Do you care about what people say about you gambling?

[Mauser]

This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?

Let's discuss amicably

No, I don't care anymore what people that I don't know well or don't have much contact with think about me. If it's a family member or a good friend, then things are different and I value  their opinion much more. Your situation is understandable and when I was younger I probably would have similar reaction. It was really important for me what strangers thought of me and I would spend a lot of time and money trying to fit in. But once you get older you realize how many different people there are in the world and everybody has its own ideas. There will always be people who dislike our actions and we shouldn't give too much value to them. Something I always myself when hearing other people giving their opinion about my action is what do I have to gain from listening to them? The people don't really know me and only have a very small insight into my life. Worst case and you feel like you can't blend out other people's opinion, you can always try and be more secretative about your gambling. For example, I only gamble at home in the evenings at home and if I would tell other people about by hobby, they would never find out. Only share personal things with people where you feel like not getting judged.

Caring for what other people says about you for anything and not just gambling is an old mentality which people with complexes have.I don't care what other people say about me as I am living my life enjoying what I do and what other people say does not concern me at all.I may be happy gambling all day in a physical casino and people would perceive it differently,they will say he is a loser while I am enjoying myself so who cares what people say.

It is a difficult thing to not care what people say about us, they will continue to weaken mentally until dawn, I agree with you,  you are ignorant and don't care about what people say. this needs to be imitated and learned how to not care about what people say. I've tried, but I always think about what people say until I stop playing gambling a few years ago. That made me no longer excited to watch or sit on a bet chair. But, it's no longer, I finally decided to start again after my friend support me.

actually it is quite important to listen to what someone says about us. but it would be better if only the closest people know about our gambling activities such as family, relatives, and friends. other than that I will not tell you more about my gambling activities. because it will only make noise.
if those who say to stop are family, it's also good to listen to what they say, but not to stop completely, just limit our movements when playing gambling so as not to overdo it. maybe that's all.

Sometimes, we don't need to listen to what other people say because their comments to you will become your basis in yourself,it's hard to listen and trust what other people say because we don't know what their intentions are when criticizing you, their judgement may be good or bad but at It's better if you will listen to your family and closest one who knows you better and wants to improve yourself in life, for real.

That's right, besides, if they comment well with the intention of giving directions or advice then there's nothing wrong with what they do, and it could also make us aware and reduce our gambling. but on the other hand, when someone has a habit of gambling and they can be said to be addicted, it is likely that they will not be able to take the advice well. because people who are addicted to gambling, in my opinion, tend to be stubborn individuals so they won't listen to advice from other people.

Generally, family or relatives will of course provide comments in the form of advice or something else, but if you are with friends who are equally fond of gambling, they will comment to give you a good way to gamble which is actually good in their opinion. In my opinion, what they mean by criticizing us is that there are two possibilities, to raise awareness and to continue to push deeper into gambling, and after that all control is with us who decide whether the comments should be listened to and considered, or maybe just let it go without paying attention.

Gambling can either been seen as negative or positive activity, it depends on a person's point of view. Gambling is an open activity in which anyone can participate without any pressure from others. Besides, this is a free world, and I've worked hard enough to pay my bills, so I won't tolerate any type of abuse from anyone; after all, I'm not looking for an entitlement post in either religion or where I work. We are citizens who work sufficiently forceful to ensure that we create our primary income for ourselves and our families, and we do so while simultaneously creating change for pockets.

[wallet4bitcoin]

Everyone is living his personal life, even though we tend to relate or have friends or even consult people about a thing or two, it doesn't change the fact that we all are living our independent lives. You should care less about what people say when you are gambling as long as you have your thinking cap intact and not having to be living wrecked as a result.

Many people think that gambling is bad because they have seen the impact it will have on people who gamble and the people around the gambler. But gambling should be neutral and doesn't need to be played for a long time, let alone using a lot of money, but that's what we are. We still forget these two things, money and time, so we continue to gamble even though we have lost a lot of money or have been gambling for a long time. And that's what makes many people still choose to hide their gambling activities because they don't want people to call them irresponsible gamblers. But some openly gamble and don't want to listen to what other people say because that is their business, and they still want to gamble.

