Topic: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling - page 17. (Read 4111 times)

Having financial strength will give them more room to allocate their money to places they think can be profitable apart from just using it for gambling. Even though they can buy expensive things, they can still earn more over time. We will not be like them unless we can also earn more money and generate more from our sources of income. We have to get this financial strength in various ways so that we can improve our finances better than before. One day, we will definitely be able to make more money, especially from the bitcoin investments we have made so far.

$500 is a small amount for them, but it is a large amount for us that we can use for the next few days or weeks. That's the difference between rich people who can make money from many sources of income so they can still spend a lot of money on whatever they want. But if they only use their money to gamble, gradually, they will run out of money because, in gambling, there will definitely be losses that will come. If they cannot manage their finances well, they will suffer losses and it could even cost them all their money and make them bankrupt.

It is true that not all billionaires like gambling. And when they gamble, they only use gambling as a way to have fun and entertain themselves in the midst of their busy lives. And it's true that they would prefer to have fun with their business partners as well as to discuss business collaborations so they can make even more money. That's different from us, who want to make money but don't have a stable source of income and gradually, we will just go bankrupt, whereas those rich people won't go bankrupt unless they become addicted to gambling.

Of course, billionaires have a better attitude than us because they know how to use gambling and they can use gambling as a way to collaborate with other business people or other billionaires. They already have calculations with everything they do so that they will not make mistakes for them and can get new sources of income from collaborating with other billionaires. Meanwhile, we are different from them because we want to make money while we will experience more losses than them. Even though billionaires lose to other billionaires, they can get something they want and it still benefits them. Their principle is that they are willing to lose a little of the money they have in order to make more money.

But not all billionaires will have passion for gambling and those who do have passion for gambling only use it as place to play to have fun and entertain themselves.
It just that people like this much prefer playing in land-based casinos because they play with their business partners who are also billionaires so they can laugh with each other and really make gambling for entertainment, not about winning.
It can be concluded that they are not lonely but have become habit of having fun by gambling and of course there is set schedule for their time.
After all, they will never be compared to gamblers in general who may have more time to spend at home and rest.

But what great is that billionaire who likes to gamble can have a much better attitude than gamblers in general.
We know that they have big businesses and have unlimited wealth and income, but they can gamble carefully and with full consideration in every action they take.
They have a lot of money and if they lose two or three times they don't feel the loss but they can still exercise caution unlike gamblers in general who don't care about all that and are even willing to borrow money to gamble just to recover their losses.

Making yourself occupied doesn't mean you're looking for the next dopamine hit, some stuff that can fill the void that will be seeped into by loneliness can be stressful stuff too like working almost all day and only getting a sleep as your rest. To me, that loneliness that someone's feeling isn't rooted in gambling itself because if they're addicted to it, it was their coping mechanism which would mean that there's a possibility that if we cure the source of that lonely feeling, there's the possibility that you might cure also the addiction. I'm not a neuroscientist but the brain needs a constant stimulation but the problem is that it's got to be something productive or healthy so it's not a Sisyphus scenario for you, replacing one bad habit with another bad habit.

We cannot do without not being lonely sometimes, situations of things do vary sometimes that we are not prepared enough to plan for how we should get engaged to every aspect of loneliness in us, some are occasional while some are just indeliberate by us, getting busy with gambling is one of the means we can adopt to avoid loneliness, but we shouldn't take it as an advantage of getting addicted to gambling at that cause.

Money can make someone entertain themselves in their own way, one of which is by visiting a gambling place which can relieve loneliness, but there are several boundaries that gamblers should not cross so as not to disturb other people's lives. Loneliness is only felt by people who are unable to go out in solitude, but for some people loneliness can be overcome by doing things that can bring joy.
Caring for yourself must be prioritized to prevent negative things that can be caused by loneliness, gambling is not a bad idea to get rid of loneliness. As long as they are betting with money they are ready to lose, they have entertained themselves during their time at the casino.

He has a lot of free time because he is alone, with nothing to care aside themselves. This could be the reason why they found gambling as a place to make their life busy and a sort of engagement with other people. I can't blame their addiction because no one can give them advice and no one to ask for it, they decide based on their wants.

If we have money, we can't make ourselves too lonely, so why not spend our money on things that give us happiness as well? As long as we don't bother others life, gambling is not a bad decision but of course, it should have some limitations.

