I'm confused and looking for answers

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?

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.

Loneliness can not make you be addicted to gambling, but if you're already addicted, loneliness can make it impossible for you to stop. If you're not a gambling addict already, you can look for other fun things to do to kill the boredom, except you're already gradually becoming addicted, that's when loneliness is a big problem to you because wheneve you're lonely and alone, the next thought is to do something exciting, and nothing more would matter to you at that moment other than to depend on gambling to alleviate your mood. And before you know it, you end up loosing money you didn't plan to. So if you're already an addict, the fist step to fighting the addiction is avoid being alone or lonely as much as you can. Keeping your mind busy or hanging around friends who don't gamble will make you not to think of gambling and gradually you'll see yourself fighting the addiction.

Loneliness absolutely has no link to gambling appetites rather loneliness would make you feel dedicated to your endivoirs because you would be faced with no distractions. While contrarily, your undisruptible engagement who is fused by a longlines can be an addiction if time is not taking.
Addictions is mostly come from a pleasury activities or matter of depression where one can't take control of it's emotions.
So... If that of your guy has been a gambler before his marital issues and he is flexible to his emotion's then is absolutely liable to an addition to gambling and on such circumstances is just how he would keep to loosing over and over like he basically fails to stress on winning instead he would only want to have a fair play where he seems to take it for fun but regretting after realizing how much loosed.

Loneliness can have great effect on the way we bets which can be a big factor of becoming an addicted gambler. Many people in the past had faced this kind of challenges many time without getting ride of the addiction. Addiction can be with us for ever or for a long time depending on how long we are able to work on it to become a better gambler. Most time addiction can eat into our bone and keep making us to keep gambling without knowing the effect it could pose to us in a long time. We need to try our best in whatsoever condition we find ourselves so that we don't become a severe gambler due to addiction.

Lonelinesses means idleness, it's obvious that when you are idle, a lot of things come to your head, especially if you are now bored and need to kill the boredom, then you will definitely think of your hobbies which is where the whole thing starts. It's nothing bad if it's such loneliness that makes you just do your hobbies once in a while, but when it's becoming what you do again and again without having control over it, then it's an addiction.

So, yes, loneliness can aggravate addiction, and to make the matter worse, loneliness might make the cure of the addiction difficult unless the person first kills the source/cause which is loneliness/idleness as you might want to call it. Without winning the cause, it will be aggravated and it will be so bad and controlling. In this situation, I strongly advise the person to step out often, and if there is enough money, get yourself engaged with external activities like watching movies, hanging around friends, visiting the gym and even library among others.

Lonely ness create addection. If you do a work. For remove you lonlyness. If you are trying to remove your loneliness by doing gambling that us very dengerous for you economical health. Being addected on gambling that is harmful for you. Do gamble for fun and lead luxury life. Don't addected with gambling it will distroy your life.

That is true, entering into gambling because of loneliness is not good because it will affect you in many ways. You will not make good judgement and you might even stake beyond your budget in such a situation. Gambling will not take the depression away and you might even enter into depression should you lose huge amount of money.

Instead of gambling, a depressed person can play video games or other leisure things that can take his mind off the depression.

Although that is true but on the other hand in my opinion it goes back to each individual, if indeed they do not limit themselves at all then obviously choosing gambling to treat loneliness is not recommended, but on the other hand if they can apply many restrictions with a mind that is always aware or means not getting carried away then maybe it won't be a problem. But yes basically even though gambling is still an activity that is better avoided, after all there are still many other activities that can give you pleasure when you feel lonely or bored and also without risk.

Usually like cases that often occur instead of them getting pleasure and relieving depression from real life problems but what happens is the opposite with the gambling they do it actually adds a lot of problems, especially in terms of their finances, it is clear and there is very much evidence. Therefore I think you should really consider every decision you want to make, see the negative impact first before you regret it.

Loneliness does not make people addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction occurs when people lose a lot of money gambling and for some reason people suffer a lot.

A person who takes gambling as a pastime can never become addicted to gambling.

Here the man may have already had a gambling addiction due to which his wife left him. After his wife left him, he suffered more and became more attracted to gambling.

