Literally anywhere if you're a friendly person?

I go work at a coffee shop and coworking spaces and have made more friends then going into an office and seeing the same 10 people everyday.

How could you extrapolate that seeing the same office people everyday all day is good for.yiur social life.

Because it's easier to interact with someone when we are dealing with the same project / sharing the experience of being an employee for the same company?

If you're not a company man and have interests outside of work... what you're proposing sounds like an absolute nightmare.

[rafaelero]

It's not about work. In the same way that high school friends are not about the high school... I feel like I am running in circles here.

It's about having a shared context to tap into, it makes things easier, is that what you're saying?

[rafaelero]

Yep. It's about the constant and intentionless interactions. Not something you can easily replicate outside, even in coworking spaces. Don't get me wrong - it is possible -, but if I am struggling to make the adjustments required (and I am fairly social person), I can only imagine how hard it can be for less well connected people. Make no mistake, this is only going to aggravate our "loneliness epidemic".

When you work at coworking spaces, do you prefer a private desk or flex desk / lounge out in the open?

[edmcnulty101]

Either way. I find I meet people at the events the co-working spaces throw or in the break rooms or kitchen.
