Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling

[Doan9269]

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.

Yes, this is the reality, everyone has their own reasons and conditions why they get into gambling. Many people are even addicted to gambling because their environment and cycle are gamblers. And they also can't control each other's emotions, in fact many of them because of pride or other things that encourage them to gamble again and again, without thinking twice about what has happened to them at that time.

And like lonely people, this also does not rule out the possibility that it will happen. Usually they are unable to express what they are experiencing to other people. So one way is to gamble, especially if it is online gambling, then it will be easier for the person to get involved in gambling. When someone has been trapped into gambling continuously and they don't have an environmental cycle that supports them to be able to control themselves and their emotions and prevent them from becoming addicted, then it will be easier for them to contract gambling addiction. But once again, this may not be generalized to all people who experience loneliness.

Well, technology has increased a lot in recent years, we know very well what it can do and the scope that applied technology can have so that people do not feel alone, it is something that I could see, loneliness is a symbol, It is a state where the person wants to feel or does not want to feel alone, because for example I see loneliness in this moment as an option to do what I want, in the case that I am alone it is like that, a single life is something that is very incredible I say this because I lived it, the fact of being responsible for my own life was something unique, now however, I have many commitments with the family, my children and the truth is that in this situation I have no intention of returning to being like this, And that's another thing, in this case loneliness is for people who want to be alone, because it is something, it is a condition to feel and want to be alone, it is something that can be very relevant as far as a person wants to see it, in my case I see it like this, and gambling, casinos, are something that can be seen as a part of us that sometimes live.


Would games of chance be potential companions? Only if we want it, games can be just entertainment, if the person sees it like that, it is just entertainment, it is the only thing it can be, in seven order of ideas we could see things like that, but there are people who do. You want to see the casino as a way to avoid feeling alone, it is something I do not recommend, unless you are a person totally focused on what you have, on what you do and on everything you can do, this is according to what people You can choose, but to not feel alone there are other things you can do , look for friends, a girlfriend, someone you want to accompany at certain times, at Christmas, your children, all of that can help Address the need to not feel alone, it's just What I can do or say in case a person avoids being addicted.

Yes that's right, there are many other things they can do with today's technological advances, lonely people will do what they think even if it's just a passing thought but it allows them to do it. And also with today's technological advances that can make it easier for everyone to reach gambling, such as through the internet, someone who is lonely may not be able to be far from his cellphone also they must more or less see gambling advertisements on the internet and this will also attract them especially when lonely they can be easily attracted because in gambling there is a sensation that they can feel themselves. But apart from that, lonely people can also do what they want like other things that are more beneficial to themselves, this sense of being alone does not allow them not to do something, of course in their minds there are things they want to do, whatever it is, I myself when I am lonely I want to walk aimlessly, because I think it can reduce stress, whether other people will agree or not with what I say, they also have their own thoughts to do something when lonely.

Would games of chance be potential companions? Only if we want it, games can be just entertainment, if the person sees it like that, it is just entertainment, it is the only thing it can be, in seven order of ideas we could see things like that, but there are people who do.

I don't think so, because it's not recommended like that, it's better to make it just for entertainment like what you said. I myself do not recommend it like that because it is not a good thing that can make them nervous someday. So I myself have a preference for walking when lonely as I said above, Maybe what you said is true, find a friend or girlfriend to have a chat with a glass of coffee to warm up the atmosphere, and they can do that to not feel alone anymore.  There are also many other things that they can do when they are lonely not only by gambling, so as much as possible they should avoid something they don't want, because if by gambling it can harm them themselves,  I myself do not recommend when someone is lonely to take steps to gamble, They can still find friends to accompany their loneliness and to eliminate their desire to gamble So when they are lonely they are not advised to gamble, it would be better to do something more useful.

People who play gambling all have their own goals and of course their goals will be different. I myself play gambling in all the categories you mentioned, for fun, yes, when I'm lonely, yes, and of course I ultimately want to win the game so I can get money. I think everyone gambles because of that, the only difference is those who can't control themselves so they become addicted. This is wrong and should be avoided as far as possible.

Addiction can occur from thought patterns and habits, so when playing gambling we must be able to manage time and must separate the money that needs to be spent on gambling so that even when we lose we don't feel too disappointed which makes us want to play again in the hope of taking back the money we lost. .

I believe that most people are into gambling because they want to earn huge amount of money by trying their luck and at the same time they want to enjoy each win that they have. It's basically a fun activity for them that could earn them money if their luck is good and that's the reason why most players place bets.

You're right there can be a few people who want to get rid of boredom and loneliness and that's why they place bets in their favorite games in order to have some relax and enjoyable memories. But, it's a fact that if someone plays a lot and gives most of his/her time playing those games can get addicted to those games and then the fun part will be lost.

