Loneliness not only leads us to become gambling addicts, but it depends on the environment we live in, the environment and the friends we have, it will affect our lives indirectly if we are lonely.

That's true, the environment also helps to lead us to gambling addiction, when you are lonely and the place where you at are composed of many
gambler, it influences you to try and find that entertainment inside casino.

It's helping to develop more interest in playing the game and give you more time to keep coming back, and from that scenario you already
find the comfort and that's the possible start of gambling addiction.

You need to take into account that aside from the emotion that being filled the environment also helps to keep you playing for more.

It's true, it can influence us, but if we have good thoughts maybe that won't happen, like if we have bad views and thoughts about gambling, where we know that gambling will only make us spend a lot money in vain and that means we can refrain from gambling. because you already know the big risks that will occur if you choose gambling.
I think their initial addiction was because they misinterpreted gambling, where they thought they could make money quickly just by gambling. and the other side is that if we have a lot of friends who like to gamble then it is indeed likely that we can be influenced, unless we have strong self-control then it is likely that we will not be influenced by gambling even though we have an environment that is very close to gambling.

It is very dangerous if someone keeps shutting themselves away, not wanting to meet other people, which causes anxiety and can make someone gamble, but with this anxiety, someone can become very aggressive or can get bad things like addiction, and on the one hand, someone who just spends their time alone. It's not very good for your health and it's better to look for other activities to prevent yourself from doing bad things like gambling too much or even becoming a gambling addict because you often vent your loneliness in gambling.
Actually, loneliness is just about how we can overcome it and there are lots of positive activities that don't have to involve loneliness and gambling.
Thinking more maturely might be one way to get rid of the desire to gamble when you are lonely.

Can't force those people to just meet someone when they are not really open to doing that. It's easy to just enjoy and mistakenly think it's gambling or taking drugs to cure boredom. It's not the cure obviously but it helps the person to occupy their minds other than doing something silly like hanging themselves to death.

Curiosity they say can cure boredom and loneliness but making the lonely person initiate something can be challenging. It's best to just leave it to the professionals.

Loneliness can lead to anxiety and dangerous actions. I've observed this worrying tendency too.

When played carefully, it may be a fun game of chance that adds spice to life! A little flutter in a controlled atmosphere excites me. Balance and self-awareness matter. Gambling becomes fun when time and money are limited.

You're right - diversity is important in the big picture. Expanding our horizons, hobbies, socializing, or even soul-nourishing solo pursuits can be quite rewarding. Not just distractions, these are steps to a more balanced life. How about overcoming loneliness? To find connection, we must first recognize our need and then take little, meaningful measures.

Naturally, making friends and altering our daily routines and habits are necessary if we wish to get over our loneliness. For example, make friends who are sympathetic to your efforts to keep away from excessive gambling and who can relate to your goals.

You can, for example, engage in any social activity and develop new interests outside of gambling. This can be anything from joining community organizations to sports teams to clubs; by doing so, you can broaden your list of connections and interests.

We must educate ourselves on the dangers and repercussions of gambling addiction. You might be inspired to look for healthier social connection options if you realize the detrimental effects it can have on your life.

The environment are two ways; living around gamblers, and staying alone, but thinks about gambling. The later describes the thread. A situation where a gambler is not comfortable staying idle and decides to engage into gambling. Without having prior research on how it works. Negligence does more harm to anybody, but the gamblers have tougher harsh reward for not doing their research. In the sense that the person, who new engages in gambling out of heartbreak or failed relationship can easily get compulsive in gambling. So, loneliness in this context indeed effects to addiction. Newbie gamblers need to understand what they're practicing, before indulging into it. But the lonely person is exempted, since his only fault was thinking about gambler, he had nobody to guide or discuss about gambling. Their experience is quite a difficult one to threat.

we will all have different views on the situation of loneliness, maybe now we can only advise them with the aim of leading a better direction, we will never understand how true loneliness is if we never feel the real thing at all, no matter what we say it depends on a person's personality and the environment they live in, some people who are lucky in a healthy environment will carry out positive activities and some people who are in a healthy environment can easily get involved in nightlife, gambling, drugs and so on.

