Topic: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling - page 11. (Read 3863 times)

Yes, you are right, this really depends on a person's personality, if they are lonely and they gamble and continue to do it without being able to control themselves, of course this will make them addicted and those who cannot control their emotions when gambling are played, of course this will happen. will have a bad impact on their lives and what is even worse is when they become addicted and also harm the people around them.

Actually, it not about the past but about what activities can make him feel happiness and satisfaction because loneliness can make someone have thoughts that are more likely to look for things he can do but it is also very enjoyable to get rid of boredom or feelings of loneliness.
If in the past he liked to gamble then it is very likely that even now he still gambles even though the intensity has decreased quite lot, but at least he still occasionally enters gambling sites to play.
And of course for a lonely gambler, this is the right time or momentum to fulfill their passion for gambling, they tend to want to use some money to play or bet because that is one way they can do it when they have boring free time.

The same thing will be very different for someone who doesn't like gambling because they will of course do other activities that they usually do.
I think it all depends on each person habits and gambling habits, so the first thing people think about is gambling and other habits such as traveling, so they will seek pleasure by traveling, not everyone will be able to jump into gambling straight away.

But it does not rule out the possibility that gambler will look for other more useful activities, such as looking for busy work or producing number of valuable items that can be sold.
Habits are the main influence in person way of thinking, but attitude will also determine what must be done, it just that if we talk about most or almost all of it, habits are still things that are always thought about and done at any time.

Loneliness can make someone more susceptible to behaviors that we may think to be too risky, as if they had a friend to their side watching what they were doing they could tell them that what they are doing is wrong, but without that support it will be easier for someone to develop some issues, still this only increases the chances of this happening a little bit since such a state cannot really last for long, especially now that we live in a society in which you can contact with people from all over the world and drive away those feelings.

Loneliness without any activity can make a person reminisce about his past and if he had the experience of gambling in the past, he might want to repeat it. And if he doesn't realize that his past can make him gamble more often than before, he could become addicted to gambling without realizing it. And he might borrow money to continue gambling, especially if he runs out of money gambling. He couldn't think anymore because of his loss, so he could only think about how to recover from it. That's where good self-control comes in, which can prevent him from returning to gambling and can make him realize that he doesn't need to return to gambling, especially when he has had bad experiences with gambling. He must be able to find other activities that are not related to gambling so that he can avoid gambling and not experience gambling addiction. Loneliness requires a solution so as not to think about gambling and maybe someone should be able to find new activities that can relieve their loneliness.

You have misinterpreted some things Loneline does not make anyone drug addict.  Loanlines can be an attraction for a gambler because when he gambles and loses and does not have enough money to re-deposit, he will try to borrow from others to recover his losses. So Lonelines can make a gambler more addicted to gambling. In this case, if he wins the gamble and recovers his losses, he can repay his loans, but if he loses and loses them too, he is in great danger. And this is why you should never gamble with a loan

Yes, above all he has a very Positive Attitude and although almost every day he came to my House Because we talk Here , Sometimes he Eats here , we are very fond of him because even my 2-year-old Baby likes him very much , but he sometimes gets Angry to cry alone, his son tells me that Sometimes he Keeps Waking up at night Crying , those things have been Difficult for him , and the First thing he did was to stop all Addictions , he drank a lot , now he is Focused on a Clothing and Shoe Business that He is Selling and he says that he keeps going, that he is not going to stop working and thank God that he has that Attitude , According to Other Friends of his , they Told me that he was Trying against his life, so these are things that Sometimes are Hard , I Put Every good Thought in his Head , I told him to look for another woman, so that Sadness will go Away , he Still doesn't want to , but I'm sure that it Helps him, however he Sees many make Decisions like the ones What can I tell you , Drink Alcohol , some People play a lot in physical casinos ,  because in Colombia there are Many Physical Casinos , All this has a lot to do With things like that.

Now when we put Emphasis on things that can be seen and Generated well for everything, it is seen that there are moments in which loneliness , Being a Weapon , is sometimes not good 'because it makes us think things that are not , Bad thought , and Although some see a lot of the Possibility of indulging in gambling or Something like that because you can See Other Options , such as Generating money like you are Doing with your Clothing Business , many things like that are what I say can be done, given all the good Attitude is what you should inject into the people you are with so Tthat you make things better for them, I have always said Something, you can Feel Alone if you Want , sometimes Having Good Friends is much Better than having a Family that Sometimes They are the ones Who stab you in the Back ,  sometimes the Friends are the ones who are always there for you.

yup, and even they get some advice from others, they can't do that because they really don't know how to control their mind. Sometimes even if a person consults to a professional, there's still no guarantee for them that they can prevent the loneliness and obsession that they are feel. Everyone has their own capabilities of handling problems and I hope all of us will conquer that without sacrificing our physical and metal health.

