Normally, people will always talk about other people's habits, whether it directly affects them or not, so it shouldn't be of much concern to a gambler when people talk about their habits or their participation in gambling, well except my gambling habits is a problem to me or to them and is either affecting them directly or indirectly.
But as long as I know that I keep my gambling habits in check and I try to be as responsible as I can be in my gambling, then what others say or thing shouldn't be of importance and concern to me.
People should care nothing about our activities as long as we are not giving  them trouble about our gambling activities , because it is our time , money and life that is in risk and spending .
though at some chances we are giving consent to our love ones so they can support nor advise us whenever we have troubles or we are in success ,that is the importance of other people but in totality ? idon't care about what they say to me.

Nowadays only in not so well developed countries people like to talk about each other life,in people where life is rushing and is very fast paced in general no one has time to deal with what you are doing or with what activity you are spending your time.Of course in the offline casinos in any country people will talk,look at that person going to the casino and losing money and we cannot stop this general judgement against gamblers,this is passed on by generations to generations.I mean in a country not really fast paced like the one where I live,people invade your privacy and ask you things that they shouldn't like coming near you and trying to see what are you doing with your phone,making you at risk even when you do online gambling.

I think one should not care about the other people's words but if it is your family then that is against your gambling then surely you will be on the wrong path and you should stop to gamble. Other people cannot tolerate your success but it is your family who work day and night to make you successful so if they stop you from doing anything then it will be better for you to follow the instructions of your parents.

I think most people think that gambling is not a good thing but they will never show their behavior to you because nowadays everyone is in struggle to spoil the life of others. You will be familiar that if your friend is involved in gambling then he will surely force you to do so while your family will always advise you to not gamble as it's not a good field.

They don't like seeing us playing gambling and worry if we gets the problems from gambling so they will say many things to us, including saying that we can becomes addicted to gambling. If you don't listen to them because you thinks you can take care of yourself while playing gambling, you will not thinks too serious with what their saying. When you can wins from gambling and they heard about that, they will comes to you and some of them will asks for the money and hopes that you will gives some small amount to them. While the other people will say anything about your winning and some of them jealous with what you gets from gambling. If you are not addicted people to gambling, you will not hear what they say because you can prevents yourself from the problems and will not gets deeper in gambling.
I would only listen to those people if they start funding my gambling sessions, that way they have the right to mess with me and tell me when to stop whenever I gamble but otherwise, it's none of their business to be bickering about my gambling habit, I get that some of them don't have any bad intentions and that they're just concerned but look at it this way, I'll only stop and ask for your help when I verbally ask for it. That's a natural thing for these people, they'll laugh and mock you when you're down but then the wind changes and fortune favors you, they're suddenly your friend that have supported you since day one.

I personally don't give a fvck about other people's opinion not unless it is a constructive criticism. It is actually none of their business and people always have something to say whether you do good or bad and that is natural for me so it doesn't matter. I am not that addicted to gambling before though I know I have mistakes but I never really heard someone had told me some thing about my gambling thing but instead I do constructive criticism to others especially if they are my close friend, relatives or even a family member since it's natural for us to be concerned about them doing something that is not right in gambling specially when I feel they are way too greedy or irresponsible.

Yes as long as you're not harming them or as long as you're not gambling with their money then obviously there's no point in paying attention to criticism from people like that, but yes like you said unless the criticism is constructive and leads you to better things, like for example they advise you to take a lot of precautions and gamble with only the money you can afford to lose then obviously it's not a criticism but a helpful suggestion that leads to precautions.

