Well for starters loneliness can cause so many things, I mean it's just like a popular saying in my part which implies loneliness or an idle mind is the devil workshop which to Some extend is quite true . So yesterday I was really bored and didn't exactly even know what to do so I was just trying out things that would keep my mind occupied and all of a sudden my friend told me that he is also bored that he has some pair cash that the gambling house would be a perfect place to go and atleast have some fun since the cash isn't having any significant value and that was how loneliness and boredom took to go play some game of card which if you ask can really cause someone to be addicted if not control.
And this means that in order to avoid this happening to us we need to develop a new set of hobbies, since this will take our minds away from engaging in dangerous behaviors, and what is funny about all of this is that if a person did it then not only they will alleviate their boredom, but most likely they will end their loneliness as well, as with so many interesting things you do, you will find other people that will like to share their time with you.

The environment are two ways; living around gamblers, and staying alone, but thinks about gambling. The later describes the thread. A situation where a gambler is not comfortable staying idle and decides to engage into gambling. Without having prior research on how it works. Negligence does more harm to anybody, but the gamblers have tougher harsh reward for not doing their research. In the sense that the person, who new engages in gambling out of heartbreak or failed relationship can easily get compulsive in gambling. So, loneliness in this context indeed effects to addiction. Newbie gamblers need to understand what they're practicing, before indulging into it. But the lonely person is exempted, since his only fault was thinking about gambler, he had nobody to guide or discuss about gambling. Their experience is quite a difficult one to threat.

Can't force those people to just meet someone when they are not really open to doing that. It's easy to just enjoy and mistakenly think it's gambling or taking drugs to cure boredom. It's not the cure obviously but it helps the person to occupy their minds other than doing something silly like hanging themselves to death.
Curiosity they say can cure boredom and loneliness but making the lonely person initiate something can be challenging. It's best to just leave it to the professionals.

I think their initial addiction was because they misinterpreted gambling, where they thought they could make money quickly just by gambling. and the other side is that if we have a lot of friends who like to gamble then it is indeed likely that we can be influenced, unless we have strong self-control then it is likely that we will not be influenced by gambling even though we have an environment that is very close to gambling.

Its about altering our connection with gambling as well as deflecting attention from it. Gambling may be fun when interwoven into ordinary activities. Its about making gambling a treat rather than a habit.
Isn't that difficult to do and it seems like very few gamblers can do it, especially for the gamblers out there who just gamble without any knowledge or insight regarding discussions like those in this forum.Its about altering our connection with gambling as well as deflecting attention from it. Gambling may be fun when interwoven into ordinary activities. Its about making gambling a treat rather than a habit.
Just see that the majority of gamblers out there cannot do what you have said and indeed they have other goals for gambling, they have an approach and mindset that is not just treat or fun.
Combining gambling with ordinary activities will have good impact in the future because they will never be able to really prioritize gambling alone because there will be sense of responsibility and also willingness to continue other activities that are much more useful such as work.
But this is not easy because many gamblers work just to be able to earn money and continue betting which they enjoy, and this is reality and habit that always happens.
I'm confused and looking for answers
If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?
It depends on the kind of loneliness you are talking about because I don't think there is a connection between loneliness and gambling, although loneliness can result to other things but I don't think it could result to gambling on less you have interest on gambling, however one of the stuff that result or makes someone to start gambling is being jobless and at that moment you are vulnerable to anything that can easily Fitch money for you and perhaps gambling will be the only solution so that's one of the things that makes someone to join gambling easily. If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?
This is valid, unless you also have that kind of interest with gambling, your loneliness will lead you to keep playing to forget about something,
but on the other hand, you are developing addiction.
Though there are many other things that you can be involve with, but if you are already have that desire to play it can bring you to keep playing from time to time, making you to resort your loneliness to gambling and add more danger to yourself.
Once addiction dominates you, it will surely harm the balance with your mental and financial capabilities.
I have so many friends that are addicted to gaming and they would not mind playing games everyday just to keep loneliness aside.
There are different things we can do for ourselves that would keep us business if we are less busy without going fully into gambling because we want to deal with loneliness. Gambling is not supposed to be everyday even though we don't have a job. There are times when we can choose to relax and catch some fresh air.

