Topic: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling - page 12. (Read 3863 times)
What loneliness can contribute in gambling is making a gambler to think either good or bad in a gambler, maybe the thinking might lead into good predictions or wrong predictions, do you know that whenever you are lonely you might have a good spirit In you or a bad spirit depends on your spirit, but when you say loneliness I think you may be misunderstanding it with gambling addiction, what causes gambling addiction is when you gamble and you win and after winning the first and second time even third time and you received your cash in quantum, so you make think that wining gambling is easy and you will become addicted in gambling without you knowing, a loneliness can only make you to think of your so called life because is an opportunity for meditation
I am pretty sure that even those that are rich would not like a person with those kind of problems, and it is even possible they will despise it more than the average person, after all they know very well how difficult it is to make that much money, and having by their side someone that is wasting their money away in an addiction will seriously bother them, and it would not surprise me if it this eventually lead them to leave that person behind.
Making money in the gambling site was not the easy task,we need to learn the gambling game.Choosing one game in the gambling site will be the better option,then improve your skills in that particular game.So you become the best player in that game with the good skills,the skills itself help you to win a big money from that game.The gamblers should not get addicted at the time of learning the game,it will make themselves into many troubles.The gamblers should learn to play the gambling without addiction for the peaceful enjoyment from the gambling site.
On that note, a lonely person will try to look for a place to enjoy, if he sees gambling as a good venue for sure he will link himself into it and
that's addiction will start, once control is no longer present the person will submit himself into addiction.
But likewise, not just for gambling but there are many other venue or other channels where a person who are looking for enjoyment can be involve with.
Just how the mind will dictate is what the person will do, and if the call is inside gambling addiction is anticipated.
The lonely person surely get into bored mindset when they spend time without any entertainment.This may leads to the lonely person get into gambling and even their was huge possibility of getting addicted to gambling.The lonely person should entertain themselves with other stuff after he get addicted to gambling.
people who have a good mindset, when they are lonely they will do positive things like watching movies or playing games and it is better for them to have direct contact with their friends or family. escape when lonely by playing games is not a problem, by playing games they can make new friends if they play online-based games, this can also reduce the risk of loss if they do gambling. with the number of online games today and various kinds of genres that can also be played, they can just download and play it and also this does not drain their pockets.
Boredom is just an excuse that most gambling addicts use to defend their gambling behaviour, which is not even enough to justify the fact that they are going in the wrong direction. Aside from how populous online games have been, there are also social media platforms where someone with internet access can access whatever information they want, interact with people all over the world, and make fun out of owhere.
On the aspect of the online games I get calls from friends most times for me to play an iMessage game with them, and we do this all the time to help one another, and we challenge ourselves and chat all at the same time until one of us has something serious to do for the day. If not, we create our own fun out of nowhere, even without being close to each other. Technology has made things very easy for us if we have the right mindset and can make positive use of it.
Those who are rich and like to live alone have no friends those type of people suffer from loneliness. People do many types of works for move on from loneliness. But doing gambling and move on form loneliness it's harmful for your economical condition. Find another way to move on from loneliness. Spend time with family friends etc.
Loneliness can make various kind of addiction in a person it can be gambling it can be any kind of drug. But in the case of gambling I think loneliness can be cause of the addicted gambling. Here also Many times a person becomes addicted to excessive gambling but becomes lonely and later blames it on gambling. I think this is what is seen in the above topicOn that note, a lonely person will try to look for a place to enjoy, if he sees gambling as a good venue for sure he will link himself into it and
that's addiction will start, once control is no longer present the person will submit himself into addiction.