That is why if someone feels lonely, he must immediately find a way to get rid of it, and he may need to meet some of the people closest to him and tell them about it. Sometimes, someone needs the presence of other people in their life to share stories and get ideas about what to do. They can get an idea to do something to get rid of their loneliness so that they can vent their loneliness through that activity. They will get rid of their loneliness by always doing lots of activities, especially activities to meet lots of people. They won't get bored quickly when doing something because they always do it with other people, which will also provide entertainment for them. And by doing that activity, they will not think about gambling because they already get happiness by doing other activities. The more often they do these activities, the more they feel they are no longer lonely because many things await them so they can enjoy life like other people.

Well for starters loneliness can cause so many things, I mean it's just like a popular saying in my part which implies loneliness or an idle mind is the devil workshop which to Some extend is quite true . So yesterday I was really bored and didn't exactly even know what to do so I was just trying out things that would keep my mind occupied and all of a sudden my friend told me that he is also bored that he has some pair cash that the gambling house would be a perfect place to go and atleast have some fun since the cash isn't having any significant value and that was how loneliness and boredom took to go play some game of card which if you ask can really cause someone to be addicted if not control.

And this means that in order to avoid this happening to us we need to develop a new set of hobbies, since this will take our minds away from engaging in dangerous behaviors, and what is funny about all of this is that if a person did it then not only they will alleviate their boredom, but most likely they will end their loneliness as well, as with so many interesting things you do, you will find other people that will like to share their time with you.

[EarnOnVictor]

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.

Absolutely it can develop such habit.Not only when you are lonely but most of the time when you feel sad from the events of your life like in this case which is a major blow when your wife leaves you no matter that we as men make jokes about our wife in reality it hurts to live without them most of the cases.

Loneliness can only increase the sadness from the events of your life and thus people tend to find relief in alcohol,whores and gambling with this last one being the most dangerous of all together with the first one alcohol.When you go with whores as long as you keep protection nothing bad happens  .

Yes loneliness can be one of the factor due to which a gambler may become addicted to gambling. A person who is alone has no one with him to talk about , or to spend the time and therefore he will try to engage himself with something which is available to him easily and the only thing that comes into the mind is gambling.

Since there is no one available to him for counselling or for any advice and he will continue to gamble all day long or all time when he is alone and therefore he can easily become addicted.

Agree. Loneliness is just one of the options that can cause a person to become addicted to gambling or something else. But it is possible that even if he had many friends and something unpleasant happened in his life, for example, his girlfriend left him, then it is likely that he would also start doing something bad, for example gambling, not counting it's entertainment.
You said that there is no one around and no one to advise. But it is not a fact that if someone were nearby, the person would listen to him and do the opposite, rather than play. Often in such a psychological state people do not hear others

As simple as loneliness could be called or viewed, it is so devastating if the person is not careful about handling it. We should always stop loneliness from the beginning especially if we know that it is causing us to do more than what we should do when it comes to engaging in our hobbies more often, this is a sign that things are getting wrong and we should make a change that will in turn actively change the narrative. In gambling, it might be the worst part, though many other things can cause gambling addiction apart from loneliness, and I must say that I know many people who are not physically lonely but are so addicted to gambling still, and are even wasting money on it because it shows clearly that they are not making money from gambling judging by their way of living.

For such people, they might lose but still have people around them who can keep them going even without slipping into a depression since they have people to talk to, and friends to drink with, and before they know it, they would have forgotten that they have lost, or almost forgotten it because, at times, it will not be easily let go. But for loneliness, it is devastating in loss, no one to talk to you or cheer you up, that makes it
even worse. This could lead to depression easily if care is not taken and if the person bets with the amount he can't afford to lose, maybe specifically with the money entrusted to him, or even worse. This is why some would even have some bad thoughts that I don't need to mention here which makes it worse than all causes of addictions combined because it is you alone, so you have to face the darkness all alone.

That's very true friend, I agree with you that in any case the first thing that must be addressed is the root of the problem, as you said and you give good advice that if we want to avoid several actions that could possibly lead to dangerous activities then Obviously the main point that must be justified is to eliminate the feeling of loneliness within oneself. I understand that some people are unemployed and don't know what they should do to avoid feeling lonely, but with the alternative of looking for a new hobby, this can be  considered, even though we are unemployed and don't have a job, but as long as we can still move, I think there's no harm in Do something else instead of locking yourself in your room where in the end there is great potential for you to think about trying your luck at gambling. In my opinion, we will not have too much difficulty taking any preventative measures if we are aware from the start and can identify the dangerous impacts of something like  gambling..