Yes, there are gamblers who can't control their emotion after suffering from big losses, they will keep trying to play back once they already
have some spare to deposit again.

I think it's a human behavior that really hard to control, for some, they are capable but for most they are willing to risk everything in order to fill out
the desire inside them.

It's important to have the balance, not just because you sort to gambling to feel that entertainment, but you also need to consider the risk
once you get attach and unable to quit away.

No, you cannot start gambling because of loneliness if you have not known about gambling initially. So, you must know about gambling and be a former gambler before loneliness can force you back to gambling. And this will be easy when you have to job, because if you are preoccupied with work, you will have no or little time to think about gambling.


It could be a sign of dedication or commitment, they don't do anything for jamboree and that is why they refused to treat gambling as a fun. Besides, whatever money is involved is supposed to be taken seriously, that is why it is advised to gamble with a spare money.


That is a huge amount of earnings you mentioned. Someone earning that much doesn't have a problem than to set out some percentage of his earnings, maybe 5% for gambling.

That is not a real figure given you. There's no how someone who earns 600 a day will gamble with 500. What of living expenses?
Meanwhile, the person is facing depression.
I call it depression and I don't think that someone in that condition will have the ability to work again. He needs attention honestly.

He is not just lonely, he is hurting and emotionally down. A lonely and an idle mind can travel far and wide either seeking for ways to distract himself or to even end it all depending on the level of frustration.  The young man mentioned above doesn't really see gambling as a fun activity neither does he see it as a means to earn money, rather he uses it to distract and console himself.  But the negative impact of his decision is that, he has channelled all his attention and resources to gambling making him look like he is addicted.  No he is not, he is hurting and needs help .  It is just like someone who decides to take more and more alcohol to heal his hurt. He will continue drinking until he becomes miserable, but if peradventure their love life returns back to how it was before the hurt, he throws away the bottles and begins to live his normal and exciting life again. People can really make wrong decisions when they are emotionally down,  all they need is a little push from family,  friends and loved ones to return back to who they were before.

I'm not even sure if an addicted gambler could calm themselves and not think about gambling every single minute. I knew someone back then who cant stop thinking about gambling and he cant even calm himself even with a huge loss, he'd literally go back at it again if he can find another spare money that he can burn in gambling. Lucky he hasn't become a criminal out of frustration when all of his money are exhausted after lossing so much in gambling.

We cannot say that only loneliness can make a gambler, a gambling addict. A lot of circumstances may contribute to make a gambling addiction. It also includes the behaviour of near and dear ones of the gambler and most importantly his financial situation.

Sometimes we feel that the loneliness of the gambler is making him an excessive gambler but we never know that if that person is having depression and due to this he is gambling excessively, that in turn results in addiction to gambling.

Sometimes, even kind behaviour towards the addicted person is really helpful for him to get rid of gambling gradually.

It depends on a person's mental state, if they are lonely and gamble, they are not 100% addicted to gambling, it's just because of the frustration they experience and don't know where to calm themselves, even when they gamble, it's not just winning or losing, it could be an outburst. their emotions, usually people like this will recover after they have a calmer mind

Loneliness is one of the major fuel of addiction because there must first be a hunger to feel a vacuum and the only way to best loneliness is to engage yourself in something and if gambling is the only available activities for that purpose, tthat means the individual will tend to depend and rely on it, just like every other form of addictive activities, if taking as excessive quest it could result into addiction as easy as possible.
For sure i see anyone that have gamble outside fun to be an addicts based on their actions and how excessive the push for their gambling quest such as staking an amount that affects their financial life because they are chasing the big winning and targeting the money, this minset have set many up for posible addictios, but sometime many of them will not agree with the fact that they are already addicted by taken such decisions to gamble other than to have fun.
Really i havent meet any addicts that say or accept he/she is an addicts just like madness no mad man accept they mad but those who are good mental state can identify a mad person from their characters and addiction, same with addictions,
First, is not possible to make stable and steady amount from gambling, so no way to make $600 daily from gambling and having such possibilities in mind as a gamblers, just know that you already setting yourself up for possible addiction,  because you are already chasing a direction with that choice.
That is possible case of addiction if he be losing money and still gambling.
100% fact and he already using gambling to replace the vacuum created by the departure of his wife, and now he is already addicted to gambling.