[CODE200]

Not really and if they ever really have something to say about me and my habit, I'll just do a rebuttal about how I have the money to waste because I have the money and that they don't have the money to waste because they don't have it and that we're different when it comes to financial standing, a little berating and trashtalk about their financials actually makes these types of people shut up because the people that's richer than you don't really care about what you do with your money, it's the people that have less fortune than you that talks a lot. Thankfully, this only happened to me one time so it's not that big of a deal for me, most of the time when they voice out their opinion about my gambling, I just tell them that it's my money, I can do what I want with it right? And if that doesn't work, then I'll just ignore them until it becomes unbearable and then I tell that shit that I don't really like spewing out of my mouth but they made me do it.

[Promocodeudo]

Greetings everyone and happy new year all!

Okay, today I was actually out for a little business and it happens that I almost spent all my time wasted without me even having a smooth deal, but along the line I have few games that I have placed a bet and was wanting to view my games from my phone since gambling is now mobile, what I meant by mobile is that you can access your account at any place provided that you have an internet connectivity you will login to monitor your matches.

So when I logged in, someone close to me easily peep from my left hand side and noticed that I just opened my account monitoring my games, at this point what he said is "ahh you don join dem"? Meaning you have also belong to the groups of people that gambles?

On a lighter note, I just smile and asked him if there is anything wrong while gambling or while monitoring my games and he said nothing but just that few people he knew that are gambling almost turned useless.

This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?

Why that person sounded like that is that he is aware of irresponsible gamblers and addiction that's accompanied with gambling, I don't blame him much because some person has made ridicule of themselves because of their involvement in gambling, but in real he doesn't know that people can be responsible while gambling to, he reacted that way because the incident that he saw that took place is making him to have the mindset that anyone involved in gambling might end up being useless, if you look at it from the other side too, gambling has rendered many people useless because of the excessive individuals involvement in it, I know that the guy in question has no right to intrude but he acted based his little exposure and experience of an event relating to gambling.

Caring over what people have to say won't make any changes in the life of a gambler. We have unique priorities and should respect our motives of gambling. Hearsays is not in any way the reason why I started gambling. So, pondering about the reactions of people around us is a personal decision. Not everyone is independent enough to bypass the wordings of his close friends or family. Those thoughts seem annoying and is able to affect one's attitude. I wouldn't recommend that any gambler gets obsessed by what other non-gamblers has to say about gambling. Its certain no-good words would come out of their mouth. Because they've got no knowledge about gambling. And don't bother asking their acquittances who gamble to explain gambling to their understanding.

They rely on what is said around the society and speak in that sense. Which is wrong for anybody to say things without having done any research. I think the gambler would have himself to blame if he's adhering to the words of those who know little or nothing about gambling. It's like downgrading years of gambling research for the advice of a layman. Being a responsible gamble gets questioned by such people, that thinks every gambler is compulsive. The right thing is minding our business and stay strong not to get carried away by other people's lifestyle. As running back and forth over the thoughts of people on us, can be distracting and affect us mentally. If not for anything, gamblers deserve a cool and relaxed mental health.

As long as you know yourself why you are into this gambling activity, there's no reason to be guilty of.
Because people will always have something to say, no matter what. So if you are confident about yourself, then there's nothing to worry of.
Worry if you are loaning the money and spending your basic needs, and you have no financial back-up where you will end up destitute.
So in this particular subject, so long you are not bothering anyone because of your gambling activities, there's nothing to be concerned about.

Yes, that's true because by living in a country where gambling is legal, we can relax in discussing gambling and don't need to be afraid of the law. But it would be different if we lived in a country where gambling was prohibited. Maybe we will not freely talk about gambling and will choose quiet places or at home to talk about gambling. And for people who often talk about us or the gambling we do, we don't need to listen to them and choose to go away and leave them because we have nothing to do with them. And as long as we don't disturb the people around us and they are okay with the gambling activities we do, that means they can accept us regardless of whether we gamble or not. Each person can determine their choice to gamble or prefer to do other things, which is their wish. They can talk about us, and as long as we are not disturbed, we just let what they say about us.

