Shyness in gambling

[aishyoo17]

the only thing that made me embarrassed was when I lost a second time, like losing my self-esteem. as well as money lost, such as losing self-esteem.

It’s all in their mindset, some people believe that gambling is bad so they don’t want to be seen gambling by other people that’s why they are shy whenever they are entering a gambling establishment.

If they believe that gambling is bad then why gamble in the first place? I think they are shy because they don't want their friends to know that they are gambler because they will be judge right away.

There is a huge difference between shyness that a person feels when he first enters in a casino and the one he feels when he enters in some more respected game or place. Let me clarify a bit more, for a newbie gambler It Is more like, “oh, I should not be here” or “this is so embarrassing”, basically a feel of guilty and shame while let’s say, a new football player may fear his first entry into the filed but he will be satisfied.

In the real sense, these are basically two different things and anyone who is having that kind of mindset like 'oh I should not be here' should not even be there in the first place. I do not see anything that should really result into being shy when it comes to gambling for real since where you are, only other gamblers are present and the only reason you can feel shy in any situation is when you feel odd and I do not see how that can ever be applicable for someone who used their own legs to walk into a casino.

Have you ever felt that you didn't play just because you were shy? I have felt this in casinos, and I just felt the pressure, but there's no need to be because everyone just minds their own business in gambling. Probably some people even pushed you to start gambling. I just thought about this because when I tried gambling for the first time in casinos, I don't know if it's okay to sit in tables whether the game is blackjack, poker, anything in the casino just so that I just felt shy because I'm a newbie.

Have you felt this way? I don't know if playing online casinos would have that effect also. What do you think?

No. I've never felt being shy in gambling but i feel pressure while i am playing gambling and it is normal. Unlike being shy it is not normal in gambling because if you are shy you will never enjoy the game, remember just enjoy the game and no one would be mad to you if you sit in tables as long you will bet or a player.

This is what the gamblers are forgetting now, they forget to enjoy the game as everyone is chasing the profits and losses. The shyness only comes if someone witnessed my losses and that's humiliating when someone actually sees your bad moments in gambling.

I agree it is part of the game, we must enjoy it instead of thinking about what we lose. If we think too much about something I guess it would only make the situation worst. Being shy in inevitable especially if you have your reasons. We all know that we are just doing it for fun because there is no guarantee that you can earn something.

People should not comfortable when it is not legal in their local areas and this makes them to feel shy. Even though they have intention to gamble but by bothering about they feel shy playing gambling. So it is always good to quite if you feel shy about gambling.

Not being comfortable for going against the law in your country which you know it is a huge offence is different from being shy. Apparently, what you are doing in that case is trying to watch your back so you do not get nabbed by the authorities. Being shy however, may be something that is applicable to someone who is just hitting a casino for the first time until he is able to start mixing with others, but that is all I can actually think of with respect to being shy.

Yes, I had personally experienced this. In fact, all the gamblers out there must have experienced this when it was their first time. I can relate myself to the scene you described here and that is a common scenario for all the newbies. But yes, no one really cares. They all are busy in their own planning and playing games. They will also welcome you if you have pocket full of money.

Yeah the first entry is full of shyness because gambling is a bad thing and when you want to start any bad thing you will want to hide yourself from other people and this is shyness. New gambler tries to have a seat far in a corner and tries his luck. But shyness and gambling are two opposite things and shyer person never play with confidence and clear mind.

I think many of us feeling shyness for the first time for playing gambling and I think maybe we are not feel good to stay in the places especially if we are playing gambling in the real casino. but maybe if we play gambling in online, this feeling is not to come out because we can play in our room without anybody knows. the casino will always welcome for people which want to try their games and they hope that person can enjoy their time to stay in their places while they can try many games.

I am not in your many because I don’t feel shyness not only in gambling but also in other games you play because these games are for fun purpose basically so we should have fun while playing these games rather than worrying and shying at the start of the game because this shows that you are still not that much mature which maturity is needed at that age from your side.

Yep its actually very relevant to someone even slightly new I think.  Some have the confidence to go ahead and make mistakes no matter what but alot of people will not realise being overly careful or concerned with avoiding mistakes could be the mistake itself and the game is lost from excessive apprehension and trying to be 'careful'    Gambling itself is all about judging risk well, not just winning but also not being afraid to lose initially I think thats a problem to get past.

