We all gamble here, that’s obvious. But outside this forum, when people around you casually call you a “gambler”, how do you actually take it?
Do you feel proud and see it as some kind of compliment, like someone who takes risks and knows what they’re doing. Or do you feel a bit insulted, like it’s something negative and not really something to be proud of?
Curious how others see it, especially since gambling means different things to different people.
It actually depends on the context and the intention of the person who says the word "gambler". If someone calls me a gambler with negative words like "you are an irresponsible gambler", then I will feel offended, it is very inappropriate for him to judge me like that because every action I take does not harm him. But if he calls me a gambler with positive words or tone like "you dare to take risks even though you know gambling never promises victory, I admire your actions", then I will feel proud and take it as a compliment.
Although some people assume that gamblers are irresponsible or unwise individuals in managing their finances because it has a negative connotation, I have never cared about this assumption because none of my actions have ever harmed anyone else.
