Topic: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling - page 24. (Read 4155 times)

It is true that there is no real reason why gambling becomes addictive to relieve loneliness. It will generally depend on the individual's own will and if a person can control himself he will never become addicted to gambling and will look for alternative ways to relieve loneliness. Loneliness can be overcome even if you don't get a chance to focus on yourself many times. So it is important to pay attention to yourself you can keep your mind healthy by exercising regularly and following a healthy diet. Lazy brain also causes loneliness. Always stay engaged in activities of interest.

With the rate of suicide increasing due to loneliness, it would be better to embrace responsible gambling than taking one's life. Gambling might not be the ideal solution to boredom but it could assist in the recovery process for people who are suffering from depression caused by loneliness. Although I will recommend other means of fighting loneliness such as visiting friends, playing video games, watching movies, or seeking professional help if gambling seems to be the only activity that gives the person relief, there is nothing wrong with engaging in it responsibly. I am by no means advocating for gambling addiction but it is better than having suicidal tendencies. It is just a matter of choosing from two evils which one is manageable.

And with that loneliness, he will use it to learn poker playing techniques that can improve his ability to play poker. This is the same as making his loneliness even more lonely because he only thinks about himself to achieve high skill in playing poker. This is actually good because he can focus on practicing the game of poker to have high skills but the problem is, he won't think about other things because, for him, it's not important. He will only get deeper into his training until he achieves mastery of playing poker. If he plays poker more often, he will become more addicted to gambling because by practicing his skills in real poker games, he will definitely meet pro poker players. If he loses, he will definitely be determined to learn more so he can beat many poker pros and become a legend.

Becoming addicted to gambling starts from what we do continuously, and we rarely stop these activities to rest. This activity will become the most important in his life so he finds it difficult to stop gambling even though it is to refresh himself after gambling for a while. If he could balance everything, he would not become addicted to gambling and in fact, he would not only focus on gambling to fill his free time. Still, he would do other things because he knows that being in one activity, such as gambling for a long time without a break, can cause him to become addicted to gambling. He didn't want that to happen so he tried to time it.

For lonely people, they are really looking for activities that can fill their time so that they are not alone. People who are alone without anything to do can become frustrated because they are confused about what to do. Maybe this requires attention from his family, who can encourage him to do something so that they can use their time well and won't feel lonely. As much as possible, they should not approach gambling because that can make them feel comfortable gambling and they will eventually forget that they need other activities that can make them avoid gambling. If he remains gambling, he may develop a gambling addiction that he will not even be able to realize.

Loneliness is a very bad experience especially to people who weren't raised in isolated environments. And in a bid to keep themselves busy, lonely people do engage in several things which gambling is also part of.
But the better people who are lonely come to terms that gambling isn't a good engagement for them to get busy whenever they're lonely the better for them. Engaging in gambling when one is feeling lonely will definitely make the person to become addicted to gambling because he'll always gamble even when he's winning or losing

You are completely right, though i understand that most gamblers, if not all gamblers, don't usually know when they become addicted to gambling, but this does not change the fact that becoming addicted to gambling is as a result of the actions of the gambler, one thing that is very certain is that, addiction don't just fall on people, no one slept in the night, woke up the next day with gambling addiction, so, our actions of in-actions is what leads many of us into becoming addicted to gambling, and not just gambling, but any other activity that one can possibly get addicted to.

So, to avoid gambling addiction, like i did mention or say in my previous comment on another thread before this one, it is very important to take out time to engage ourselves in other activities that is outside gambling, for someone who is lonely, spending too much time gambling is one of the fastest way to gambling addiction, and besides, being lonely is a choice, one cannot be lonely if he or she decides not to be, it takes a very little effort to step out and look for someone to take to, start a good conversation with, rather than lock oneself in a room and gamble all day.

Gambling was analysed of the game had more possibilities of getting addicted whether man or women was not consider in this way of gambling.The gambler should ready to spend the time for the gambling,So the gambler will return with the profit to the gambler.The greater chance for the gambler,Once he is ready to spend time for the strategy building for the game.The game like poker need of the technical skills,this only make you to win more matches based on the technical skill in the gambling.The loneliness allow you have more time and that time can be used on the gambling by the gambler to build their own empire.

Yes, that's right because if someone doesn't have any activities and there are no people close to him, he will try to find activities that can make him feel comfortable. If he then finds gambling that makes him comfortable in spending time, he will probably spend more time gambling than doing other more useful things.

He will have a greater chance of becoming addicted to gambling, especially if he gambles almost every day. If you feel lonely, you can ask someone to accompany you to pass the time and you can also do something different every day so you won't feel bored. Actually, many things can be done, but it depends on a person's intentions and how he uses his time.

