How Gambling Changes Your Relationship With Time ?

[alastantiger]

Sometimes gambling does not destroy a person in one day. It slowly changes the way they see about time and money and also progress without them even noticing it.

The reason why gambling can affect your relationship is because gambling isn't an activity that you will do just for one time then stop but it is something that you do continuously and as you continue to gamble it will affect your relationship in every way. Because of the mood swing that you always have when gambling that if you win you are happy and when you lose you get sad this can affect your relationship with people especially with your wife and children because your mood for the day will be determined by the outcome of your bet which isn't right. It does not matter how you plan to gamble in a good way for you to avoid this because this is part of gambling and it does not matter if you lose a little amount or a big amount if you get sad it can affect your relationship with people and also when you win big or small it will also affect your relationship with people. What you have to do is to be disciplined and try to discipline yourself to have a good relationship with people despite the results of the games you bet on.

Yes, building a good career requires a lot of patience and a lot of time. In that case, you can build your career with patience, but if you become a gambler and become addicted, you will want to do everything very quickly.
After 30 days of slowness, you will not want to get your monthly salary, you will want money to come to you quickly. If you are gambling, you will want to win more and this will make you a restless person.
Gambling makes a person mentally restless, the effects of which are observed over time among classmates, office colleagues, and family members, and gradually relationships with them begin to deteriorate.

If you want gambling not to affect your relationship, you can do that, by not engaging in gambling too much...if you have a budget for gambling, you will devote out much time for gambling...for your relationship to be solidify, it's needs concentrations...so you can chose  your relationship ahead of gambling, it's only thing that will make you have a limit in gambling,but if you choose gambling ahead your relationship, it's a situation that will make you to concentrate more in gambling than your relationship..but only is to have a strategies for your participation in gambling.

The destruction from gambling comes gradually that the person don't even knows that he his being destroyed untill his world comes crashing, that is why you gamble with what you can afford to lose and control your emotions .

In gambling you have to set your limits in time and bankroll so that you don't find yourself spending more than your target or all your income.

that is the dangerous part about gambling as the damage does rarely occurs all at once. Most of the time gambling damages build up slowly and gradually through your habits , your emotions and time. What I meant by saying this is at first gamblers think they are just playing their gambling game for fun or they are just trying to recover from a small loss but before they realize it gambling begins to control how they spend their money , begins to also control their emotions and attention as well as their time spent on it. If they were able to control their time and emotions earlier, a time will come if you don’t gamble with care you will end up submissive to gambling and would have no choice than to be controlled by it.

Hello Reader. I hope Everything will be fine at your end.

I have an elder cousin who is a civil engineer. He used to earn a decent salary but after getting into gambling. He started losing interest in his job and his focus shifted completely. Yesterday he told me that.

Before gambling. I could work hard for months to buy something. But after gambling even waiting one week felt too long.

And honestly i learned a lot from his one sentence.

I think one of the hidden dangers of gambling is that it changes how a person feels about time and progress.

In normal life growth is usually slow. You have to study to get a job then save some money  and then improve little by little. But gambling gives emotional highs in just a few minutes. One spin or one bet or may be one lucky win  and suddenly your brain gets used to fast excitement.

After that normal life can start feeling boring.

A stable salary feels slow. Saving money feels slow. Even small progress stops feeling satisfying because the mind becomes attached to quick rewards.

That is why many gamblers do not only struggle with losses. They struggle with patience too.

And i think this is something people rarely talk about.

Sometimes gambling does not destroy a person in one day. It slowly changes the way they see about time and money and also progress without them even noticing it.

What do u all think ? Psychology is my fav topic . Everyone has its own opinion regarding gambling and psychology and i also love to read your replies as well. Because in the end my main focus is to learn from experienced peoples here. And i respect your opinions as well.

Thanks For Reading.

Here’s another sad story about how a person was ruined by their weakness and, unfortunately, their foolishness. In my opinion, these are the two key traits that allow gambling to get the better of us and turn us into its hostages. Under its influence and through our inaction, we begin to behave irrationally, which creates a huge host of problems in our ordinary, rational lives. I sincerely hope that you will be able to help this person return to the real world by overcoming his weaknesses!

My experience has been the complete opposite ^{[I strongly believe I've become more patient]}, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I'm a casual sports bettor... I still have to study each game, so between my bets, there's usually enough of a gap that somewhat helps me control my emotions.

It felt like a long time before his salary came because he was losing money fast. That's how gambling can affect our time.

