Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling

[Kelward]

Loneliness can make people to become addicted to anything that will distract their minds from the cause of their being lonely, there's a whole lot of addictions, alcohol and smoking, pornography, drug, womanizing and a whole lot including gambling. They'll initially engage in this acts as a temporary measure to get over their lose, and as time goes on they'll unintentionally become fully involved and eventually addiction will kick in, and it'll be difficult for them to leave it. Even if they finally overcome the addiction it's likely that they'll find another recreation to engage in to overcome the void that the addiction that they left will cause, in the end it'll be going into another addiction to get over an addiction. So it's best for anyone that is going through loneliness to be strong and disciplined, even if they most engage in gambling or any other activities to get over the pains of loneliness, they most tell themselves that it is temporary and bounce back as soon as possible.

Loneliness, otherwise isolation is very bad because so far as you're always alone all the time there are some bad thoughts that would be running through your mind more especially if you're losing bets because sometimes you can run into depression and even make an attempt to take your own life but when you're mixed with people, maybe gamblers and you also see some persons that are also in same category with you, it makes you calm down and move on in times of challenges so basically, not only in gambling but in life, being too isolated is a bad attitude that can ruin ones life in a lifetime so no matter what you're experiencing or going through, loneliness isn't the best option.

Sometimes taking a little bit of time to be on your own can be a good thing as we also need our space from time to time, but if this is something we encounter continuously then it can easily affect us as well, in view of this we need to keep a balance between both postures, and try to spend some time with the company of other people, but also take the time to be on our own as this is the best approach that we can take for our personal development.

Having that balance will allow you to cope up with loneliness, it's not an easy task though as we know that it can triggered depressions
but we should not resort ourselves to something that may cause more problem in life.

If we can find ways to stay surrounded by people we love or find something that will eliminate that loneliness.

In a short run, maybe gambling can bring you a temporary entertainment but resorting to this venue, it would be an easy way also to
trigger addiction, as sooner or later you will find yourself interpreting addiction as only part of your entertainment.

I think it really depends on what they want and what they will choose to do when they are in a lonely situation, after all for someone who has never gambled for example it is unlikely that they will immediately think of gambling when they are in a lonely situation, It is more likely that they will play online games on their gadgets and not include gambling or call one of their friends to accompany them, and for people who choose to engage in gambling I think they have previously tried gambling and on the other hand I think their goal is not only to seek pleasure but also with curiosity based on a victory, such as pitting their luck on luck.

So I think it's about choice, after all there are many other activities that can be entertaining but without risk, such as playing the games I mentioned above or maybe watching a netflix series to fill their empty time.

Yes, if in the end they have to allocate their time to gambling then addiction does not happen immediately because everything will go gradually, it requires a change in mindset and point of view first and if this activity is done in the long run every time they feel lonely then obviously in the end addiction is something they will definitely experience.

People who say they are comfortable in their own company are only deceiving themselves. If you check well, they are lonely and have gotten themselves attached to one form of routine that gives them this self satisfaction they would have gotten if they were in the company of friends and families. It is very okay finding a form of remedy or distraction for loneliness. It becomes a problem if this activity they have gotten themselves attached to makes them even more isolated and begins to have a negative impact on them.  It is even better not making any efforts to break out of loneliness at all. If a lonely person decides to turn to gambling, he might eventually get addicted if that is the only activity that gives him this feeling of satisfaction and attention.

Most times, the best remedy for loneliness is talking to someone,  someone who can help you break out of it. At least if the cause of the loneliness is known,  help can come.  Trying to help yourself by getting involve in a particular activity most times leads to addiction.

It is that something or an entertainment that Implies that a lot of money will be spent is not good, doing things for the sake of doing them just because we feel alone is not the way out that should be taken, in this case things must be very emphatic and take them the way we want. It is more correct, this thing about playing sports , or going out and sharing with other people, I say it because it is very easy to make friends, I have made many friends worldwide thanks to soccer, with other sports as a contact too, but if it is necessary to have an experience Previously, in the football casino it has helped me a lot over the years, because football unites, wherever you go if you play Football that is good, but there are also other sports that are not so demanding, some practice We cycle, other athletics, which I find very demanding, epro are individual Sports that have a high level , which sometimes seems too difficult for me to do because it requires great effort and dedication, but it is a way to get ahead and not feel only.