Hmm, so loneliness or boredom made the spark to start gambling? That could be true.
I mean, when there's really nothing to do we might think about entertaining ourselves and gambling could be one of the options to have a little fun. Like the grandmothers living in a rural area at the place of my wife. They sit around playing cards at noon after they do all the house chores. They have nothing else to do so they will play that game until almost evening or near dinner time because they will need to be back home to cook food for the family.
So yes, I agree that boredom could really make someone addicted to gambling because according to my wife, they have been doing that card gambling for years and they don't miss it. That became a bad habit and I was actually curious about where they are getting the money because it's not like they win in streaks, there could be a losing streak, and the question of if they can still afford it sticks in my mind.
There are times they will even lie to their family when they call, telling them that they ain't gambling or playing cards but just at home sitting. Well, I don't blame them. Living in rural places may be really boring.

A lonely person looking out for some hobby can begin by trekking around his town and seeing new faces. It helps in building stamina and relaxes the emotions. Staying alone without doing anything, is quite a luxury, but it affects the thoughts of the person. And if the person is a gambler, he'd have a hard time controlling himself from gambling. Since, he's actually in the search for what to do, hence gambling would be the only option in the presence of no other activity. So, loneliness in most senses like what Op explained in his thread could affect the gambler's thoughts, and only the long run even if he wasn't a gambler can begin to gamble. There, his troubles may erupt, and he'd be wondering over what his new lifestyle has become.

And without any experience of gambling wouldn't want to share his trouble with people around him, I mean he's lonely nobody to talk to in the first place. That's quite a tough situation to be in as human. Not having friends around us to communicate our troubles or problems to. Speaking out the problem to someone else almost starts to solve the problem. But in a case of no help, I think the person would need to look out for a place where he'd get proper treatment. As staying indoors won't solve any problem for the person. Instead, it'll increase the trouble for the gambler to a difficult stage. Other things like heartbreak leads to loneliness and then gambling addiction. Having a companion or being a relationship can help a gambler who is lonely to escape addiction. We must not sitback at home and watch gambling addiction win the fight.

Some persons always decide to gamble to prevent them to getting too lonely at times. We don't have to choose that part because we can always look for a better way we can deal with loneliness without even thinking of gambling.
I have so many friends that are addicted to gaming and they would not mind playing games everyday just to keep loneliness aside.
There are different things we can do for ourselves that would keep us business if we are less busy without going fully into gambling because we want to deal with loneliness. Gambling is not supposed to be everyday even though we don't have a job. There are times when we can choose to relax and catch some fresh air.

IMO, maybe we can sort out the main cases like in this thread and like what you said in your post. not infrequently, when we feel lonely, we assume we have a lot of free time, are lazy about doing activities and so on. there is no problem, if someone decides to gamble and solve his loneliness. for me personally, there is nothing wrong with that. in fact, sometimes I do. Likewise with other gamblers, what I say can most likely be our shared experience. I mean, for gamblers. well, the problem is, like the case told in this thread. when someone is looking for an outlet for his loneliness, he chooses to gamble. Unfortunately, someone can be lulled and carried away by the atmosphere, which eventually becomes a habit to divert their feelings of loneliness, especially when they are in an unstable psychological condition. In this phase, a person needs moral support, so that he can overcome his loneliness and gamble only according to his portion.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what you say, but we also have to look at the context. perhaps, someone just wants to spend a few dollars gambling. then, looking for other entertainment after feeling that the gambling session is no longer fun. the point is, try not to gamble when you are in an unstable condition, not try to find a diversion for the chaos that occurs in the problems you are facing, or so on. Well, one example of the impact is like the case OP described in this thread. but when we really need instant entertainment, especially when we are lonely, all of that is fine. the most important thing is to stay focused only on finding entertainment for the loneliness we experience at that time. and never forget, always remember that we have certain limits to end a gambling session if it is no longer entertaining, let alone fun.

It is true that loneliness and isolation might increase the risk of problem gambling. One argument is that when individuals are lonely, they may resort to gambling to fill a hole or feel more connected.