I understand your cousin because I have been there. When I need money to buy something, I feel like my salary is taking too long to come. The days are being counted, and all of a sudden, I get frustrated when every peso/dollar will just go to the bills. There will be no room for gambling because all of it will be used for something important. When that happened, I realized that I should really control my gambling activity, and the time spent playing should be minimized.
I switched back to sports, and everything went well. Slots really messed up my time management in the past.

I think that is one of the biggest signs gambling is starting to affect someone mentally. I mean when a person starts waiting for salary day just to recover losses or continue gambling it slowly changes priorities and peace of mind and also purpose of life as well.
The good thing is we learn from mistakes and congrats u realize it early which helps you take control before it gets worse.
Slots especially can take a lot of time because people keep chasing the next win thinking it is just around the corner or the next one will hit.
What starts as entertainment slowly turns into a routine of expectation and frustration.
Thats when discipline becomes more important than luck or emotion. And in the end time is the most valuable thing we have. Money and even health can come back but time once lost never returns. Thats why awareness is more important than the win itself.

Gambling can be destructive, in part because it provides a quick dopamine rush and people become addicted to it, but we mustn't forget the underlying reasons why people "escape" normal life. "Saving money feels slow" - what?! Saving doesn't work at all anymore because of inflation, that's why people are getting frustrated. I completely
understand why ordinary people try to go all-in and "live like it's their last time" because the future is no longer guaranteed and the old planning models don't work.

You are right about the frustration people feel with slow progress and financial pressure but honestly i believe there is another angle too. It was social media. Social media constantly shows success stories that make it feel like everyone is winning early in life.
When a normal working person sees a 20 years old buying luxury cars or making huge money it naturally creates pressure and self doubt. Even tough we dont know about the person and the background of the person who post success stories or the reality as well.
That is where many people start thinking they are doing something wrong and look for shortcuts. But in reality most of those stories are not the full picture. Every one has something behind the camera to deal with. And life is not that fast in real terms it is more like a marathon than a sprint.
Great things usually takes time patience and consistency even if it feels slow compared to what we see online.
We have turned life into a race but in reality it was never meant to be one.
Maybe the real issue is not only inflation or savings but also how we compare ourselves with unrealistic standards. Because in the end it is always you vs you. Not you vs any other Human being.

I've also noticed that I've become more patient because I've learned to wait. When I first started gambling, I was in a rush, wanting to win quickly. I was excited about the game, and the unknown thrilled me. I knew I'd have a fun time, but over the years, I've realized that there's no need to rush. It's better to bet more carefully, and I'll take every bet seriously, because if you lose, no one will refund your money. So I've become more selective and spend very little time playing, because I know how quickly it can fly by if you don't play without limits.

But actually these mistakes could really be able to avoid out on the first place if you do really just that make yourself that sensible or really having awareness about into the cons if you do this action and that. We do have our own will and common sense on trying out trying out to find on what are those probabilities and if you do saw that it will really be giving out that negative impact, then why you would be doing it on the first place? It is just that a matter of self control and discipline on this case on which you would be needing up to be wary and act on which best for you. Gambling isnt that bad as long you do really play for the sole purpose of fun and leisre without needing to compromise things specially finances on which this is the main thing that would really be that affected if you wouldnt be careful. Gambling for fun and then act responsible when it comes to spending and other things so that you wouldnt be ending up on compromising something.

Part of how gambling affects your brain is through the neurotransmitters, you crave for the rush that gambling gives you and you start getting desensitized at less threshold stimulus for feeling good. This is why chronic gamblers are less patient and impulsive and often getting angry quickly at minor reasons.

Point remains same, one should control their gambling habits to make sure time and money are not being spent indiscriminately. If so, start logging in your session duration and money spent. Look back on the numbers after a week and see what is going wrong.

Bad gambling habits can change how people value time and money. They often take money for granted and neglect valuable time they should be using for productive activities. There are many similar stories, and I hear them frequently in my community. However, after I concluding, it is all due to bad gambling habits. Therefore, I often advise everyone (including myself) to value time and money more when gambling, namely by managing it properly.

By the way, I believe it is not just the quick rewards of gambling that can change a gambler mindset about time and finances; quick losses can also have an impact. The bottom line is, gamble responsibly and wisely. Try to follow some sound gambling advice, including the advice I have outlined.

I guess gamblers don't know that, I mean for us it's just that we are having fun and we all take it as a sign that dopamine and everything is good for our body. But the effect though in the long run.

