What I mean is, just sitting in a parking lot not doing or waiting for anything. I came to realize after moving here that it’s probably the lack of 3rd spaces in the US. And because the country is so car-centric, the only place really where someone can take a minute just for themselves is in their car.

What does 3rd spaces mean? I'm not familiar with that phrase

Places that people coalesce other than work or home. A bar, a church, sport stadium, a park.