yes that's correct. because those who are addicted to gambling will find it difficult to recover or even reduce their own gambling activities. The role of other people in supporting addicted gamblers is very important. it can limit the gambler's focus with other activities that keep the gambler busy. and slowly the activity will decrease and may be more controlled.
the difficult ones are those who have a closed nature, even to their family. Gambling addiction in someone who is introverted will be very difficult to overcome. Maybe it will even have a very big impact on the people around him.
If people who are addicted to gambling want to talk about their problems or share with others what they are experiencing, they can get help from other people immediately and overcome their gambling addiction. But perhaps many gambling addicts prefer to keep their gambling addiction under wraps and won't let other people know about it. This is the problem of gambling addiction that cannot be overcome immediately because they do not tell the people around them so they cannot be saved immediately. Help from the people around him is what can provide encouragement to the gambling addict to be able to undergo the healing process and will try to help him recover from his gambling addiction.the difficult ones are those who have a closed nature, even to their family. Gambling addiction in someone who is introverted will be very difficult to overcome. Maybe it will even have a very big impact on the people around him.
I think no one wants a partner who is addicted to gambling unless you are rich cause despite your habit, you can still manage financially. It would be better if you meet someone and plan to be in a committed relationship, try to change yourself first, cause I think it is been normalized that a man would rely upon their partner just to change their bad traits. Well, if you are already married there is a lot of distraction in life that you can do that you can even forget about gambling, like for example having a date, doing chores, work or even sex, etc. Just want to say that do not use marriage as a way of escape from your addiction, cause you are involving another party which I think is not a good thing.
If someone can meet a partner who wants to be in a committed relationship, he or she can get help because, with that commitment, they can share their secrets and help each other solve their problems. That is why someone at least wants to open themselves up to meeting lots of people so they don't feel lonely and have nothing to do. It can make him do something that might endanger his life and if he has to gamble to kill his loneliness, he will face problems that will turn into serious problems later. He must overcome his loneliness if he decides to be alone and does not want to open up to other people so that he does not take the wrong path and does not gamble, which could pose a big risk for him. 
Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.
I can see 2 possibilities here. Firstly, it could be that he really likes gambling so his wife left him. And what started out as just gambling for fun then turned into an addiction. It's the same as people drinking alcohol. It is unlikely that they will drink very much alcohol when stressed if they are not drinkers to begin with.
The second possibility is that he really didn't like gambling in the first place. Then because there were problems in the household, his wife decided to leave him. And he uses gambling as a stress reliever. However, the consequences can be very bad, namely that you will become addicted.
I don't know which one is true but there is a possibility that your friend knows about gambling and because of stress he ends up gambling more. Because it is impossible for people who don't understand the mechanics of gambling to suddenly have to learn to gamble to have fun.
During loneliness people do things that make them happy and help to kill time (for example to kill time until they have to go to work tomorrow). If they find gambling as a thing that will help them to do that, of course it will rise an addiction.
My story. When I was a kid, my house was far away from school, and around me there were mostly freshly build private houses. There were almost no kids of my age to play with. So I spend most of free time playing online games. I’ve got addicted to World of Warcraft. If I got addicted to that, anyone that is lonely can get addicted to gambling.

Become addicted to gambling when lonely may depend on the following factors:
👉Are you playing it for fun?
If he/she play it for fun, he/she can become addicted to it because he/she may not care if he/she loses.
👉Do you have enough money to gamble?
A poor person may not become addicted to it because he/she had no or little extra money he/she can lose often. So he won't be able to gamble often since he/she doesn't have much in his/her purse.
👉How often do you win?
If one win more often in his/her gambling. He/she will definitely turn it to a daily routine and this make him/her addicted to it.
That depends on each gambler who enters a casino. If you are alone in life and you are not very friendly or accommodating to people, gambling can really be a tool to be your partner, as you are alone in this world.
Of course, this is what helps you to relieve the sadness you are going through, and it may just be a gamble to always be with you so that you can be happy, even if it is just for a moment. But if you are not a rich person and you live alone, I think you will have a problem in this situation, in my opinion.

If someone is not married and is addicted to gambling, maybe he will not think about marriage because his focus is only on gambling. He will remain alone without wanting to do anything more useful than just gambling. But it will be different when he is married because if his gambling activities become known to his partner, he will be involved in a conversation or discussion with his partner about his gambling activities. His partner will advise him to reduce his gambling addiction and will even ask him to stop gambling by visiting a rehabilitation center. His partner does not want to see him continue to have a gambling addiction and wants to help him cure his gambling addiction.
yes that's correct. because those who are addicted to gambling will find it difficult to recover or even reduce their own gambling activities.

