Do you care about what people say about you gambling?

It doesn’t matter to me what people think about my hobby, be it gambling or something else. Everyone has free will and the right to choose what they see fit, unless prohibited by law. Another thing is that you need to have wisdom and watching your bets is not always appropriate. I mean situations when, for example, you are at work or on a date or in a company on a holiday, this can be considered disrespect and bad manners. And regarding people’s opinions, everyone has the right to think about me and everyone else what they see fit

I agree, besides the money you are using in gambling is your own money. The fact that it is your own money, it only means that other people doesn't have the right to think or say/dictate anything about your hobby. Letting them to think whatever they want and didn't give any interest on their opinion is good, we don't need to stress ourselves with other peoples opinion, what we should think is how we become comfortable with our hobbies.

[klidex]

If it was someone else I would ignore it, why is it like that? because they don't know me in depth and don't know where I live so just relax even though other people will comment badly even though I'm gambling. But I always anticipate this by not gambling in public places, especially when we're in crowded places and there's not much difference in seating too far from other people because I feel uncomfortable if other people see my activities whether I'm chatting or playing on social media or even gambling because they could peek or want to know what we want to do. Because I also don't like peeking at other people's cell phones because cell phones are personal.

So whatever the reason, I don't care about other people's comments, but if my friend reprimands me or comments on what I do, whether it's gambling, I will respond why is that? because they know me and my family. So I'm maybe will explain that my gambling is healthy gambling, sometimes my friend is just worried if we gamble to the point of becoming addicted, therefore usually good friends always remind us not to go beyond the limits.

As an adult, it's important to grow up to stage that you don't find people's opinion about your personal life relevant and in my own opinion, someone shouldn't be addressed as an adult when people's opinions about personal life still bothers the person. However, it's also important to note if what people are saying about you is a true reflection of your negativity or not because sometimes, people around us tends to genuinely care for us.
That being said, I do not care what people around me make of my gambling engagements and that's because whenever I gamble, I don't do it with any other person's resources but mine. Gambling is one engagement that an adult solely takes responsibility of the outcome so anyone's opinion about it is absolutely unimportant provided that such adult is gambling responsibly. But in a situation whereby an adult isn't responsible in his gambling engagements, it's very important to take advice from other people who genuinely wants the person to stop gambling irresponsibly

Because I also don't like peeking at other people's cell phones because cell phones are personal.

Gambling is meant to be done at a leisure time when one is free and not in an open place or crowded environment because we live is a world where people are more interested to know what others are doing and since you stay looking at your phone in a public place there is no way someone will not peep to know what you are doing or watching. Avoiding doing some personal things just like gambling that most people in the society feels that people who are into gambling are either wayward or useless, no need to give them opportunity to talk ill about simply because they have seen others go wrong direction in their gambling life.

So whatever the reason, I don't care about other people's comments, but if my friend reprimands me or comments on what I do, whether it's gambling, I will respond why is that? because they know me and my family.

Exactly, so far as they don't know you there is no reason to give them any explanation or care about what they said to you, but if it involves someone who knows you or a friend of yours it is good for them to know your are a gambler because they can give you good advice on how to go with your gambling because they are your friends so they will not like anything bad to happen to you so they are likely to be helpful to you.

One thing to say with those people that are trying to distract us while we do our own thing, mind their own business.

I don't care a thing they say, am I gambling with their money? am I using their time? No, they don't and that's why I don't care about them and whatever they say upon looking at my activities whether on my laptop or smartphone.

We've got our own lives to deal with and it's too short to be thinking of the welfare of other's activities.

This! This must be the ones that we must do during those situations but I think there are people who are just weak and can get triggered easily by these. I think the only thing that they can do is to confront those people and tell them if what's really their problem? Tell them that if they won't stop we are going to report them to the authorities. I think there is a case for that. It's like bullying.

We shouldn't let those people continue to be like that because they can also do this to other people. Doing so will also help them to focus on fixing their selves and maybe they will thank us one day for this. They might also want to be our buddies after that.

I wouldn't spend time confronting them.

I will mind my own thing and they should just mind their own business as well. Confronting them will make you look like a villain when they're already ruining your day.

You're just going to ruin your day with that and I guess the latter will work, tell them that you're going to report them to the authorities if they won't stop bothering you.

