Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling

[uneng]

Loneliness absolutely has no link to gambling appetites rather loneliness would make you feel dedicated to your endivoirs because you would be faced with no distractions. While contrarily, your undisruptible engagement who is fused by a longlines can be an addiction if time is not taking.
Addictions is mostly come from a pleasury activities or matter of depression where one can't take control of it's emotions.
So... If that of your guy has been a gambler before his marital issues and he is flexible to his emotion's then is absolutely liable to an addition to gambling and on such circumstances is just how he would keep to loosing over and over like he basically fails to stress on winning instead he would only want to have a fair play where he seems to take it for fun but regretting after realizing how much loosed.

Depression is the lack of desire and will to live, sustain a routine, make long term plans, and feel pleasure for activities which used to be pleasant before. So I really don't know if depression could be considered a trigger for gambling addiction, because in fact it seems a bit contradictory, since a depressed person doesn't have energy or will to maintain an addiction for gambling.

But it's true depression is directly linked to loneliness, as people tend to stay away from social interactions when they are on this prejudiced state of mind. I just don't see a link between depression and gambling, which could eventually proove the relation between loneliness and gambling as well.

You're right, they should vent their emotions on positive things, including exercising, right? As for chatting, I think it's good but don't involve discussions that lead to gambling because if it leads to gambling, they might do gambling, so it's also best to avoid conversations that lead to gambling. And also don't choose the wrong friends to talk to or chat with.

Yes, because the environment and relationships are very influential on behavior, that's why when someone feels lonely, it's best to look for someone to chat with or friends to just look for fun other than gambling or to gather with family because family will usually always make the lonely atmosphere even more crowded. I often do that. when gathering with family to just chat and have dinner together.

You don't have to look for friends if you still have family, because family provides a quieter, warmer atmosphere, sometimes when we are with friends there may be discussions that lead to gambling unless it is a friendship that most people have is good, it won't be a problem. but for me personally loneliness is a moment where I can introspect myself so I don't need anyone to chat because loneliness doesn't completely make me addicted to gambling.

Gathering with family can make them forget and eliminate their desire to gamble, because with a cool chat that also makes the atmosphere warmer it can forget their desire to gamble. Also with friends they can do as long as their friends are not gamblers either, gathering can play with video games, or others that can still be done by them with their friends, here they also have to be smart in choosing friends not just choosing friends. That way they can avoid the desire to gamble, but if their friends are the same gamblers it will be useless if they get together, because it could be that the chat will lead to gambling.

Even if you are lonely and not fully addicted to gambling, it doesn't matter, it's even good when you are lonely but you are not interested in gambling, people's thoughts are different so they have their own choices, but don't let when they are lonely they run to gambling because they want to find pleasure, the other side is not a problem if they only intend to find pleasure but what is feared is that they can be interested periodically and this will endanger them later if they are continuously interested in gambling.

I'm confused and looking for answers

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?

How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?

If you are making $600 a day, that's $20000 in a month, and because you are only you start having interest to gamble, what do you think this is?

All these questions is been asked because someone close said all these and I think he are losing money and losing himself too, of all the discussions we had, these are the points I held unto.

Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.

- Loneliness can make anyone find different ways to fill the void. I also gambled regularly because I broke up with my girlfriend, but thinking back, it was a youthful impetuosity.

- We don't seek pleasure from gambling, so what the hell are we playing? Like those people, they only think that gambling is everything. It's also possible that it's part of a sign of gambling addiction, but as is the case it's just loneliness.

- If the OP is talking about the hypothesis then I think maybe I could make money magically with gambling games but honestly I wouldn't really spend that much time gambling, for me that's the way to go. It's best to get rid of the old rules and no one forces me to play.

Loneliness can have great effect on the way we bets which can be a big factor of becoming an addicted gambler. Many people in the past had faced this kind of challenges many time without getting ride of the addiction. Addiction can be with us for ever or for a long time depending on how long we are able to work on  it to become a better gambler. Most time addiction can eat into our bone and keep making us to keep gambling without knowing the effect it could pose to us in a long time. We need to try our best in whatsoever condition we find ourselves so that we don't become a severe gambler due to addiction.