Well, a clear example is a Cousin I have, her daughter died at around 14 years old from blood cancer, which was very hard, and she and her husband had a very bad time, in fact for 1 year, where they went to the cemetery every day to visit her and so much was what they were doing that sometimes the Eronsa saw that girl next to them , many got Scared , because if they cried for her so much, well, I don't know, maybe her spirit. She did not rest in peace , that Usually happens , and even they felt in their own house as if the girl were living there. In fact, a girl her Age stayed in her room one day and felt when the girl told her Why did she stay at home now when she was alive , right ? That was something impressive, then they took athletics as a way of life to get out of that pain, from that loneliness, currently everything is just days that I see running by in different places , and with many more People.

I think there are many things that can be done not to gamble when lonely, because even though they have enough money they can do many things besides gambling and there are also other things that are fun but don't require money to do it, but that's their own choice even though they don't have enough money to gamble. If gambling has occurred to them when they are lonely then chances are they will do it, by making an effort so they can do it.

Your story is impressive, and could be a good example of loneliness, because he took it out on athletics,  of course that's a good thing, because not only is it a good choice, but it can provide health for them and can also potentially make them successful in the future.

Many things will come when a lonely person has nothing to do, and if he can't control himself, maybe he will try one by one to find out which one can make him interested in doing it longer. And if he returns to it the next day and doesn't do anything else, he can still do it again another day. That's why if someone is lonely, they should be able to fill their days by looking for activities that can keep them busy and not imagining things that might have been memories of them in the past. And if he has memories of gambling, maybe he will start gambling or he will contact his friends who used to gamble with him. And that was a bad start for him because he could become addicted to gambling.

A person may have different preferences. It is not just that he becomes addicted to gambling if he is alone. Because not everyone has the same addiction. I think they have a habit of doing that when they are alone. Accordingly a gambler may choose gambling to spend his idle time. But it is not the case that he will become a gambling addict if he is alone. Gamblers must take steps on their own to get rid of any addiction. If alone he indulges in all those addictive activities then he must be with others. Self-awareness should be kept by oneself otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of addiction.

There is nothing loneliness can not do, it can make us to do undo and involve ourselves in something that is not going to affect us positively in the future. We need to make sure that we deal with loneliness and involve ourselves in something that is profitable so that we are not going to become desperate or do things without thorough thinking. We can involve ourselves in so many things to make sure that we are not lonely so that we don't ignorantly involve ourselves with something that is going to cause problem for us in the future.

Loneliness is very serious. I think if a person thinks that he is thinking about loneliness too much then he will be very weak mentally. There are some people who sometimes take up some bad addictions from gambling to other to relieve loneliness.  Gets involved in their own ignorance. After getting involved in this kind of addiction, they have to face many problems to get out of it. Loneliness makes a person very weak and can also ruin his life.

Loneliness will get you to drink, smoke, and gamble, this three are always connected and will bring you down, once you get hook, while you get addicted you will sell your properties , and the moment you realize it its already gone, I have seen in the news in our country a person who lost in casino and get addicted to it, raided the casino where he plays, but killed himself during the process maybe he can't take it anymore of the pain that he is feeling during those times.

But I agree more about this to go back to each person because in my opinion personally who feels lonely cannot be blamed in someone's gambling behavior, this goes back to yourself, whether it uses lonely time for smoking, gambling or other things it depends on how you want to use your time. For example, you can exercise, play video games, study and things like that can make your mind more occupied in your empty time.

People who use their loneliness to gamble, it will be a fatal mistake that can have negative consequences for themselves because usually loneliness will take away a person's range of logic to use satisfaction in himself and will not stop before getting the satisfaction he needs.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Some of us will only want to use loneliness to distract ourselves and take advantage of that as the reason to displaying our personal attitude of addiction, if we are having a modest kind of a behavior through how we lived our life, we would not have taken advantage in doing something and engage doing otherwise, when you're idle, get yourself busy and not to get addicted while at the course of doing that.

Some people can't fight loneliness though. Especially the ones who have money and are used to spending them. If before her/his loneliness she/he was a party person or woman who spends the money of her husband thru shopping, she is used to spending money and she will spend money just to feel not so lonely. There are many cases of women who are loved by their husbands but turn out to become lonely in the end since the husbands are busy all the time on business trips.