Actually, no matter what your situation is, whether you are addicted or not I think filtering out some of the criticism that other people throw at you is a necessary action, because for example out of 10 people who comment there are probably 5 - 9 people who give positive comments that advise you to for example be more careful or suggest other things that are useful for safety while you are involved in gambling.

that's right, it's our right to gamble or not, so we don't need to think too much about what other people think about our gambling, because it's our money, it's us who lose or win, so why do we need to care about what other people think? so instead of worrying about what other people think of us, it's better for us to focus on what we do and not gamble excessively, because that is the most important thing compared to thinking about other people's opinions.
It's true that thinking about other people's comments that speak ill of us just because they see us gambling will only make us feel depressed even though we gamble doesn't harm them and we gamble using our own money without asking other people. Apart from that, gambling is everyone's right, no one can forbid it as long as they don't has any contribution to us, so keep doing what you feel happy whether you gamble or not because it's your own money, but the most important thing is that you know the limits of gambling and don't overdo it, sometimes when people gamble they can become addicted if they can't limit themselves then Therefore we have to prevent that from happening.

Actually, I know the purpose of other people reprimanding us when we gamble in public places, maybe they are just worried about the gambling we play. Indeed, as long as we are living creatures, we can remind each other and care about each other. But that doesn't mean we have to make negative comments and hurt our feelings, that will make us feel bad for other people and feel uncomfortable because they don't know us but they seem to know nothing about our lives so whatever their input is, just listen to it if it's positive listen, if it's negative, just ignore it.

If you started thinking of what people do say about gambling I don't think that you will be able to participate in gambling any longer so I know very well that gambling have to do with understanding and if you don't know the secret of gambling you will not be able to gamble very well so that is why I do like people to think on their own and know the application of gambling and they also advantages of gambling by their selves

      -    If what is being said is good, why should I ignore what others are telling me? If it is for my own good as a gambler, I will accept it and add knowledge to it.

But of course, if I know that nothing good can be done to me or nothing good can be given to me, I don't care about that; of course, I just ignore you. But if the money is meddled with and I'm the one who worked hard, I don't care about that, of course.
A person's decision to gamble is a very absolute decision from themselves so it does not need to be linked to other people, although it is also not wrong to accept advice from other people regarding gambling. But basically every gambling that we carry out is absolutely from our own intentions without having to interfere with other people because everyone uses their own money for this. Apart from that, we also feel losing and winning in gambling ourselves, even though other people also experience the same thing in their gambling, but the feelings of sadness and happiness that arise through gambling are individual.
There is no problem with me taking advice from other people for gambling but I am not willing to take any advice from other people that has any negative effect on my gambling. I know how to gamble and how to stay within my limits when gambling. In taking any decision, I will take the decision that I understand best because I am the owner of that money. Not everyone's advice will always be acceptable to me. If I lose my money by my own mistake there will be my satisfaction but if I lose my money on other's advice it is hard to bear. I will prioritize my own decision no matter what others say.

One thing to say with those people that are trying to distract us while we do our own thing, mind their own business.

I don't care a thing they say, am I gambling with their money? am I using their time? No, they don't and that's why I don't care about them and whatever they say upon looking at my activities whether on my laptop or smartphone.

We've got our own lives to deal with and it's too short to be thinking of the welfare of other's activities.
Let’s just accept the reality that we can’t please everyone, and that we don’t have the control to what they want to say. Gambling can be a bad thing, but only for those who can’t manage their gambling urge and turn into irresponsible gamblers. However, for those who are good and responsible one, then there’s no way they’ll care whatever people will say.

I used to get affected with how others comprehend about gambling, but I realized this is what makes me entertained and sometimes makes me profitable, so I’m actually benefiting from it. I will continue gambling as long as I want, and as long as I’m using my own spare money. My money, my rules, and since they don’t contribute any goodness in my life, then they’re free to leave me on my own way and mind their own business.
It's great to see someone taking ownership of their choices. Listen, gambling can be a lot of fun, even profitable on occasion. I've seen it myself. Its about smart money management, knowing your limits. The naysayers always focus on the bad stuff, but thats a narrow view. Used responsibly, with spare cash, why wouldnt you enjoy yourself and maybe get lucky? You're showing it can be done right - thats impressive. Ignore the negativity. You could be the one teaching folks a thing or two about having fun and being responsible.