It usually depends on the individual's own will to not become addicted to gambling. If a very bad person is addicted to gambling to get rid of loneliness if he hopes for something good then he must look for other ways to get rid of loneliness and not make himself destitute by getting addicted to gambling. As easy as it is to get into this world once it becomes an addiction it is harder to get out. This is why it is important to change your position and set goals for a meaningful life set your goals whenever you think that life is over think about building a new life. If you feel very lonely contact old friends if you are in entertainment you can easily remove loneliness.

yep, exactly. loneliness should not be used as an excuse to gamble or in other words gambling is not the right place to get rid of loneliness because it has a bad impact in the long term and there are many more ways to forget about loneliness with positive things as you said and there are other ways you dont need to contact friends Its a long time or better to invite someone to cycle around looking for a place to buy food to relax and there are many more ways to avoid loneliness without having to gamble.

all of this must require one own mindset or goals If the person feels emotional when lonely because of the loss of someone they love, they will definitely vent about bad things such as drinking and gambling, but actually that not good and that not the way an adult should think we avoid it.
for anyone who is lonely, try to think maturely that we are not living alone and gambling is not a good place to relieve loneliness.

I don't understand what you mean but I think I understand what you are saying, loneliness can indeed lead to gambling addiction if they are not based on self-control and are easily carried away by emotions, in my opinion not everyone who is lonely and then gambles will find that the addiction depends from the nature of gamblers, even people who gamble openly can develop a gambling addiction if they cannot control themselves. The good side is that there are still people who remind the person to cure their addiction so that gambling openly can still be supervised by friends and family.

However, there comes a point where someone who is lonely tries to get rid of their boredom but they don't have a job or someone to accompany them to get rid of their boredom and finally they gamble just for entertainment. They consider gambling to be like playing a game. If they can control their finances well then they can avoid gambling addiction.

That is true, entering into gambling because of loneliness is not good because it will affect you in many ways. You will not make good judgement and you might even stake beyond your budget in such a situation. Gambling will not take the depression away and you might even enter into depression should you lose huge amount of money.

Instead of gambling, a depressed person can play video games or other leisure things that can take his mind off the depression.

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?

Loneliness does not make people addicted to gambling.  Gambling addiction occurs when people lose a lot of money gambling and for some reason people suffer a lot.

How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?

A person who takes gambling as a pastime can never become addicted to gambling.

If you are making $600 a day, that's $20000 in a month, and because you are only you start having interest to gamble, what do you think this is?

I don't totally understand this question that's why I can't answer here. If I understood the question well, I would definitely be able to answer it.

Here the man may have already had a gambling addiction due to which his wife left him. After his wife left him, he suffered more and became more attracted to gambling.

Although that is true but on the other hand in my opinion it goes back to each individual, if indeed they do not limit themselves at all then obviously choosing gambling to treat loneliness is not recommended, but on the other hand if they can apply many restrictions with a mind that is always aware or means not getting carried away then maybe it won't be a problem. But yes basically even though gambling is still an activity that is better avoided, after all there are still many other activities that can give you pleasure when you feel lonely or bored and also without risk.

Usually like cases that often occur instead of them getting pleasure and relieving depression from real life problems but what happens is the opposite with the gambling they do it actually adds a lot of problems, especially in terms of their finances, it is clear and there is very much evidence. Therefore I think you should really consider every decision you want to make, see the negative impact first before you regret it.

Lonelinesses means idleness, it's obvious that when you are idle, a lot of things come to your head, especially if you are now bored and need to kill the boredom, then you will definitely think of your hobbies which is where the whole thing starts. It's nothing bad if it's such loneliness that makes you just do your hobbies once in a while, but when it's becoming what you do again and again without having control over it, then it's an addiction.

So, yes, loneliness can aggravate addiction, and to make the matter worse, loneliness might make the cure of the addiction difficult unless the person first kills the source/cause which is loneliness/idleness as you might want to call it. Without winning the cause, it will be aggravated and it will be so bad and controlling. In this situation, I strongly advise the person to step out often, and if there is enough money, get yourself engaged with external activities like watching movies, hanging around friends, visiting the gym and even library among others.

Loneliness can not make you be addicted to gambling, but if you're already addicted, loneliness can make it impossible for you to stop. If you're not a gambling addict already, you can look for other fun things to do to kill the boredom, except you're already gradually becoming addicted, that's when loneliness is a big problem to you because wheneve you're lonely and alone, the next thought is to do something exciting, and nothing more would matter to you at that moment other than to depend on gambling to alleviate your mood. And before you know it, you end up loosing money you didn't plan to. So if you're already an addict, the fist step to fighting the addiction is avoid being alone or lonely as much as you can. Keeping your mind busy or hanging around friends who don't gamble will make you not to think of gambling and gradually you'll see yourself fighting the addiction.