Letting them to think whatever they want and didn't give any interest on their opinion is good, we don't need to stress ourselves with other peoples opinion, what we should think is how we become comfortable with our hobbies.

If we gamble with the money we have ourselves, of course we don't need to think about what other people say about the things we do and we have the right to use the money we have according to our own wishes, but we have to keep doing it in a controlled manner and don't let it happen. puts us in financial trouble and we have to be responsible for what we do, but if they continue to dictate what we do, of course we can avoid this person, it would be better because this makes us uncomfortable and the most important thing is that we do this wisely. do not disturb other people and we can be responsible for the things we do.

that's right, it's okay to receive criticism or advice from other people, but if they say a lot of things that it's not nice or really offensive words, we're the ones to adjust and stay away because we're the ones who understand better, I'll think It's just that they are narrow-minded because why do they worry so much about what other people are doing, does the gambling money come from them? if not, they should keep it to themselves, shut their mouth and mind their own businesses.

For me I think gambling is something that people don't even need to have to know your involvement with because it has no business with people knowing about it, it is just for you to play and wait for the outcome of it which people don't even need to know.

that's right, it's our right to gamble or not, so we don't need to think too much about what other people think about our gambling, because it's our money, it's us who lose or win, so why do we need to care about what other people think? so instead of worrying about what other people think of us, it's better for us to focus on what we do and not gamble excessively, because that is the most important thing compared to thinking about other people's opinions.

I support this comment, every individual should understand that in life everyone has a choice to make. The fact that one doesn't gamble shouldn't mean that they should judge people who do so, a lot of individuals do generalise things a lot and it's so unfair. The fact that he knows some people who got messed up due to addiction or irresponsible gambling doesn't mean every gambler ain't responsible that's what many individuals fail to understand.

 Well, so far I'm not an addicted or irresponsible gambler, what others think about me gambler is their own problem and not mine, so far I'm gambling responsible and not allowing it to affect others. Gambling is not a bad idea but it's when you don't gamble responsibly that's wrong that's why most of these bookies and online casinos would always advice people to do so which is gambling responsible.

People always have the right to think what ever it is they want to think and we have almost no power as to control whatever it is they want to think but then it's in our power to still do that which we wan to do regardless of what the taughts of these people will be because if you are not happy and are probably sad and didn't gets sometimes to keep u having fun during your leisure, the same people will talk about the fact that you are sad and not trying to cheer up basically what ever is it you do people will still talk and think so just gèt something good that makes you happy and do it.

If gambling is your hobby and it actually hurts no one it's not a problem if you continue with your hubby and still happen to have fun with it not minding what people think or say but if it turns out your hubby is causing problem to others then look for a way to possibly adjust so you don't get to make people suffer as a result of your hubby.

Sometimes we need to look at who is talking and what the person is talking about, if it is an advice then you need to think about the advice even if the delivery is done calmly and peacefully, because sometimes people convey their opinions to provoke our emotions, then see whether the advice or opinion can be justified or not by yourself regarding the impact if we do not follow what he is talking about, you need to have a very good logic in accepting an opinion both good and bad.

Don't be too apathetic towards others, because it can become a stone in yourself and your environment becomes bad, I think you have to be more mature in listening to opinions, don't look as if you don't care, just listen well and peacefully, whether or not you use the opinions of others, it comes back to you, the important thing is that we can accept the opinions of others so that your environmental situation is also good.

I also don't like judging people who like to gamble because I also don't like being judged when I'm gambling, because gambling is a person's right and they also use their own money to gamble. And whether they are addicted or gamble irresponsibly is their problem, not mine.
And I like to gamble just for fun, which I sometimes do on weekends after feeling tired after five days of work, and my gambling activities are also unknown to many people. And most bookies recommend gambling responsibly because many gamblers play excessively which causes addiction, and the negative side of gambling occurs because of the mistakes of irresponsible gamblers which makes ordinary people think that gambling is not good and even hated.

Letting them to think whatever they want and didn't give any interest on their opinion is good, we don't need to stress ourselves with other peoples opinion, what we should think is how we become comfortable with our hobbies.

Basically, we should gamble using our own money if we really like gambling, whether we lose or win we will feel it ourselves, if we win then we can enjoy it and if we lose we have to be able to bear it. As long as we can gamble appropriately, don't let us be played by gambling which can put us in big losses and serious problems such as gambling addiction, which of course is not a good thing. It's also a good idea to listen to what other people say if it's advice.

