Before gambling. I could work hard for months to buy something. But after gambling even waiting one week felt too long.
These further confirms the hidden discrepancies in the dangers of intensed gambling. It doesn't just switch up your emotions and thoughts on the surface, there are more psychological harm done than on the physical, which is what I keep discussing all the time. Someone brought up a topic on the advantages of gambling, and it makes no sense to me at all, when they stand to struggle with things they naturally accomplished before.
This is one of the most dangerous psychological side effect of gambling. Just a few minutes after placing a bet on gambling board a surge of dopamine rises in the brain. That suddenly turns brain's expectation of reward timing of a weak minded person upside down. Real life tasks seem very slow to these people. They lose patience at a glance and say why is it taking so long to improve in their career! They find it unbearable to do DCA. They also express reluctance to learn any skill with patience. These tasks then seem painful and slow. Especially when teenagers go through each session of heavy gambling, they become extremely restless towards regular job and hard work. They cannot concentrate on their work anymore. I have rarely seen these problems with adult gamblers who are employed. This is why age restriction should be applicable in gambling.