I struggled to understand where you are driving to, but I think I finally did understand  .
And based on that which I understand, I would say that what you said is actually right, when bored, people tend to find what could uplift their spirit and engage them self in it, and it's not like this is a bad thing to do, but then, I think over dependence on such thing, like doing the same stuff over and over and over every day, is most people tend to get addicted to such a thing.

This is why it is constantly advised that we should never be too dependent on gambling, and when we do gamble, we should not do it for a very long time like spending several hours gambling.

On a normal level, one should not spend more than 1 hour gambling in a day, and not more than 3  to 4 times a week, this way, people will get to have time for other activities that is not gambling related, and with this practise, there will always be a balance between gambling and other activities in the brain.
But over dependence on gambling, like gambling almost all the time leaves the brain thinking about nothing else other than gambling, and soon, the brain will get used to thinking of nothing else other than gambling, and when one arrive at this level, it simply means that, addiction have set in.

On the time that we are really that lonely then we would really be just normally be finding things on which it would really be able to ease out that kind of emotion on which we know that it is really just that something temporal on which it would really be that part of human instinct that you would really be looking into the things on which it could really be able to weep out that loneliness that you are really that experiencing into.
Some could really be just be able to handle it well when it comes to gambling but its true that this isnt really just that limited on gambling alone but also in other potential things that they could really be making themselves that addicted. You cant really just that make yourself that engaged into something if you arent really that being lonely.

Its a personal choice to be made on which not all people would really be that mindful in regarding about their actions whether it would really be beneficial or something that
could bring out some disaster.

That is what lonely people do; they become devoted to one item in order to get away with something. There is no worse addiction than gambling. If those who are addicted learn to go out, they will be able to quickly overcome their addiction. And sometimes the companionship of the individuals you work with is very important. And sometimes the company of the people you work with is quite significant. While I am not opposed to gambling, you can see how addictions such as smoking and drinking may harm anyone's health. Addiction begins gradually, but when it has eaten deep into someone, it is the beginning of a major problem, so when you cross the line, you should start warning yourself that it will cause you a lot of trouble. And it is always tough to overcome addiction since even after receiving treatment, some people relapse. Addiction is more serious than we realize, and the consequences are often severe.

Loneliness is eating deep into most people's lives psychologically, and they need to hang out with friends or neighbors in their environment. However, not everyone possesses the social skills needed to associate with people close to them. Emotional troubles also lead to loneliness, when people think nobody else is there for them. Hence for a gambler or a person who is lonely and uses gambling to keep himself busy, he needs to maintain the same control not to get addicted. Not only do lonely people get addicted, but those with roommates and friends around them can be addicted to gambling. The main disadvantage of loneliness is that it could lead a nongambler to begin playing games, and he wouldn't have the necessary information needed before joining the gambling niche. In such a case, the player can get addicted, as he's somehow not emotionally stable, and maybe experienced a failed relationship, so gambling cautiously would be difficult for him.

Because one part of his brain that's meant to be associating with loved ones or friends, is not being utilized often, the person wouldn't have the control anymore to stop gambling. As he wouldn't know what else to do if he stopped gambling. Addiction can be gotten due to loneliness, yes, but the gambler needs to take the blame for not going out to look around and have fun with humans. However, society is getting lonely each day, everyone focusing on social media, which has made our environment less fun, and we hardly see people who would discuss at length with us without peeping through their phones. And most people with some kind of addiction, said they don't want to disturb anybody. That means they would think visiting a friend could be inconveniencing the person, hence they prefer staying all alone indoors, spending time on their addiction; gambling, movies, etc. Idleness is not good for the brain, sometimes reading could help, but hanging out solves most problems of addiction or even visiting people in another city. Life is too short to be made boring.

[Fortify]

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.

It might not be what first gets people interested in gambling - that might happen on a night out with friends or even just buying a scratch off lottery ticket that happens to win a few bucks. That the hook that really takes people in, giving them a taste of money and introducing the illusion that they can win much larger amounts than their bet each time. Loneliness is one thing that might draw them back, the second, the third and all the other times after they've been introduced to it and depending on how greedy they are. Boredom can affect people in all sorts of ways, one of which is finding entertainment like this which requires spending a constant stream of money which often starts to ignore the underlying idea that you were trying to win big and just becomes habitual.

