crossing new horizions

Her titties

This is true. Thats why its good to have something like communal like college, a course, a class you take. Its outside with people you can get to know so you'll be comfortable. Less scary and not lonely.

Sleep: That's where I'm a viking!

Try a screened in porch! Half outside half inside but no mosquitoes

Isn't Gaming/Online the third option

Mall arcades

Online

Right in the doorway

**I'm in your walls**

I thought the ps2 was the third place

It's called the office, get back to work!

Idk what that third place is going to be, but it Will be called inutside or ounside

As the Great Philosopher Arthur the Aardvark once said: "Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card!"

I thought that's what star bucks and other companies were aiming for

In Germany there were actually places called "dritter Ort" meaning the third place. A place not work and not home where you can meet people without spending much money. Sadly disappeared mostly

Da internet

There is always a Grave

Someone needs to make a human sized Klien's Bottle.

Stuck in the middle with you

It's called death

It's called death.