Do you think, Lorence.xD, a rich addicted gambler would be able to manage his fund? If you understand closely what gambling addiction is about, it only leads to loss of control, emotional trauma, and mental disorder. These things remove the self-control in the brain of the player. And all he could get a grasp on was wasting money on gambling. Nobody would be able to like an addict. Unless he's been regulated by close partners who now manage the money on their behalf. Communicating with a partner or the intention of getting married is worth it because the gambler would need help. Addiction to gambling doesn't make room for self-treatment. It requires an outside help from somebody else. Neglecting the assistance of other people only opens new chapters of addiction in the life of that gambler and he'll be undergoing severe pains while alone.

Loneliness helps a gambler to make casinos his companion and when not moderated, the player can get compulsive in gambling.  The urge to hide the addiction from people or close friends only suffers the gambler when alone. Pretense flourishes in their mindset, thereby hoping to solve the problem without anybody's help. Therapists may try to help a gambler get healed, but the gambler can resist the therapist due to loneliness. They'll want to stay and fight the addiction alone. Hence, worsening the situation of the gambler to a more difficult state. At this point, he may not be able to hide the fact and his daily troubles could leave the person left behind by loved ones. So, I'd advise that gamblers should discuss first with a friend before entering into gambling. The difficulty of addiction doesn't escalate easily, it only grows gradually and if a person watches closely the behavior of the gambler he'd be able to detect that his friend isn't exhibiting his normal attitude. Then treating him would get easier, and faster.

You have some points that are totally false, loneliness does not lead people or a person into doing or taking drugs, but rather, it's the other way round, the type of company or companion one keeps is what leads such a person into drugs, one cant be going out with drugsters and not get into drugs.

But then, coming back to gambling, it's completely different, I gambling, loneliness can actually lead a person into gambling, and this is because, gambling is more of an individual thing, which means that your statement that gambling can be done by some people is also wrong, except I am understanding you from a concept or perception different from that which you meant or used.

But then, the fact remains that, gambling and addiction to it, can be as a result of loneliness, more appropriate thing to compare with gambling addiction is pornography and masturbation, this act also, and addiction to it is always as a result of loneliness and all that.

When a person is lonely, he will be addicted to various drugs. Especially in loneliness, people choose to play gambling. And when one starts to socialize with more people, drugs indulge in various vices. Gambling is done by some people.  Some take it as a pastime to pass the time of solitude, while some become completely addicted to gambling and lose all their financial resources in life. As far as we can stay away from gambling, it is good for us, but gambling is now spread all over the world.  As a result, he will not be able to completely abstain from gambling.

Reasonably, loneliness is just one of the normal manifestations of the body when there is a lack of communication and extremely painful moods that cannot be confided, simply put, loneliness is needing a friend by your side to listen but in gambling, there is not too much noise, no sharing and understanding. Associating gambling addiction with loneliness seems to be an overreaction, the need for communication while gambling cuts off communication, it's unbelievable for a lonely person to become close friends with gambling when so many people nearby can express their feelings

Actually it depends on each person's personality, sometimes there are those who can control themselves when they are lonely and there are also those who can't, and that also depends on their environment too, if the environment is full of gamblers, of course those who feel lonely will vent their loneliness by gambling until they end up addicted to gambling, but for a good environment, usually those who are lonely will look for other hobbies to entertain themselves.

Or just looking for fun with family or friends, usually people who tend to have lots of people around them are positive people who are free from gamblers and will definitely be safe if they feel lonely they will look for something fun apart from gambling because it all depends on the person's environment. surrounding.

It is true, using the current internet and also with the development of technology today they can access many things using the internet, not only online games, they can communicate with all people in the world if they know how, this is enough to make the reason someone who is lonely does not have to take gambling action, because there are still many things that can be done only with the cellphone they have. If they make gambling as an escape when they are lonely, it is likely that this will become a habit later and also if it has become a habit, of course this is not a good thing, so they must think carefully so that they can choose which things have good and bad effects because they themselves will feel the impact.

It is good, even with online games that can be done simultaneously with people who are not known to make us have friends to chat with, and can also become friends to play games in the long term or in the future. although communicating with people who are not known but this can bring positive things too, as long as you don't forget the intelligence that must be applied, because there must also be risks even though the risks are not like gambling.