I agree, loneliness can make people addicted to anything and they do it to distract their mind, to forget the pain even for a short time. Once you're hooked on what you're doing, it's hard to get rid of it, so you really need to be strong, you must still be in the right mindset. It's okay to call a friend in this situation because they are the only ones who can really help you and they can also guide you if you end up in the wrong place.

If someone who previously used to gamble to pour out loneliness by gambling they will do the same thing when they feel gambling gives pleasure to loneliness approaching them and gambling will always be their alternative choice when feeling lonely, this will go back to habit in my opinion and the influence of the environment, when two people feel lonely or bored and one of their friends is a gambler then both will do gambling to cover the loneliness.

I don't think it's about the benefits, because if you look at the benefits, gambling can indeed relieve someone's loneliness, but we are talking about the impact, when experiencing loneliness someone will be more arrogant in gambling and potentially gambling excessively.

Many things will come when a lonely person has nothing to do, and if he can't control himself, maybe he will try one by one to find out which one can make him interested in doing it longer. And if he returns to it the next day and doesn't do anything else, he can still do it again another day. That's why if someone is lonely, they should be able to fill their days by looking for activities that can keep them busy and not imagining things that might have been memories of them in the past. And if he has memories of gambling, maybe he will start gambling or he will contact his friends who used to gamble with him. And that was a bad start for him because he could become addicted to gambling.

Lonely people will always do many things and try them one by one to find what activities can give them pleasure or eliminate boredom.
They look for various activities that they have never even done before and of course there are lots things they can try out curiosity.
And when they discover gambling activities, I sure that addiction and feelings of curiosity will continue to be the end of the story, gambling always has an impact on addiction, especially for novice gamblers who cannot have the right mindset and good control.
Just look at the many novice gamblers who enter the circle of gambling addiction, they use various methods to continue gambling even though they are just losse.
From this it can be concluded that anyone who starts gambling for any purpose without control and good mindset then they have enormous potential to become gambling addict.

Maybe if the gambler is hopeless and alone in life, it is possible that he will become an addict in the future. But of course, if he still knows how to control himself, it's possible that he doesn't need to lead to addiction, in my opinion.

But there is a higher chance of actually having an addiction here, especially since it can provide good help to him, starting with emotions and problems that can be relieved by playing gambling.

[MainIbem]

There is no connection between loneliness and gambling except that person is already a gambler then he can utilized the opportunity of being lone to start gambling more or making some random deposit to his account to constantly keep gambling. Sometimes is from mindset what you think of is what mostly come into mind, and I don't see any reason why someone wife will leave him and he turns himself into gambling addiction instead of becoming a drunker or smoker because these two things are easily being triggered by loneliness and not becoming an addicted gambler.

Lonely people will always do many things and try them one by one to find what activities can give them pleasure or eliminate boredom.
They look for various activities that they have never even done before and of course there are lots things they can try out curiosity.
And when they discover gambling activities, I sure that addiction and feelings of curiosity will continue to be the end of the story, gambling always has an impact on addiction, especially for novice gamblers who cannot have the right mindset and good control.
Just look at the many novice gamblers who enter the circle of gambling addiction, they use various methods to continue gambling even though they are just losse.
From this it can be concluded that anyone who starts gambling for any purpose without control and good mindset then they have enormous potential to become gambling addict.

That is if they realize that they need more activities to kill their loneliness because if not, they will not be able to overcome their loneliness. And yes, gambling can kill their loneliness, but they can also get addicted to gambling sooner or later, so they should not go near gambling if they don't want to get addicted to gambling. They can call their friends to visit them so they have someone to chat with or do something with. It can also kill his loneliness so he won't think about things like gambling, and instead, he can have interesting ideas to try with his friend. And yes, lonely people must have a positive mindset so they don't get dragged into something negative because everything can happen quickly without realizing it. When he enters the gambling circle, he will see that gambling is something fun that can make him want to continue gambling. If he uses a demo account, that's fine, but if he decides to deposit his money to have a different experience, that will be the start of problems for him. So lonely people should be careful in choosing their activities so they don't fall into gambling.