This is a fundamental human experience. Social creatures crave connections. The game alters when loneliness strikes. It alters our thoughts and actions. And gambling? A fast fix, a false friend. The realm of online gambling is vast. Right at your fingertips. It welcomes you when you're lonely and down. A mirage, nevertheless. It promises excitement and connection but delivers nothing. The cycle is harmful. You win, you feel fantastic. Losers chase losses. It spirals downward

The addiction is crucial. It's not simply gambling. What's driving it. Why are you lonely? Is it disconnected? No purpose? Addressing that is necessary. Gambling is a symptom of something bigger. Does loneliness cause gambling addiction? Definitely a factor. Not the complete story. How you face loneliness matters. Finding true connections and purpose. That's difficult. That's travel. Also, internet gambling? Distractions and roadblocks on that journey. Recognize, comprehend, and overcome. That's the real victory

Yes, this is indeed prone to happen, if they have already gambled when they are alone or lonely, they can just do gambling because I think that even in gambling there is pleasure that they will feel even though the great number of them lose, but this way of thinking has become common for gamblers because they have no other choice, sometimes when there are other choices they are lazy to do so they choose to take this (gambling).

It's true what you said. Maybe when they are lonely they should look for other things, such as talking with friends or family, but in my opinion, even talking with friends is also prone to gambling because many people are currently gambling so that the discussion of gambling has become a common thing that everyone usually talks about, so the point is to have good self-control, so that you can divert the feeling of wanting to gamble with other things.

It's how one handles solitude, not just being alone. Your friend's experience shows that emotional resilience is vital. Response to solitude is the problem, not solitude itself. Solitude leads to entertainment gambling, a slippery slope. Its distracting, but is it helpful? Hardly. Gambling, while fun, should be added enjoyment.

Your friend's recovery from pain, depression, and recuperation shows human spirit's resilience. But consider: Is hopping from extreme to extreme healthy? From deep depression to casino escapades, isnt there a middle ground? Great that he's found relief, but at what cost? Finding lasting fulfillment and joy requires moderation. Would volunteering, reconnecting with friends, or exploring hobbies be healthier? These alternatives offer entertainment without the risk of addiction or financial loss of casinos.

We can see it from various points of view, even providing various assumptions and arguments. but basically, we don't know the facts that actually happened. So far, we have only concluded from the posts presented in this thread. Talking about loneliness, basically humans are social creatures. then everyone will always look for ways to avoid feeling lonely, I mean based on the contents of this thread.
As living and thinking creatures, we will look for various ways to be free from loneliness itself. Moreover, in this case, loneliness occurs due to an incident or case in the household. This man was concluded to fill his loneliness by gambling, which in the end he suffered a lot of losses. In the end, he became a gambling addict. So is loneliness the main factor in this case, I don't think so at all. because, the man can do many activities that he can do and not just for gambling.

The point is, "Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling" maybe yes, maybe not. because this depends on how a person responds and resolves the problems that befall him.
referring to what you said, I agree with the first point. In fact, many such cases occur in the wider community. However, again a person will go through phases in times of difficulty.
for the second point, the problem of addiction lies within ourselves. and in fact, we cannot judge it. In fact, I have been in that position. then what is the point, there is no other word other than being a responsible gambler. The method?  It depends on how we understand and how we respond to gambling itself. for me, it's that simple.

From past experience, loneliness is bad and could be called a disease, once you get caught in the web you can start doing bad things, the mind is a very tricky thing at times, I think that's why people advice others to always get busy, to avoid thinking about doing bad things, but some people are really good at controlling their minds and thoughts, I still wonder why the evil.thoughts come to mind when you nothing you are doing, that shit is scary.

With gambling it's even more scary, you can't spend too much time with gambling, you will get easily addcited and on the other side you can't get too lonely doing nothing, you can also start doing something stupid or reckless, is there a part where you really can't get addicted to gambling? So confusing.

If you ever feel lonely and you have money on you, there are other things you can do to kill time, grab yourself a Nintendo console and have fun with some captivating story telling games like Zelda or Fire Emblem, you will be in good mood in a very short period of time playing these games, you aren't also losing any money too.

Yes, sometimes at first the addict is more busy with his gambling activities so that the people around him get tired of advising him and then leave him alone, in fact it is precisely because of gambling addiction that makes a person lonely because of his behavior and behavior that makes him abandoned by many people, for example his friends. or his family because he is a heavy addict.

It's difficult for addicts to be cured, therefore, don't ever indulge in excessive gambling. Anything excessive will never be good in the end. Loneliness can make gamblers become addicts, but all of that cannot be separated from the addiction in the beginning, therefore, before becoming a gambler, we are We have to get used to staying in touch with everyone because without that it will create loneliness which ultimately triggers us to continue gambling.