  I hear similar stories in investment or gambling, some have the mindset they must always win

Gambling is a bad thing and a shy person will never be a good gambler. Gambling is an evil thing and evil people gamble in casinos and in other places. If a shy person starts gambling he will be a worse gambler because gambling needs experience and knowledge and a shy person cannot use these things while gambling. A sy person can only gamble online.

I understand there may just be that feeling you will always have when you are entering a place for the first time since you really do not have friends around, you have not mixed around to know how things are done, so there could still be some element of being a bit shy but not because you are being perceived as a gambler like some people have portrayed while reading through the thread.

Being shy however, depends on each individual's personality, as some people who are extroverts always find it easy to mix in new places compared to introverts.

Maybe because of being newbie in physical casinos that's why you have a shyness in gambling. I am also shy especially if there are a lot of people watching you when you play especially when they look at you because you are new to that place. I think it is normal with casinos but eventually your shyness will gone after all.

I think it is more to nervous instead shy when people around you watching the game .
But if you really do then it might because shyness to meet new people , things can go wrong if you talk to someone etc.
try to do a small talk and you will think that socialize won't make you feel that way anymore.

Maybe a shyness and some nervous at the same time if we go to the casinos, especially if we are new to that place. Socialization can help us overcome our shyness it can also make some friends for a while with some strangers. So I guess playing gambling in casinos can also help boost our socialization to other people.

I actually did feel shy when I first gamble when I was legal to gamble, I have no experience or anything I just went there at first and feel shy to play that's because I'm afraid that someone will look at how I play and judge me that when I started and gain some confidence, I just don't care what other people think and just have fun playing and winning. This is really common if you are a newbie who doesn't know what to do. There is nothing to be shy and admitting it, what it matters is that you overcome it and just play and have fun.

the only thing that made me embarrassed was when I lost a second time, like losing my self-esteem. as well as money lost, such as losing self-esteem.

I don't see it as a bad thing. Gambling is a bad thing every time you became proud of yourself on winning some even though you lose a lot more than that.

Losing your self esteem means that you will be having a hard time gambling again especially in the casino where you got embarrassed and I see that as an opportunity to get yourself out of gambling, it is for your own good, man. Think again on gambling your money since you might build again your self esteem on gambling and the worst might happen, in which being addicted on gambling.

I think if it is our first time to bet in a real casino then its normal to feel ashamed setting on the table, like me when I first to play real tong-its, I feel shy from my opponents and watchers thinking that they have bad comments about my play strategy.

What do you mean that you lost your self-esteem?  I understand if you have been embarrassed but I'm sure that you have made your mistakes and do learn from them. But losing self-esteem is different and difficult and its hard to overcome. It will cost you more money if you continue playing that way so I advise you to at least control you gambling habits.

of course there must be a shame in gambling, for example that I often meet it from the capital that we have and experienced a continuous defeat. because the gamble is not easy to play it

In my opinion we should go with every type of the work in this field because every field have his own experience to work has to be done .
First time before I was ever made gambling was really big for me , I started my first gambling at nitrogensports site where I am definitely 3 win back to back in cricket game bet and I realised that I can make any amount of earnings in this field and Never feels that I will face any type of the loss and also I become more stronger with my earnings in this field instead to get shy that I am playing game of gambling .
Well it is a type of addiction and a part of fun if we can give limit to us .
Otherwise it will steal all of your Money step by step all .

That is a given since it is your first time and I also think that it is a good thing not because you are shy but because you are being aware of what you are doing. Being afraid or shy has it own positive effect to people and I think it is a good thing that can help people in the long run. It might be a good thing for us since we are being shy to our opponents, we might consider to stop gambling.

There are times when a gambler is in a difficult position, it is when the desire to gamble is so strong but there is no money can be used to fulfill the desire. At times like this, the tendency to do bad things happen. For example, use the money that should be used for other more important things. If a gambler has done something like this, shame will surely come up.

It is not that some people think gambling is bad out of no facts. Due to this game, people have not only lost relations but their lives too. There have been cases in which gamblers even bet their homes and family members. With the passage of time, its addiction gets stronger. Ultimately, gamblers lose their senses and start hurting people around him. This is a bad activity in all ways.