I myself like to gamble but I hide it, even though there are other people talking about gambling, I just keep my mouth shut and don't open the conversation about the gambling that I do, unless I use other people's money to gamble, that is a mistake that can have a big impact on us, too. This might happen when we lose self-control by gambling, therefore it is very important to be able to control ourselves from the gambling we do. Even though there are people who often say "don't listen to what other people say" it doesn't really have to be done, because if it's advice then there's no harm in listening to it and considering it.

That's good for you because we don't wants to interfere other people lives and vice versa and that will be up to them. They must responsible of what they doing and if they can't take care of themselves while they playing gambling, that will gives an impact to them. Playing gambling will be people decision but they must have self control to avoids the big lose that can happens to them. They must responsible with their gambling activity and not lets them gets deeper in gambling because gambling is just for fun in their free time. It's better we playing gambling in our free time and with moderation because gambling can tempts us gets deeper without we realizes that we already playing gambling longer than we thinks. If we can responsible with our gambling activity, we don't have to listen other people say because they don't knows what we do and they only see from the outside. They can be wrong saying that we playing gambling excessively because they don't knows what we do while playing gambling. So lets, them like that while we can playing gambling moderately.

[Hirose UK]

If it was someone else I would ignore it, why is it like that? because they don't know me in depth and don't know where I live so just relax even though other people will comment badly even though I'm gambling. But I always anticipate this by not gambling in public places, especially when we're in crowded places and there's not much difference in seating too far from other people because I feel uncomfortable if other people see my activities whether I'm chatting or playing on social media or even gambling because they could peek or want to know what we want to do. Because I also don't like peeking at other people's cell phones because cell phones are personal.

So whatever the reason, I don't care about other people's comments, but if my friend reprimands me or comments on what I do, whether it's gambling, I will respond why is that? because they know me and my family.

Yes, that true, and whatever other people say will not benefit us, on the other hand, by carrying out gambling activities we also don't make other people feel loss, so if what we do is seen as bad then just let it go.
Maybe they say some things out of concern and also because they don't want us to experience bad things, but basically we gamble with our own will and there is no coercion from anyone, whether it loss or gain, only we ourselves feel it.
Sometimes they don't know what we can actually get from gambling, as we just have fun and are looking for entertainment, but most people think gambling is bad activity.

It just that that different thing, if they are friends or close people who we really trust, there will always be reason for our own good, but unfortunately finding people like this is very difficult.
There have been several incidents in group where friends gave each other support to do more in gambling, but when defeat came they all fell silent.

There is a wrong impression about gambling and that's why if someone sees us gamble, they'd always something to say about it.

But upon the conversation starts from them, as I've said it's best to avoid and ignore them because you don't meddle with anything that they do. So, it's best for them to not cause any talks especially about their thoughts about seeing someone gambling.

It's just upon their peripheral vision and that's why they seems to be obliged telling their opinions although you don't need them.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

      -    If what is being said is good, why should I ignore what others are telling me? If it is for my own good as a gambler, I will accept it and add knowledge to it.

But of course, if I know that nothing good can be done to me or nothing good can be given to me, I don't care about that; of course, I just ignore you. But if the money is meddled with and I'm the one who worked hard, I don't care about that, of course.

Let’s just accept the reality that we can’t please everyone, and that we don’t have the control to what they want to say. Gambling can be a bad thing, but only for those who can’t manage their gambling urge and turn into irresponsible gamblers. However, for those who are good and responsible one, then there’s no way they’ll care whatever people will say.

I used to get affected with how others comprehend about gambling, but I realized this is what makes me entertained and sometimes makes me profitable, so I’m actually benefiting from it. I will continue gambling as long as I want, and as long as I’m using my own spare money. My money, my rules, and since they don’t contribute any goodness in my life, then they’re free to leave me on my own way and mind their own business.

Pro-gambling will definitely understand the feeling of being a gambler and how gambling affects their life. But for those against it, no way to expect them to say good but purely negative words. That is why I don't buy this kind of issue if I hear someone talking about it because the more we argue with and explain our side, they won't listen. In fact, it is not their money, and whatever happens to us, we never ask for help from them.

Besides, it is our choice to gamble. As long as we enjoy what we are doing (gambling), we must not care what they think about us. That is their problem, not ours.