In my opinion loneliness can make more addiction on gambling. People feel depressed when they are lonely they have no one to talk no one to share their feelings etc. if you are a gambler and you feel loneliness and you don't have anyone to share your feelings you spend a lot of time on your gambling. Because of you want to move on from your loneliness you spend a lot of time for doing gambling. That helps you to move on from loneliness but giving extra time for move on from loneliness that's creates a huge addiction on gambling.

Gambling addiction is a bad habit. If you feel lonely then don't do over gamble for move on loneliness makes friends talk with your family members do limitation gambling and enjoy with your money to move on from loneliness.

There are many ways to overcome loneliness. If one concentrates on various recreational activities including reading books, watching movies, traveling, then he can get rid of his addiction. But if a person is allowed to read, he will not get the same entertainment that he gets from gambling. Addiction basically comes from one's interests. But if someone wants to get rid of any kind of addiction on his own, he can get rid of his addiction if he pays attention to the above things. loneliness does not make one addicted but creates a positive environment for one to become addicted.

I think that if we start checking the statistics of single people among gamblers, then there will be an overwhelming majority of them. The fact is that single young people often motivate themselves by looking for money for a future family. I know many such examples. And gambling is one of the ways to earn a lot of money quickly. Agree, if you get a lot of money, you can buy both an apartment and a car, and in this case the family will appear very quickly, because women love the guys provided with property.

If he's earning such hugh figures daily, that implies that he's not wasting money but also wasting every monetary revenues which he would have converted in providing essential aides for people to start or transform their lives about. The major aim of live is not how much you have, but how many lives you're able to impact during your existence on earth, we ought to do memorable things that we will be remembered for and not spending cluelessly on gambling with no solid results. Loneliness do persuades one to gambling these days? I don't think so because there hundreds activities outside gambling that can keep one busy all through today, or even for weeks, why do I say this? Because there are tourists centers to visits, vacation to go.

I agree with you, but for gambler when they are lonely, it is impossible for them to think of recreation other than gambling because they really feel the pleasant sensation of satisfaction when they win and the adrenaline rush that is quite challenging when in the final seconds of the game or bet for see whether you can win or lose.
Happiness and satisfaction from gambling is very different from other activities, in fact it cannot be obtained from other activities where gambling remains the first priority for gambler if he is lonely or does not have a job.

There are many cases where gambling is place of escape for many people out there who feel unhappy or are experiencing problems that are pressing on their mind or mind, and they even come to have other goals such as making money.
From everything it is clear that whatever the reason, when someone starts gambling, their mind will only have one thing they always want to do namely gambling, but still, as you said, everything comes back to the individual own abilities.

Well, loneliness is hard when the Person Intends it to be hard , because a person in solitude I think has to have a different attitude, because he is alone and has to be happy in some way, if a person is alone and Wants to die Well, he will die, Worse than that is what they Really want, but if it is a person who wants to get ahead with everything, then he will get ahead, and the game, in casinos, in real bets is not bad, it is a way to wake up and have a different means of Entertainment to get out of what you are Experiencing, you can do it, what happens is that you can do it but in a very moderate way, this so that you do not suffer disastrous consequences, because there are also other types of activities that can be stronger and do more than be stuck in a hole, I have my friend, his wife left him and at first he was very bad, he got depression and everything, with 23 years of marriage, children, and the wife didn't care It was important to leave him, I wanted him to be Calm, to pray, that she would Surely come back.

After 4 Months had passed, she came back, but he worried me, because he told me that his chest hurt a lot, he felt like his chest was opening up, that he wanted to die, and well, it's hard when you have a bad friend. I told him that he was going to look for another woman, he didn't want another woman, finally some friends over there told him that a very pretty friend liked him and he was getting on with the girl, and his wife is now doing it. search, now he tells me that he no longer loves his wife very much, nor the girl, but that he is Happy to have gotten rid of that pain , so the depression and everything that loneliness can cause he does not remove or do that gets addicted to the casino, the casino and all other means of entertainment and devicersion should be taken as that: "Fun" because otherwise a person gets carried away and dies Unnecessarily.

If you are really that earning that big then you would really be that become confident on which you do know that you could really be able to play with some few hundreds.
Commonly you would really be thinking that you could just simply work and getting paid then you can already play gambling but this is only into those people who dont have priorities
on which i could say that it wont really be that much of an issue but for those people who do have their own family or simply having mouths to feed then it wont really be that ideal
on spending up too much into gambling. You are really that putting yourself at great risks.

If you are on the verge of anger and disappointment or simply not really that being happy then for sure you would really be finding up things that would really be able to ease up that feeling.
Honestly, i cant really deny that gambling  could really patch up on that part, it is really just that things becomes messy on the time that you are already
spending tons and nothing gets left behind.
