Topic: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling - page 27. (Read 4102 times)
$500 is not a joke for a average gambler or a low budget gambler IMHO. Based on that daily gambling budget he seems to be having a stable income. The factor affecting his interaction with gambling will lead us to the point he needs to be entertained. Loneliness and what had happened to him might be the most accurate reason he ends up gambling.
Loneliness can do anything virtually possible....
You see, when you become bored, you'll definitely begin to think of ways to alleviate the boredom... That's also a reason alot of peeps are being driven into porn and masturbation too.
So you be lonely and begin to derive pleasure in gambling excessively... It'll only take a matter of few months and, you're struggling to stop but, it'd be too late already...Eitherways, this doesn't work for everyone though.

Of course, loneliness can have both impacts on the person, the first may be a positive impact and the second negative, for the problem of what they will do when they experience boredom is completely out of control and depends on their own desire to allocate their intentions, carelessness has an important role in the problem of where they allocate their choices, Whether it's to fun but risky activities or just fun with no risk, and there may be other things like what you mentioned about pornography or masturbation, I would include both of them in one of the sections that they can choose to relieve boredom, because it is also possible.You see, when you become bored, you'll definitely begin to think of ways to alleviate the boredom...

If you divert your boredom to gambling then yes maybe for the impact it can be different - different, if indeed you come to gambling really only to relieve stress and boredom then I think there is no reason for you to overdo it because there is no motivation except for pleasure, and also it will not be a big problem because your involvement is only for pleasure and not for income. And if the impact you feel is excessive then it seems like I have to suspect you, it seems like you think this gambling is excessive and not for fun, right, it will be very difficult if you are already late.
When you go into more detail about your point that gambling can help people deal with stress and boredom, its important to remember that the line between joy and necessity is very thin. Some people can handle this terrain with measured restraint, but others may get caught and not be able to tell the difference between fun and panic. The concern you raise is not unfounded; figuring out someone's intentions is key to figuring out the growing problem.
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.

Sure this is definitely one way people end up addicted to gambling. There is a social aspect to gambling. When you are gambling on the same thing other people are in a casino you feel a part of what everyone else is doing. Same thing online if gambling on sports ypu end up on social media talking with different people doing the same thing.

Yes, loneliness can drive one into gambling. How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?
I wouldn't call that an addiction because I share the same thoughts. I don't see gambling as a fun, we all hide under the lie that gambling is fun, there's nothing fun about gambling. 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.
There are people who have a normal job, earn more than this and they are still gambling, so this figure is really nothing. Gambling is like a fire, if it's not properly controlled it can turn into a wildfire and consume you.

Does your friend makes more than what he use for gamble per day? If no, he really needs help before it turns into an addiction. needed up to control or else you would really be ending up on having that miserable life which would worsen up the situation considering that you have been divorced by your wife then it would really be just
that normal that pain is there but dont make things even more worst on making such bad decision.
You could really be able to ease up the pain on other acitivities which it isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things as well. You wont really be needing on spending up
tons of money on daily basis. You would basically be affecting your work and if it does then you would be having the risks on losing it and this is why you should really be
that stopping that kind of act before its too late or things becomes more worst.

It seems like it doesn't make sense that loneliness can lead to addiction and what I know is addiction because those who don't have good control when gambling and also addiction occurs because of the wrong mindset towards gambling or considering gambling as a way to increase money but end up continuing to pursue it. defeat.
Like the person you know, it doesn't seem like he's lonely but he has an addiction because he vents his emotions into gambling because he may have problems with his wife and in this case it often happens when he has a broken family that a man vents his emotions into gambling whereas gambling is not recommended when he is emotions because it has a very bad impact and if someone you know becomes addicted, it is his own fault for using gambling as an outlet for emotions, even though it is not clear what the problem is with his wife.
There are a lot of negative effects of being too lonely and one of those effects is that the concerned person tends to gamble oftenly in attempt to get engaged in something who might end up making the person a gambling addict. Like the person you know, it doesn't seem like he's lonely but he has an addiction because he vents his emotions into gambling because he may have problems with his wife and in this case it often happens when he has a broken family that a man vents his emotions into gambling whereas gambling is not recommended when he is emotions because it has a very bad impact and if someone you know becomes addicted, it is his own fault for using gambling as an outlet for emotions, even though it is not clear what the problem is with his wife.
The effect of ending up as a gambling addict is the reason why a lot of people today are seriously advised and sensitized not to see gambling as an engagement that'll keep them busy when they're feeling lonely and bored.
Nothing loneliness can not cause, if you are bored you can use gambling to pass time without knowing that gambling can make the person to fee free or relax its mind, their is something important that we suppose to understand concerning being lonely, to be gambling addict can be as result of looking for a way to recover what we have lost so far in gambling and another one is being lonely as you said and also be desperate in gambling can make someone to be addicted in a gambling, sometimes someone that is coordinated will not will not allow loneliness to take advantages of he or her to be addicted in gambling, but someone who can not control itself can be easily be trapped to be addicted

Well, I knew that loneliness may lead to many health issues and a person may go into depression and a lot of other failures, but this is the first time i am hearing that loneliness is also a cause of gambling addiction. This may or may not be true but I never heard this before in the medical science.