Gambling is considered as a negative activity to do as there's a high chance of losing money, and that is the norms that people know about. It is already expected that people have always something to say it's either they care for you or just want to feel better for themselves by just simply saying that your habit can ruin your life. I agree that if you know to yourself that you are a responsible gambler, then there's nothing to worry about what people say because you to yourself know that you can manage the risk of gambling where it can reduce the possibility of addiction, financial issues, health, etc. Thing would be different if you are already married or have a family cause you need to hear their concerns.

[bitvalak]

The gambler's point of view and the spectator's point of view will certainly be different. For the audience, gambling is a stupid thing that is pointless because it only costs money without clear results. And that's not wrong. On the other hand, gamblers will claim that gambling can also provide them with income which they think is enough to support their needs and even buy luxury goods.

To be honest, I don't care about the audience's arguments, because there's no point in explaining the positive side of gambling. The stereotype of gamblers being bad has been around for a long time before online gambling existed. So let them argue whatever they want, because honestly it won't have any effect on your game at the gambling table.

I would appreciate my friends, relatives or relatives warning me about gambling, because I know they care about me and they don't want me to fall into gambling. For me, advice like this makes us realize that we should not be involved in gambling games. Maybe they are advising us because they see many gamblers whose lives have been ruined

Exactly, this is the main point, you can reach a conclusion from some advice that often comes to you, I understand that maybe not everyone will think like you when getting some advice or input from other people or people closest to them, because there are also those who really think that all this is a nuisance for them, but if we try to reconsider it again with common sense and rationally the fact is that their advice is the best thing to do.

Especially if it is the advice of a relative or family member because obviously they must be very concerned about your safety and have concerns that maybe if they don't advise you then you will become one of the addicted gamblers along with experiencing the bad effects of addiction. So the point is that we should really be able to consider first about any advice that comes before finally deciding, and also to minimize regret at the end when we feel that what they said before was right.

You are absolutely right, no matter who says what. My games do not affect others in any way, so I don’t worry about what they will think or say. Since this is just a pastime, I don’t see anything wrong with it, my friends and I bet on sporting events which makes watching matches much more interesting. Another thing is antisocial players who stand at slot machines and beg for change for games, or those players who are addicted can bring discomfort to others, which in turn causes dissatisfaction and condemnation of gambling in general.

you can only get a genuine piece of advice or true concern from your loved ones and real friends. thus, if you receive such concern, better seriously consider it. because they are after for your welfare and not because they want something else from you. treasure those people who really do care for your well-being. as they want only the best for you and not because they are seeing something they can get out from you.

but for other people especially strangers, and commenting about your gambling habits, i guess, that's overboard and they are only seeing the surface. they don't know you as a person, so they only judge for what they are seeing.

Not really and if they ever really have something to say about me and my habit, I'll just do a rebuttal about how I have the money to waste because I have the money and that they don't have the money to waste because they don't have it and that we're different when it comes to financial standing, a little berating and trashtalk about their financials actually makes these types of people shut up because the people that's richer than you don't really care about what you do with your money, it's the people that have less fortune than you that talks a lot.

so long it is your money, and you are not disturbing anyone under any circumstance, they don't have to nag you about your gambling activities. just mind your own business and live what you think is right for you.

I dont know on why there are people who are really that much too mindful about other peoples saying or really that much too sensitive on what they would really be doing into others which
they dont really have the rights on what we should gonna do with our money and its none of their business on what are the things that we do gonna do because they hadnt been affected
on what we are doing and besides its out money. Then why would you making yourself that be scared on what would be they saying?

It would really be always best that you should really be just that do on the things on what you are interested into. Dont mind other peoples sayings and
their comments because it wont really be doing something good for you.

Many people get sensitive on the words of the other people,but it’s quit not important one.Because we know the importance of the words of the people who are very close to us and the random people in our life.The gambling addicted person itself give importance to the people who are very close to them,because they never bother to the words of the person who they not consider such people as important to their life.

Many gambling addicted people was recovered only by the words of their closed one,mostly their friends or wife or mother of their own family.Some of the gamblers quit because of their family problems occur due the gambling addiction and most of them are divorce cases.