Yes you are right, maybe it would be more if a person who has an introverted nature who is addicted to gambling, because they always feel better alone but people like this tend to have a fast level of awareness, I mean an introvert will stop because they have a level of awareness, and if they are not themselves aware then it is also difficult to realize it.
I think no one wants a partner who is addicted to gambling unless you are rich cause despite your habit, you can still manage financially. It would be better if you meet someone and plan to be in a committed relationship, try to change yourself first, cause I think it is been normalized that a man would rely upon their partner just to change their bad traits.

That's right, there are many other good ways to entertain yourself if you feel sad and feel like you're alone in life. Yes, it hurts to be left behind but it doesn't mean the end of the world for you, you have to get up and move on because there are many other opportunities waiting for you. Don't ruin your life with gambling, there are many other things you can do besides that.
I think loneliness is the reason why people want to gamble, it's too kill our free time. But when you feel sad and feel alone in this life, that means you're not in a good condition, so could do something stupid or may harm yourself. To overcome this, one should try to deal with himself, try to find a good way to fill your energy. For an introvert can try to take me time, while for extrovert can try to meet with other people.If you know that you are lonely too much and too idle for anything positive in your life, you had better find other hobbies or try to hang out more often, there is no other alternative to that. This applies to introverts, extroverts, and even ambiverts, they all need to avoid the cause of loneliness especially if the addiction or the thought of it is becoming unbearable or dangerous enough that further affects the mental state of the person. If possible, thinking about other hobbies that are more productive is good and will not add negatively to your life but counter the bad thoughts. By doing this, I know the person can effectively counter the bad effects of loneliness over time.
And yes, indeed loneliness can cause someone to become addicted if they have no other hobbies or other activities apart from gambling so their thoughts are only focused on gambling.
Lonely people need friends to make them feel more alive and for an introvert it is difficult to mingle with other people or do other hobbies if inside they cannot do that, while extroverts or ambiverts can do other hobbies or hang out with friends to avoid loneliness.
Introverts prefer to be alone and do their own thing, they don't have the confidence to be able to go out and hang out with their friends, this is what causes them to be lonely and if they get to know gambling then that is what will cause them to fall into gambling and it could become addicted.
Flip the script. Responsible gambling may be fun. Gambling can be a fun, unique way for introverts to mingle, albeit digitally. Its about strategy, excitement, and chance, not simply money. Poker night becomes a virtual hangout for Sam, forging connections in silence.
But we must be careful. The border between pastime and addiction is thin, especially for lonely people. Responsible gaming and situations where Sam can find balance and connection in the virtual and real world are needed.
It is true what you say,but this can happen to someone who was not addicted to gambling before marriage.If one was addicted to it before he gets married,there is nothing responsibility can ever do about it.The reason they call it addiction is because it is very hard to stop.How do you think the family can make some one who has been an addict to gambling stop?When he is looking for more money to take care of his family's needs and the needs of his baby or wife,instead,the habbit will increase more because he really wants to meet up the needs of the family.
But you can easily change if you weren't really addicted to gambling before settling down.

I believe a person addicted to gambling even before settling down and getting married can still change his habit and quit gambling. Responsibility has a way of changing people. Obviously, not everyone can become responsible just by settling down. That’s when the spouse in the relationship has a good influence on the behavior of the man.
I know with an addiction, it’s very difficult to stop but it’s still very possible to quit. And with an understanding and loving spouse, the man, if he values his family would do anything possible to keep the family together including striving hard to quit his gambling habit.