How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?
If you are making $600 a day, that's $20000 in a month, and because you are only you start having interest to gamble, what do you think this is?
All these questions is been asked because someone close said all these and I think he are losing money and losing himself too, of all the discussions we had, these are the points I held unto.
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.

Absolutely it can develop such habit.Not only when you are lonely but most of the time when you feel sad from the events of your life like in this case which is a major blow when your wife leaves you no matter that we as men make jokes about our wife in reality it hurts to live without them most of the cases.
Loneliness can only increase the sadness from the events of your life and thus people tend to find relief in alcohol,whores and gambling with this last one being the most dangerous of all together with the first one alcohol.When you go with whores as long as you keep protection nothing bad happens
.Yes loneliness can be one of the factor due to which a gambler may become addicted to gambling. A person who is alone has no one with him to talk about , or to spend the time and therefore he will try to engage himself with something which is available to him easily and the only thing that comes into the mind is gambling.
Since there is no one available to him for counselling or for any advice and he will continue to gamble all day long or all time when he is alone and therefore he can easily become addicted.
Agree. Loneliness is just one of the options that can cause a person to become addicted to gambling or something else. But it is possible that even if he had many friends and something unpleasant happened in his life, for example, his girlfriend left him, then it is likely that he would also start doing something bad, for example gambling, not counting it's entertainment.
You said that there is no one around and no one to advise. But it is not a fact that if someone were nearby, the person would listen to him and do the opposite, rather than play. Often in such a psychological state people do not hear others

Diverse activities can distract from gambling. I think establishing a balance between leisure and distraction prevents bad behaviors. Moderate, recreational gambling should be considered. Its like eating dessert in moderation - the dose, not the poison. Light, controlled gambling may satisfy the craving without addiction. Turning gambling into a controlled hobby is the goal.Its about altering our connection with gambling as well as deflecting attention from it. Gambling may be fun when interwoven into ordinary activities. Its about making gambling a treat rather than a habit.
This is dangerous because they cannot see other more interesting activities besides gambling. Those who initially use gambling as entertainment, over time, gamble too often, and eventually, they become addicted to gambling.

Loneliness can also push a person to gamble, hoping to get some fun and associate with people. However, he must be aware of gambling before venturing into it. Maybe he's been engaging in gambling discussion with friends, then when his life became lonely, he'll have to practice those things he has on his memory. Same applies to other utilities people may begin to indulge into once they're lonely, some could be video games, or walking. And a lonely person doesn't mean he's unemployed. Employed lonely people are gambling addicts, too. Being jobless contributes as you said, but basically, it's mainly about what the person has in mind. A jobless person who is not lonely may not remember to participate in activities like gambling, because he'd be discouraged by the people around him. Loneliness is a situation where the person has nobody to share his thoughts and decisions to help them know about the view of others regarding the issues. He takes actions based on his decisions alone, hence once they've thought about gambling, nobody would be there to coach or moderate them.
I think loneliness and other sort of emotions can lead to gambling even if they initially don't have the interest in it. This is because once you grow weary and feel you are alone, it can make you divert your attention to something else to distract yourself. You become more vulnerable when you are lonely, so in result, you can do things that you don't initially like to do. Loneliness can make you try to explore things you haven't done before and that could include gambling. The downside when you are introduced in gambling during your lowest of lows, you might become impulsive and irresponsible leading to other worse case scenarios.
That's because they don't have many activities and more often stay quiet, so they feel lonely without any friends or close people visiting them and being able to distract them from that loneliness. They just need to look for activities that can divert their attention so they don't feel lonely, whereas when they are busy with their activities, their minds will not think about gambling. And if they can do lots of activities throughout the day, it can help them really not think about gambling and can prevent them from gambling in the first place. It will be one of the great solutions for those who want to avoid gambling and divert their attention from gambling. They also will not have a negative mindset to do things that have a bad impact on their life because what is on their mind is completing every daily activity because it can provide more pleasure.Its about altering our connection with gambling as well as deflecting attention from it. Gambling may be fun when interwoven into ordinary activities. Its about making gambling a treat rather than a habit.