Of course, loneliness can cause a person to become depressed. After all, socialization is part of our life, we need live communication with people, and not just on the Internet. If a player sits alone all day and doesn't go outside, of course he will find somewhere to throw out his emotions, even in gambling. A single player can even bet indifferently and without experiencing anything, he will be doomed to lose. And even if he wins, he will not know why he needs this money and what to do with it, which will ultimately lead him to inevitable loss.

I will add that there are more and more lonely people every year and this is an important world problem, but given what the world has become in recent years, no one cares about lonely people, so if we are lonely, we must solve this problem on our own and not complain and fall into depression. Then there will be no problems with gambling either.

Of course, their courage has a reason because the financial strength factor is quite good so maybe they don't think twice every time they want to allocate money to anything whether it's to buy expensive items or including gambling, they already have a powerful way of making money so it doesn't seem like too much of a problem for them to spend money at certain times. On the other hand, we are ordinary people or mean those who do not have the financial strength like them, it is a very clear difference and therefore we should not put the same amount of money as them because obviously we will definitely be confused if we lose because we do not have a good way of making money in real life and different from those who already have a way.

$500 may be a small amount for them but for us it is huge and can probably be used for living expenses for a few weeks, for time problems yes they are rich people are that busy and of course this makes sense to say that they don't have much time to gamble or even to just rest. Simply put the rich have a lot of money to gamble but not a lot of time, well whereas we have a lot of time but not enough money, the more time we have the longer we gamble and that can be the starting point of someone's addiction.

You do not see anything interesting in gambling does not in any way mean that someone else doesn't see it as interesting man. Remember, one man's food is another man's poison. Most times people claim to be unsusceptible to something simply because maybe they do not have the resources to engage, the time, the expertise or they are even afraid to engage in it for fear of the known dangers. I don't think you've really explored the gambling life, if not, you'll know that gambling is very much entertaining, but like I said earlier, one man's food is another man's poison.
signing in for gym class, dancing class. etc will be possible if the person was already into them before he became lonely and not starting it entirely, if he has possibly a friend that comes pick him up and motivates him to channel his energy and hurt to the new hobby, then its easier to adapt to your suggestions. Why, because it takes more strength to pull yourself together emotionally and start engaging in those profitable ventures rather than gambling which you can do comfortably from your house and anywhere.

There is a saying that when you are not in a situation, you feel its very easy for those trapped in it. To pull out of such dilenma that the guy in question found himself after his wife left him isnt an easy one and only those with strong character would do so after a while. personally, I blame his friends who allowed him to deal with this alone. A friend in need is a friend indeed, his friends possibly didn't play their roles properly knowing fully well the kind of person he is and that led him to the worst, now he needs serious rehabilitation to pull out of this mess he has found himself in.

That's because they already have a source of income so they can have a lot of money that will stay supplied if they use it to buy goods or gamble. They also won't feel like they're losing money if they only use $500 a day because their income is greater than the amount they lose at the gambling table. And they can even afford to lose more than that amount. That's something we won't be able to get past because the differences between us and them are clear so we have to be able to manage our finances, especially the money we use for gambling. But millionaires and billionaires will not gamble too long or too often because they are more busy with their daily work. They only gamble when they have free time and even then, they will not gamble for a long time.

Billionaires definitely have free time, but it will be different from ordinary people. They already have a schedule of activities they can do, and maybe gambling is already on their list of activities. They already have a list of activities so they can immediately move on to another activity when one activity is finished, so they will keep themselves busy with their work and other things.

I'm not sure if someone will get addicted if they gamble when they're lonely, I'm just afraid that those who are lonely take the action of gambling and because they can't control themselves they become addicted, where initially it was just to get rid of loneliness and when they gamble they may have other motives when gambling by pursuing victory, for example. If they can still control themselves it's not a problem, but if they can't control themselves maybe they will become addicted to gambling. And this can also be a serious problem if they are addicted.

It's true what you said, there are many ways to get rid of loneliness not just gambling. People who have a good mindset might do other things like exercising, going to the movies, or hanging out with friends and family. But people's thoughts are different, some are like that and some are like this. So whatever they do when they are lonely is fine if it doesn't harm others.