This idea does make sense and the OP has given one of the headings that cause someone to enter and get involved in gambling. Everyone has experienced loneliness and whether they choose gambling or something else to occupy their time is a choice and it is also quite possible that circumstance could be the driving force behind why they choose gambling. I have one scenario where they are lonely and then open their gatget and accidentally find one of the promotions from an online gambling site and that's where it all starts, I don't think I need to continue this scenario because you can probably guess what will happen next.
So basically I think they can get into gambling in any way whether intentionally or not and one of them is this loneliness, the danger is when you try it and then you keep an interest in the activity. Yes usually this kind of scenario will be very likely to happen to those who are introverts and to minimize it they should try to be more open to the outside world such as playing with friends or relatives, it will be useful to distract you from gambling.
I have a friend whose wife who lasted with him for 23 years, with grown children of 18+, left them and went to the USA, he says that now he feels lonely, but sometimes I cheer him up and all that, but instead of launching into one of the most logical things for someone like going to drink a lot of alcohol or something, no, what he did was decide to get ahead, he gave up alcohol, 'he can easily go to Colombia to a casino play or from the phone to play, because I talk to him a lot about the casinos here that if stake.com, bitcasino.io, and I say the games, the slots and it catches his attention, he doesn't do something like that, he does it What was said was that he made the effort to stop drinking alcohol, and get ahead, so he is a person who did not think about drinking, or going to a casino, he is only with his son, his other daughter, well, she is also living With him, of course he feels alone because he himself tells me that he gets up at 3 am to cry, and when it dawns too.
So loneliness in people is not the Kind that many take it for , I think that life is very beautiful, a person who has how to travel alone, enjoy places alone , I think that is priceless, if you feel bad or alone, Well, it's easy to get out, search, maybe find a new love, but you don't have to indulge in things like gambling or alcohol, drugs, none of that is necessary, those things make you feel more alone, things are like that when you need them, do much more, for example a person who feels alone can go out, go to a park, of course, but yes, going out to play in a casino has to have a balance willing to lose, nothing more, have that for Don't fall into problems, because falling into addiction and then facing another problem, I believe that those things are not and should not be like that, if you are trying to overcome something you have to do it in the best way , not putting on yourself more things that bother you even more problems.
"Loneliness makes a person addicted to gambling" I think this statement is nothing more than a possibility or an indication that can make a person get involved in gambling just because of the urge of loneliness, not always directly into addiction but certainly involved in gambling, because for the matter of addiction will require enough time to experience many things that are tempting enough to end up being tempted and addicted. It's all a choice and everyone has different interests and interests in something, some of them may not like going out alone or other things, and that's why they choose gambling, it's all their right and it's up to them.
Now consider this: what if we reinterpret loneliness and the ways in which we respond to it? Imagine if we approached loneliness as a chance for personal development and exploration rather than as a gap that needs to be filled with diversions. It is far more satisfying to spend time doing things that not only pass the time but also feed the spirit, such as taking up meditation, learning a new skill, or exploring the outdoors. Doing our best to actively pursue positives rather than passively avoiding bad things in life, isn't it more satisfying? The idea is to look within for contentment and balance instead than looking outside, where it's frequently dangerous. This type of mental adjustment is something we could all use, don't you think?

I think loneliness is the reason why people want to gamble, it's too kill our free time. But when you feel sad and feel alone in this life, that means you're not in a good condition, so could do something stupid or may harm yourself. To overcome this, one should try to deal with himself, try to find a good way to fill your energy. For an introvert can try to take me time, while for extrovert can try to meet with other people.
This was not the common phenomenon to all the gamblers,only some people do the gambling because of the loneliness.But many people will get committed to the girlfriend to spend some time with her.The gamblers who had previous involvement to the gambling will easily get into the gambling due to their loneliness into the gambling.Because they had felt the happiness by the gambling play in their past,So they use the money to have the same fun at the time he doesn’t have any companions to spend the loneliness.
Having responsibilities in the form of a family can really change a man. It doesn’t always happen but commitment in the form of marriage could give the man a sense of responsibility and could help mend his ways.
Even with gambling, a man that gambles before he gets married may reduce or outrightly quit the habit due to his new found responsibilities that would help curb any bad habits he may have had. Like you rightly wrote, family should always comes first and is always a priority in the life of a man.
If the gamblers had the commitment with their family,he will try to use the free money to earn more money.He never try to use the time for the gambling,because he doesn’t have money to play the game when their family doesn’t have money to their basic needs.The responsibility may change the man from gambling to earning more money.
So, what am saying in essence is that gambling cannot help you solve a loneliness problem. Instead on the process of avoiding loneliness one can end up being addicted to gambling.