I don't understand what you mean but I think I understand what you are saying, loneliness can indeed lead to gambling addiction if they are not based on self-control and are easily carried away by emotions, in my opinion not everyone who is lonely and then gambles will find that the addiction depends from the nature of gamblers, even people who gamble openly can develop a gambling addiction if they cannot control themselves. The good side is that there are still people who remind the person to cure their addiction so that gambling openly can still be supervised by friends and family.

However, there comes a point where someone who is lonely tries to get rid of their boredom but they don't have a job or someone to accompany them to get rid of their boredom and finally they gamble just for entertainment. They consider gambling to be like playing a game. If they can control their finances well then they can avoid gambling addiction.

It usually depends on the individual's own will to not become addicted to gambling. If a very bad person is addicted to gambling to get rid of loneliness if he hopes for something good then he must look for other ways to get rid of loneliness and not make himself destitute by getting addicted to gambling. As easy as it is to get into this world once it becomes an addiction it is harder to get out. This is why it is important to change your position and set goals for a meaningful life set your goals whenever you think that life is over think about building a new life. If you feel very lonely contact old friends if you are in entertainment you can easily remove loneliness.

yep, exactly. loneliness should not be used as an excuse to gamble or in other words gambling is not the right place to get rid of loneliness because it has a bad impact in the long term and there are many more ways to forget about loneliness with positive things as you said and there are other ways you dont need to contact friends Its a long time or better to invite someone to cycle around looking for a place to buy food to relax and there are many more ways to avoid loneliness without having to gamble.

all of this must require one own mindset or goals If the person feels emotional when lonely because of the loss of someone they love, they will definitely vent about bad things such as drinking and gambling, but actually that not good and that not the way an adult should think we avoid it.
for anyone who is lonely, try to think maturely that we are not living alone and gambling is not a good place to relieve loneliness.

- Loneliness can make anyone find different ways to fill the void. I also gambled regularly because I broke up with my girlfriend, but thinking back, it was a youthful impetuosity.

- We don't seek pleasure from gambling, so what the hell are we playing? Like those people, they only think that gambling is everything. It's also possible that it's part of a sign of gambling addiction, but as is the case it's just loneliness.

- If the OP is talking about the hypothesis then I think maybe I could make money magically with gambling games but honestly I wouldn't really spend that much time gambling, for me that's the way to go. It's best to get rid of the old rules and no one forces me to play.

You're right, they should vent their emotions on positive things, including exercising, right? As for chatting, I think it's good but don't involve discussions that lead to gambling because if it leads to gambling, they might do gambling, so it's also best to avoid conversations that lead to gambling. And also don't choose the wrong friends to talk to or chat with.

Yes, because the environment and relationships are very influential on behavior, that's why when someone feels lonely, it's best to look for someone to chat with or friends to just look for fun other than gambling or to gather with family because family will usually always make the lonely atmosphere even more crowded. I often do that. when gathering with family to just chat and have dinner together.

You don't have to look for friends if you still have family, because family provides a quieter, warmer atmosphere, sometimes when we are with friends there may be discussions that lead to gambling unless it is a friendship that most people have is good, it won't be a problem. but for me personally loneliness is a moment where I can introspect myself so I don't need anyone to chat because loneliness doesn't completely make me addicted to gambling.

Gathering with family can make them forget and eliminate their desire to gamble, because with a cool chat that also makes the atmosphere warmer it can forget their desire to gamble. Also with friends they can do as long as their friends are not gamblers either, gathering can play with video games, or others that can still be done by them with their friends, here they also have to be smart in choosing friends not just choosing friends. That way they can avoid the desire to gamble, but if their friends are the same gamblers it will be useless if they get together, because it could be that the chat will lead to gambling.

Even if you are lonely and not fully addicted to gambling, it doesn't matter, it's even good when you are lonely but you are not interested in gambling, people's thoughts are different so they have their own choices, but don't let when they are lonely they run to gambling because they want to find pleasure, the other side is not a problem if they only intend to find pleasure but what is feared is that they can be interested periodically and this will endanger them later if they are continuously interested in gambling.

Depression is the lack of desire and will to live, sustain a routine, make long term plans, and feel pleasure for activities which used to be pleasant before. So I really don't know if depression could be considered a trigger for gambling addiction, because in fact it seems a bit contradictory, since a depressed person doesn't have energy or will to maintain an addiction for gambling.