Rather than gambling when they are lonely, they should think about activities that can benefit them. And it actually depends on the person because if he doesn't feel lonely even when he's alone, he won't start gambling just to get rid of his loneliness. He knows that gambling is not the solution to relieve his loneliness, so he will start thinking about what he can do. But if the person does not want to think about what can be done and thinks about gambling, there is a possibility that he will start gambling, and when he finds pleasure in gambling, he will probably continue gambling and will not stop gambling. It would be dangerous for him because he could lose all his money just for gambling. That's why when we are lonely, we have to think of ways to keep ourselves busy by doing something so that our minds don't think about gambling.

Once you hook with gambling you will think of playing it in every possible way such as being lonely or alone. Thinking about different activities while you have a choice of gambling that you can play immediately will surely guves you an easy answer to your loneliness.

Sometimes lack of social activity is what makes gambling very popular destination of lonely people since they don’t need to interact with kther people just to be happy. But this is only applicable to those who have gambling experience and not with person that non-experienced on gambling.

[Vaskiy]

One won't directly get into gambling out of loneliness. If he had the practice of gambling earlier, then he gets directed into it whenever he feels lonely. I personally experienced it and I've lost much out of it. Being lonely after his wife had left, it surely makes him frustrated. By the time he should keep himself active on something. In most of the motivational videos after breakup, I've seen the guy focusing on building his career or his body workout. This is the right thinking, when we get into gambling we'll enjoy the win at the beginning days. The same won't last longer and this easily ends into addiction and makes the person lazy and never lets him think beyond gambling.

No doubt gambling is not a recipe for loneliness and someone who is lonely can't find it easy to be thinking of solution because if he or she has the ability to think of solution there or at the moment then they don't have reason to be lonely in the first place. Therefore, for someone who is lonely, the best thing to do is to go out to meet people or friends, just avoid being all to yourself.

Although, you can be in someone's company yet you are lonely, so finding someone that makes you happy is key to going out of loneliness and not to go gambling because that will make someone sad when you lose. A lonely person need to avoid being sad but should try to be happy.

When someone is addicted to gambling, he will not feel lonely or alone because he has found a way to kill his loneliness by gambling, and this is what ultimately makes him addicted to gambling. He will not be aware of his addiction because he thinks that he can still think clearly even though it is just his feelings. Even though he was addicted to gambling, he did not do any other activities apart from gambling and looking for gambling games that were suitable for him.

Sometimes, loneliness is due to a lack of socializing with the people around us. Perhaps they rarely visit their neighbors because they don't feel like they get along with them. Or we think that they are too busy so we can't meet them and many other reasons. But if they want to try to leave their house to walk around their house, maybe they will find something or someone they can chat with.

A lonely person should try to find something that can keep him busy and not have more free time so that his mind will not wander incoherently. He will think about what he can do the next day because his work today is finished. He will get something new if he wants to get out of his house so he can get ideas that can make him more creative. These lonely people need to look for ideas that can make them think about what they should do so that they won't feel lonely.

By leaving his house, he can start meeting other people who match his character so that they can do something useful and avoid feeling lonely. If they have found something useful and started doing it, they will not feel lonely but will find there is something they can do every day. Those who have to try to kill their loneliness so they won't think about gambling.

[dezoel]

Yes of course, most especially if you already have an experience with it. Chances are, that it'll cross in your mind. This is why we are often advised to socialize when we want to skip a bad habit.

For someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, I find that weird. But did you mean to write that? Or maybe there is only a typo with it? If you mean it, then maybe it is true that they are addicted and they are only avoiding it. If I'm making $600 a day, well thank you. That was a lot of money already for me. I am playing gambling up until now, but in moderation only. Although that may change, now that my earnings have also increased.

Some persons will still come here to tell us that they are gambling for fun which it is good for us to define what we really mean by gambling for fun. We are gambling for us and sometimes we all go I'm desperately to make profits and when we don't, we blame our god fathers for that inflictions against us. It is either we are gambling for the money our we are in the industry to do bonanza. Everyone wants to make money including the richest man in the world. Whether we have sufficient money or not, we'll gambling for the money not fun. Everyone wants this money so it's good when we state it clearly.

That's true, everyone could have their own personal reasons why they are gambling, some are doing this for fun, maybe just to whine away time, bordomness or loneliness as the case maybe, while we still have some people gambling for the sake of earning money from it for their survival, we have to also know the category of which we belong here, why we have chosen such and how we are best satisfied in making a conclusion on that category kind of gambler.