When someone to be lonely he will fell very much comfortable with gambling. I personally prefer a secluded place when gambling because gambling in those places gives me the opportunity to gamble as I wish. And since gambling can be done according to my wish in that state, there is a high chance of becoming addicted. If I comment from my point of view then of course being alone increases the chances of gambling addiction but not all cases are the same. Many people can gamble in any situation keeping them under control and those who are addicted even if they gamble in the crowd they become addicted there. It totally depends on yourself. To control this addiction one must avoid excessive gambling and the desire to get more money from gambling.

Your opinion is correct, gambling will be beneficial for lonely people. By carrying out gambling activities, someone will be entertained by the games they play. If you gamble in a quiet place, you will focus more on each game because nothing is distracting your mind, and you will enjoy it. However, on the one hand, you may not be able to control yourself well because you feel free to gamble and from that freedom you will play continuously or excessively so that you will actually experience losses.
Yes, that's right, excessive gambling will make someone addicted to gambling and we must prevent or avoid this behavior with good self-control, so that it doesn't have a bad impact on our lives later.

The setting in of addiction is something we may not be aware of sometimes until you are already addicted, this is why it's important to put in strategy to manage our resources and time we dedicate to gambling so it doesn't turn out to hurt us before we come to the realization.

We may have varring reason for which we engage in gambling but when ever we turn addicts, these reasons may turn out not justifiable enough for our actions, but if we keep track of how well we engage in gambling, this includes our budgets, time, and other resources we may commit to gambling, it will help a long way to mitigate the effects if it turns out against us, a typical example is if you stake an amount you can comfortably loose on a particular game, if it turns out in loss you will still be fine same applies big it turns out a win.

Yup! like you occur the symptoms without noticing it at first until you realized that you are already addicted into it. Sometimes even we advice to ourself to keep track everything so we can prevent being addicted, we can't do that once we've been in that situation as if we can't remember everything we said to ourself that things won't happen sooner. Those things that you've mentioned is very helpful to those people who stick to their goals when gamble.

Gambling has an important role for everyone who does it and it is not surprising that gambling is of great interest to many people regarding games with tempting chances of winning, and can be entertainment when you feel lonely, but the most important thing is that even though gambling provides a means of entertainment, we should not go beyond the limits. in gambling and don't spend too much money because it can cause addiction and it's true, as you said, we should be able to avoid this.

There is not much that needs to be done if we want to avoid gambling addiction behavior, that is, only by limiting money and time. If we have mastered this behavior, it will be easy for us to control ourselves and we don't need to worry if we want to gamble because we already have the key so that we don't go beyond the limits.

[wiss19]

Addiction can occur from thought patterns and habits

It's about habits, it's true. A person who has a habit of managing things very carefully will never let themselves become addicted to gambling because they will manage their bankroll and their gambling activities in a way that won't make them addicted to it but it will just be an extra activity for them which won't matter if they don't do it but if they got time and funds, they can go ahead and play a few games without the intent to earn money through it.

Most people get addicted to gambling because they are not disciplined in general in their lives or with their activities. They do things without any proper schedule or timetable, and they barely have money management skills so that they can have a separate budget for their gambling activities.

So, someone who can't decide on a budget for their gambling and follow it will barely be able to prevent themselves from getting addicted to gambling.

On many occasions the desire to do things well while having fun is not a bad idea, as long as we are aware that a casino is for fun only, then things will not go wrong, in the case of some people who see casinos as a means to be able to withdraw mone y, it is not something that is very viable, everyone can think something like that, but is it known that when it comes to things like making a better performance with respect to a solitary life? maybe, but we all know that when a person is lonely, the solution is not to go to a casino to do only that activity, it is not, just like doing only one activity, the activity is to feel alone if the person wants to be that way. , but loneliness does not mean that, loneliness is like being single, you can do whatever you want at any time, without anyone bothering you or saying anything, you can do anything, because everything you do Haa well it will be fine, that is what loneliness is about , but it is not about going to a casino and that is the only option for accompaniment.

I do not share the people who take the casino as an option to not feel alone, because it is obviously the worst idea that can occur, it is just like what they say that the casino is a means to acquire money like a job, That is to say an income, completely wrong things, and the people who do something like that, well, they are wrong because they will never be able to take it seriously, the people who do things like that do not do well, for that reason it is that when we are in casinos we should not see it as something to hold on to, whether we are alone, with family, whatever, because the only thing they will achieve is to be a completely addicted person and that is not the idea, the idea is that if you enter a casino you can win or try to win some money, and if not have fun when you lose , because there is no other option , things are like that in casinos, and people who feel alone can never give themselves over to the world of casinos, nor to drugs, or alcohol to feel Accompanied.

So someone who is lonely can do whatever they like, as long as it doesn't harm others it doesn't matter. just look at the development of technology today, where now there are a lot of online gambling circulating also with only cellphones, we can already play online gambling if we really want and also have to have money to play it, which is true if you don't have money to want to gamble. This makes it easy for everyone to access it, especially now that everyone's greatness cannot be far from their cellphones, wherever they carry their cellphones because it might be important too, then added to the online gambling advertisements that are in every application and website so it makes it easier for them to get to know online gambling. If they are very curious, they might try it when they are lonely. Because at this time it is very easy to access it only with a cellphone.