But it's true depression is directly linked to loneliness, as people tend to stay away from social interactions when they are on this prejudiced state of mind. I just don't see a link between depression and gambling, which could eventually proove the relation between loneliness and gambling as well.

A lonely person is called so because they lack any form of companionship and it might be because they don't know how to make friends or people just avoid them for their personality traits.
In anyways, a lonely person who has had time to spend on their phone and therefore sees how possible to earn some winnings from gambling online will do so as often as possible because it is thrilling and no one would bother them.

Of course, the easiest people to get addicted to gambling are those who are the most lonely and have the means to engage in gambling at any moments call.

Lonely has much to do with the development of problem gambling, I can agree with it, but it is not the only factor which can lead anyone to gamble recklessly, certainly loneliness won't help in any way, shape or form.
A person cannot be alone or feel loneliness, but suffer from alcoholism or engage much of their spare time with people who also gamble without setting personal limits, the usual result is the first person learning the bad habit of those around him.

The loneliness case happens because the person tries to fill the hole of their loneliness with other activities and gambling is one of them, though it can also be videogames, pornography, women, etc.

In short, we are not supposed to underestimate loneliness...

Some people do consider that when you are lonely and being on a stressful condition then you would really be sticking or trying out to do on which you've been get used to deal with
then you will really be trying out to gamble and trying out to ease those feelings or emotions but i do agree on some points that losing money in gambling is never been fun.
This is the reason on why i dont really see this as a solution when you are in loneliness and boredom. Play gambling according to your seek of leisure and fun and
not on the sense that you are really that eager to play just for money or trying to make profits because this would really be leading you into your demise.

Loneliness makes people depressed and people do many things because of loneliness. Due to loneliness, some people become addicted to drugs, some people become mentally ill, and some people choose loneliness as their life partner. If you feel lonely after gambling then you can become addicted to gambling but if you don't know about gambling in the beginning and if you feel lonely then I don't think you can become addicted to gambling. He who has no idea about gambling will not think of gambling in his solitude but will probably adopt the things he is used to. Some travel to avoid loneliness, some play video games, some become drug addicts, so everything has positive and negative aspects. If someone wants to get rid of loneliness in positive mind then he must do traveling or any other work, if someone wants to get rid of loneliness in negative way then he will get addicted to drugs or do all other negative things.

I agree with everything you said, but it is easier to get rid of loneliness if you are next to your friend, he will feel that he is not alone and that he still has friends, so it will be positive for him. He will no longer go to the point of becoming addicted to anything, because you can only do that thing to forget, to get rid of the pain even if only for a short time. Loneliness can lead to any positive or negative habit, it depends on you. Because I also know some people who are like this, they are alone in life and have left their girlfriends and husbands but they still fighting, they keep themselves busy with other things and their friends are there who don't make them feel lonely.

if they have the means to gamble and have the least option on what to do in their free time. Most idle minds are the ones with no good ideas which sometimes include getting high to cure boredom and then if not satisfied they resort to more satisfying entertainment.

in my country, the authority in gaming corporation have the ads containing the advice saying "If you are lonely, don't gamble." i think this is a common cause of bankruptcy to lonely people.

Loneliness can cause loads of things and in some cases, you'd prefer to have one of its consequences as gambling than depression.

If the only thing you have as a remedy to loneliness is games and precisely gambling, then it takes time before you falll into the plague of addiction. Most times people don't really intend to get addicted to gambling but the frequent visiting and consistency in the game brings them to the standpoint of addiction and the funny aspect of it all is that they still might not be aware that they are at the threshold of gambling addiction. At such point, you can attribute their addiction to loneliness

Actually, this lonely person needs friends to chat with or do something to spend his time with instead of choosing to gamble. Some people are lonely and have no one around them, but they can use their time well. He can look for something to do to fill his time every day and sometimes he also gets requests from neighbors who are some distance away to help him. This really helps him because he doesn't think about gambling or negative things but can instead spend his time doing something useful for himself and often, he gets paid for the help he provides. If someone can do something like that, of course, he won't feel lonely because there are people who need him. This is why if someone feels lonely, he can visit his neighbor and say hello and ask how they are.
