The “third place” disappearing explains why everyone feels weirdly lonely

Home. Work. And then… where? 😶 A lot of people used to have a third place. A diner. A library. A church. A corner store. A cheap cafe where nobody cared how long you sat there. Now everything costs money, closes early, or expects you to buy something every 20 minutes. Maybe we’re not all bad at friendship. Maybe we just lost the places where friendship used to happen by accident. ☕