It is not necessary that a person is having issues with her wife and that leads to loneliness, it can be many other factors too. I think the bigger factor for the man's depression is having a lack of a good source of income. When a person is short in money, he would try to gain money from other shortcut methods and one of them may be to do excessive gambling with a mindset to become quickly rich with less time and effort.

Solely loneliness isn't an indicative to get addicted to gambling, because not every lonely people are addicted to gambling. There are another factors which must be also present in order to develop the addiction. Loneliness can be a boost on the process, but not the determining factor.
Factors can be biological, psychic and social, and when they interact among themselves the individual presents different behaviors, which may include the development of the addiction.
Anyway, if you feel lonely, you have to seek for help and support from a professional psychologist, if you don't have any friends or family around you. Not thinking only about addictive behavior, but also about a potential depression which may totally prevent the person from going further on his life.
That's true and there isn't really anything that could make someone gamble just because they are alone, but that also doesn't change the fact that it could be one of the reasons why they could gamble as well. When you are all alone without anyone, I feel like it could be quite possible for someone to get involved with gambling because they would be bored.Factors can be biological, psychic and social, and when they interact among themselves the individual presents different behaviors, which may include the development of the addiction.

Obviously, there are million other things that you can do when you are alone and gambling is not a must, I am not saying all alone people gamble, I am just saying that it doesn't hurt your chances of gambling when you are alone. This is why I think it should be quite important to make sure that we are going to end up with something that should benefit people on the long run.
apparently yes, since most people who visit casinos or play online are bored, alone, and don't have other activities they want to do, so they gamble to fill their free time and to earn money from the game. it is loneliness that makes them gamble because they have no other activities or are not interested in socializing, especially for introverts in big cities, such as in japan, where many people after work prefer to gamble in casinos and don't want to socialize with other people because of their loneliness.
If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?
Yes, loneliness has a greater chance of affecting someone to doing so many things, of which gambling is not an exception to what a lonely man or woman can not do, inasmuch as they derive joy and happiness from it.Quote

Not everybody who gambles, gamble for the fun of it but for the profit, and as such if someone says he/she gambles for the sake of making profit/money, I don't see anyhow that can be referred to as been an addiction, in as such as they still have control over their gambling habit,.Quote

Loneliness is real, and let's not try to pretend as if it's not, of which no amount of money a person has can stop him or her feeling lonely. Loneliness is a state of the mind, of which only the individual has loneliness into productivity, e.t.cLoneliness is not an excuse for being addicted in gambling, loneliness without having something to do is just as a result of being jobless, if you don't have a job then you're likely not to have money to use for gambling, so this makes gambling more of being engaged, busy and involved in all its activities, gambling is one of the ways one can use to deal with loneliness but not a way of one getting addicted to gambling except he choose to.
Yes,I agree on that hundred percent,I know what have been through being all alone,and each time I am less busy,or have nothing to do,the only thing that comes to my mind is keeping myself busy with my phone,and continue playing games which I end up losing.Addiction can be sometimes cause by many things,some can be as a result of greed,you want to win more which in the process,you end up losing to an extend that you won't want to stop gambling again because you want to win back the money you've lost.I have even tried deleting the Casino App from my phone,but it couldn't still stop me from gambling.
Most people get into gambling when they are at leisure or boredom, I will divide these two statements, some divert their activities by playing ordinary games and some assume to gamble, of course it depends on their own willpower. And I say you are one of the people who prefer gambling to fill boring time, honestly I will not prohibit or even blame your choice but I hope you already understand the impact and risks that exist in gambling, do not let you get caught up with the temptation that is there because obviously your gambling involvement will definitely deepen and I cannot deny that you have the opportunity to enter addiction. I agree, addiction can be caused by many things and one of the possible reasons is because of greed and another thing may be because you gamble with the aim of earning income, both of which are really not recommended. So the point is it's okay if you want to gamble but it must be with self-control and good and firm limits, don't be too ambitious in terms of winning because usually that is the starting point that will make you greedy and then addicted. Then after that you will enter a phase like those who are already addicted, namely gambling with the aim of catching up with previous defeats. It seems like you should look for other activities to distract you from gambling.

Honestly, you cannot treat a negative thing with another negative thing because it will just simply add to your problem, and Yes! it will create another big problem if you get addicted to it. Loneliness has varieties of cures and you can always try to look to cure it with positive activities rather than just giving yourself temporary happiness which will lead to more suffering in the future, especially when you are poor and cannot seem to fund your addiction it will just lead to some serious issues eventually and makes you more lonely.