It is not recommended for them to do gambling when they are lonely, it is also not a good choice but it is a bad choice because it can trigger them to become addicted which can lose control and make a lot of money disappear in vain which of course this will harm themselves in the future. So they should do other things that are more useful, because if by gambling they can become addicted and this is not what is wanted.

[tsaroz]

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.

I can relate to it. I'd not call it being addicted as it's upto the individuals will power if they get addicted or not.
But being lonely increases my chances of gambling. A person who have tasted the thrill of gambling would deviate towards it when they are alone and have nothing to do.
Introverts are likely to gamble more (time). The desire even more amplifies when I'm sad. Don't if it's his gambling habit that made his wife left. But last week when I had an online disagreement with my wife who stays 500 miles (literally) away for work, I gambled whole night.

You are right because his previous gambling experience can make him remember what things made him interested in gambling in the first place. Maybe he will have the desire to repeat the past just to reminisce, but that could be a trigger for him to return to gambling again. Someone who feels lonely can use gambling to relieve stress or frustration so that they don't feel sad anymore. But in reality, he can become more stressed or more frustrated if he loses. And if he returns to gambling just because of stress or frustration, it will be dangerous for him because it probably won't take much time for him to become addicted to gambling. He must be able to release his stress to other things and if he is lonely, he must try to find activities around him that can make him more active and not feel lonely.

[gabbie2010]

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.

I believe that most people are into gambling because they want to earn huge amount of money by trying their luck and at the same time they want to enjoy each win that they have.

But, it's a fact that if someone plays a lot and gives most of his/her time playing those games can get addicted to those games and then the fun part will be lost.

Personally I am into gambling not to win a jackpot or earn huge money, I gamble for fun just to earn some extra funds thus I only gamble with small amount of money the amount of money I can afford to lose, I am a soccer fan and enthusiast so my area of interest is on soccer betting I bet with small odds of 2.00 to 4.00 thus staking small money to earn a double digit profit, of course it has nothing to do with my loneliness because most matches are played during weekends except occasionally during midweek when there are UCL matches therefore being lonely can never prompt me to engage in gambling activities there are other things that can keep me busy like learning how to trade, reading articles etc.

[lienfaye]

When someone to be lonely he will fell very much comfortable with gambling. I personally prefer a secluded place when gambling because gambling in those places gives me the opportunity to gamble as I wish. And since gambling can be done according to my wish in that state, there is a high chance of becoming addicted. If I comment from my point of view then of course being alone increases the chances of gambling addiction but not all cases are the same. Many people can gamble in any situation keeping them under control and those who are addicted even if they gamble in the crowd they become addicted there. It totally depends on yourself. To control this addiction one must avoid excessive gambling and the desire to get more money from gambling.

Indeed. It still depends on the gambler itself because being lonely or alone are just few reasons for a person to play when they're looking for something to do. Gambling is an option to entertain ourselves or to kill time but it doesn't mean we're prone to become addicted because it still depends on how you gamble.

Even those who gamble often can't automatically classified as addicted. Because if you can still limit yourself regardless of how often you play then that means you are still in control. Those gamblers who became addicted after playing (regardless of their reason for doing so) don't have discipline. Because let's say you're just lonely that's why you play, it's not a reason to justify your action since it's your choice to not play in moderation.

I'm confused and looking for answers

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

usually, the lonely person will feel the need to get rid of that feeling of loneliness by doing activities they like, and if they are used to gambling then that will lead them to gamble more because I have experienced this but it will be different if they are not someone who is used to gambling then he will do other activities that are his favorite so he doesn't feel lonely, that's why it's quite important to have a hobby so that when we feel lonely we can divert with that hobby and not lead us to gamble more.

Personally I am into gambling not to win a jackpot or earn huge money, I gamble for fun just to earn some extra funds thus I only gamble with small amount of money the amount of money I can afford to lose, I am a soccer fan and enthusiast so my area of interest is on soccer betting I bet with small odds of 2.00 to 4.00 thus staking small money to earn a double digit profit, of course it has nothing to do with my loneliness because most matches are played during weekends except occasionally during midweek when there are UCL matches therefore being lonely can never prompt me to engage in gambling activities there are other things that can keep me busy like learning how to trade, reading articles etc.

That's the right way to gamble, when you gamble for entertainment, you won't be pressured to gamble when you don't want to. Gambling for entertainment always makes gambling fun and that's how gambling is meant to be and not  a must do activity. Loneliness shouldn't make you start gambling as that'll make you addicted very quickly due to been lonely sometimes during the day. When you're feeling lonely, go out and do others things and not gambling.

Any individual that's the type that gets lonely very quickly, he can learn how to trade like you wrote or learn how to use his time to make money from the internet. When you're making money you can't be lonely and you'll not have to gamble for money as many gambling are doing which is what's making them to lose money, when you're already making money from other sources that are consistent then you can gambling for entertainment and you will enjoy it as well