I will not agree with people saying loneliness can lead to gambling addiction, gambling is just a choice you make and the urge to win more can turn a gambler to an addict.
On a serious note I find nothing interesting in gambling absolutely nothing, people just involve them self in the act just because of the money involved.
Loneliness is the state of being alone and at that state you definitely need someone around to talk to or play some fun games
Various ways one can fight against loneliness rather than involving in gambling that plays with emotions, if possible sign in for gym class, dancing class, basketball games, visiting the cinema etc.

someone who takes action to gamble when lonely in my opinion is not wrong, only in fear that they become addicted which is difficult to stop later. I think that no matter how busy they are with the things they do they will definitely feel lonely too, and maybe they need a break from that busyness. But if they are always lonely, this is what should be avoided, because they have to find something busy to not feel lonely often, which could be when they are lonely they always gamble, it would be nice if they could find friends to chat with to get rid of their loneliness.

Also in my opinion there are still many things that can be done to get rid of loneliness. Like me, when I am lonely I do the things I like, watch movies, play games, exercise, or go out on a motorcycle. It's just that the habits of people who like are different, so they should be able to do things they like when they are lonely so they don't take action on gambling which has a negative impact.

Of course it's true with what you said regarding the situation and financial condition of billionaires, the amount of $500 maybe it's just a small part that is not difficult for them to spend or lose but that doesn't mean they always won't feel okay because it's possible that on the other hand they have or could have put a much larger amount because they feel they have great power in terms of finance and in the end lose, the situation of that large amount of defeat can also make them not okay because of their mistakes in an excessive approach. Yes that's right, at first glance I also think that someone who has become a billionaire will usually be very busy in their daily activities especially taking care of a business that they run, it is quite difficult to find free time if we are already in that position and let alone feeling lonely sometimes to find time to rest is quite difficult usually.

But on the other hand I don't think it will always be busy like that, they must also at least have a little free time to rest or find pleasure, the point is that no matter how busy someone is on the other hand they will definitely have free time and with that maybe they allocate their free time to gambling with the intention of just looking for entertainment to treat their fatigue from busy work and not to produce.

Feeling lonely might lead some people to gamble as a way to find excitement or to get rigged with loneliness.
Gambling can give a temporary sense of connection. But it's better to tackle loneliness directly by seeking other activities and building real connections instead of relying on gambling which can become a problem.
 

Therefore, this mindset has an important role in controlling ourselves from gambling because losing and winning are only part of gambling that must be understood, sometimes people just want to win and don't want to experience defeat so that's what makes them feel angry when they really feel it. lose and must recover that defeat with all efforts even if you have to lose even more money.

But they never get anything when they follow their emotions and obey their inner desires, therefore it is important when gambling to understand first that gambling has a risk of losing and you have to be prepared for that loss because if you are not ready you should never gamble, because actually gambling is just for entertainment, not a place to make money and seek wealth.

For a millionaire or billionaire, the amount of 500 dollars would be nothing because their income would still be greater than the amount they lost in gambling. But if he is a millionaire or billionaire, he doesn't need to be lonely because he must be very busy taking care of all his business even though he employs many employees to handle it. He should be able to enjoy this life well and there won't be any problems for him. He can also consider gambling as it should be and will not experience gambling addiction because he understands the bad effects of gambling addiction. But if he becomes addicted to gambling and ends up spending a lot of money gambling, there must be something wrong in his life.

You must be talking about millionaires or billionaires here, because if the gambling of 500 dollars is a small amount for him, then he is definitely a millionaire or billionaire. Because if he can only spend this amount of money on gambling then he spends more money to fulfill his other needs. But I think if the amount of $500 is too small for him, and he gradually becomes addicted to it, then there may come a time when he is bankrupt. Because there are many stories of rich people who have spent money on extravagant lifestyles and are now bankrupt.

If this gambler has businesses and produces a lot of profit every day, I think $500 a day is just a small amount. And if it helps with his sadness, I think that's okay.

But if he doesn't have other sources of businesses and his daily budget is like that, it can be said that it is quite a large amount and it's a waste, and it's true what others say that gambling is a place to throw away money. He seems to be real.

I'd say so, yes. Loneliness makes you look for dopamine, you do things which keeps your occupied so you don't think about being lonely, and gambling keeps you occupied. The more money you gamble, more that feeling of rush.

If one's brain needs less of stimulation, he can be fine without going to extremes such as gambling or it's addiction but if not, they can reach to the point when these start to become coping mechanisms.