And it's true that we don't have the measure of time. Isn't it that there are no watches in casinos? It's because they want to trick us that we are just playing their for hours but it could be that we have been inside for more than 6 hours or so.

[Junii]

..

Yes you are right and i believe time perception is one of the biggest traps in online gambling. Because it is available 24/7 it slowly removes natural limits and people end up playing longer than they even realize.
Thats how someone can think its only 30 minutes but suddenly 3 hours are gone especially with slots and near miss situations.
And when that pattern continues it doesnot just affect time it starts affecting thinking and priorities as well. Even with a good job and income it can feel i want more scene because the mind is already focused on the next gamble. And also u know what many psychologists said .Our mind loves the What if game and in gamble what if appears alot of time.

Thats why discipline and self awareness are more important than the game itself. Gambling should stay controlled and intentional otherwise it easily shifts from entertainment to dependency.
And once that shift happens normal life balance becomes very hard to maintain. Even it affects the overall decision making ability of a person.

[Finestream]

Once you start seeing gambling as a shortcut to get you rich, the whole perspective you kept applying in life will suddenly change. You don't want steady and reliable income, because all you want is fast but risky flow of income. That is why we cannot question why gambling changes our stance about time because with gambling, everything happens in an instant, you win instantly and you can also lose all what you've won in just a blink of an eye.

However, this might be normal for most of the gamblers but we can always create our new normal if we really want to. It's just a matter of having discipline and priorities in life.

[qwertyup23]

It all boils down to what the gambler takes gambling for. If you're gambling to become rich overnight, you'll always that that big hope on gambling than being serious with your life. Anyone with this kind of mindset will become addicted because they will give all their time to gambling and wouldn't know when they're addicted. Your cousin is already addicted to gambling and that's why he's sounding like that.

Not to mention, if you view gambling for profit then everything would happen so fast to the point that you would question your life decisions.

In gambling, money is involved because you wager it which could either give you a favorable or unfavorable result. Imagine you received your income for the month worth $2,000 and you went to a casino to wager let's say $400. You wouldn't notice, during the course of your gambling, that you're slowly exhausting your allocated budget the more time you spend inside the gambling casino. It will also come to a point that if you're having a bad night, you'd spend more than what you've planned for because you're trying to recover the losses you've incurred in the process.

In conclusion, gambling affects the perception of your time especially on how you view your money. Your allocated budget has the potential of exceeding because you're desperately trying to recover your losses in the process.

What is the remedy for this? - STOP as soon you've incurred a profit; and ACCEPT if you've incurred a loss.

I believe that if relationship is good and tested with time, gambling or anything else are not able to change it or influence on it noticeably. I suppose idea of the question in topic is more how money spend on gambling would influence on relationship, as money are imo the only that usually ruin relationship and union. In my family, gambling is entertainment, fun activity we can do when we are in a company and we dont spend a lot of money or time on it. Gambling hasnt affected, nor interferes my relationship.

[Dunamisx]

A sensitive Gambler should be able to see how gambling could impact positive impression on him and not a negative one, this has to do with how discipline we are in gambling and what decision we have made on how to engage with gambling, but the moment you see that being a gambler, things are normal working the way they supposed to be shows that you should call for a review, check and balance some discrepancies that might have cost you to be negatively impacted, fix on those errors and move on with gambling responsibly.

It does change how someone perceives progress, ones the person is beginning to get affected by that get rich quick syndrome, every little program becomes a big stress and burden, like you have clearly outlined everything here which I have said before in most of my previous comments, gambling doesn't destroy someone just in a day or suddenly, it takes time before it bust, this happens when the individual keeps indulging the habit while it builds up. In my opinion, Self reflection and personal advice helps someone to caution their self when they have observed that they are going in a wrong track that could harm them.

The destruction from gambling comes gradually that the person don't even knows that he his being destroyed untill his world comes crashing, that is why you gamble with what you can afford to lose and control your emotions .

In gambling you have to set your limits in time and bankroll so that you don't find yourself spending more than your target or all your income.

The reason why gambling addiction destroys a person slowly is because at first the person does not understand what stage he is actually going to  In the beginning he does not understand his financial loss but then he starts getting addicted mentally and later when the financial losses start coming to the fore. He finds it difficult to meet his daily living expenses. He breaks the necessary savings kept in his back and loses by betting then he realizes that his loss has been done but at that time he cannot get back because he has become completely addicted for so long. Then he tries to recover the financial loss he has suffered. This leads him to a worse situation. In this way a gambler gradually goes towards addiction. Over time he reaches a stage from which it becomes absolutely impossible to come back.