That's right, those critics need to be taught few things about responsible gambling. Their problem with gambling is as regards to addiction. What it does to a player, how addiction can ruin people's finances etc are the few reason why the non gamblers tend to say annoying things to gamblers. However, what people say doesn't add up to my habit provided it doesn't hurt them or affect their emotions. The problematic development of non gamblers is their ignorance to the benefits of gambling. If they had the idea of responsible players, their first comment whenever a gambler is sighted would have been whether the player is responsible or not.

Generally, in most societies, it's assumed that gamblers are failures. And most people had this thoughts while growing up. Now as adult they still think that every gambler would end up addicted or compulsive. That's the reason most of them still have wrong perspectives on gamblers. Gamblers on the other hand should develop a thick skin, because those stigmas won't stop now. Being able to withstand it, would help bring out the confidence to convince the critic that gambling responsibly doesn't lead a person to problem. They can also realize that gambling has different benefits aside chasing money.

First of all we all know that gambling is an entertaining activity where some people find their fun doing it, and it should be taken that way from the beginning. It is true that it is still seen as a bad habit from many people in our community and in our surroundings, maybe that is why some of us hide their gambling habits from their closest because they fear their reaction and how they would be seeing from the other side's perspective.
I personally don't care if anyone in my surroundings think that I am something bad when they know I am gambling because it is something I was opt to and I decided to do and I find my pleasure doing.
I have discussed that with my girlfriend for example, from the beginning of our relationship I confronted her about my gambling habits truthfully, happily she was okay with it as she understood me, we gamble together now from time to time and I can say it is way more fun to gamble with someone you know.
I think you should know the person a lot to open up about these things in order to understand how that person thinks and how he sees things first. And it depends on people, you can't also blame anyone on how he thinks.

So when I logged in, someone close to me easily peep from my left hand side and noticed that I just opened my account monitoring my games, at this point what he said is "ahh you don join dem"? Meaning you have also belong to the groups of people that gambles?

This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?
Mutual respect for each other is the key to living in harmony. I think you are a little mistaken in your own actions by opening an account or registering an online gambling account in a public place. For me, the advantage of online gambling is that it makes it easier for us to keep secrets about our gambling habits by doing it in a place that we like.
If we play in a place that people know, the risk is big. Let me give an example, for example if you win big or a jackpot on the game you play, your safety is not necessarily guaranteed from robbery.

Regarding what people say about the gambling we do, I don't think we need to pay attention because the money we use to gamble doesn't come from other people. Losing money as a result of playing is our responsibility.
I think this is very peaceful for me to say.

Million dollar question on this comment is how the heck other people knew that you are involved gambling now that we are on digital age which you can gamble privately in your room.

I’m gambling for so many years yet my colleagues or family member doesn’t know what I’m doing because I don’t share this information to other people simply because I have nothing to gain by doing that while there’s a lot of cons if you share it to somebody. It’s much easier to keep it a secret rather than expose it publicly then just ignore their opinion since you can have a much quieter gambling life if no one knows it.
True, unless if there's someone you do know that you are gambling or inside to your family telling about on the things that you are involved with on which it wouldnt really be not shocking if ever there would really be some leaking because these are the only possible ways on where those information that do came from. Its true that we are on a digital world and if you would really be tending to hide it up into everyones eyes
on what you are doing online then there's no way that they could really be able to tell that you are doing gambling not unless if you've been letting showing other people then they could really be able to say such thing but if there's none then there's no way that they could be able to say up those words.

If ever they would really be saying up something on the things that you've been dealing with then its none of their business. Its your money that had been used and not theirs.
People would really be loving on telling up something against other lives without trying to take focus into their own lives as well.

Let's discuss amicably
Like you said, you were on some business trip and naturally everything needs to be aligned in that theme but considering you went off course and one of the people you were with saw what you were doing would easily dent your privacy...and what if this person was a senior manager or supervisor they would easily say that that the reason for the drop of performance at work is because you are distracted with the gambling and to avoid all this better gamble in your own space of privacy.

Quote
Do you care about what people say about you gambling?
To some extent I do , especially that some people have had no luck with it to the extent of breaking their homes and going into debt...so to respect people's opinions and not have mine disrespected  I think it's best to not feed people what to think about you and that's by keeping your gambling habits to yourself.

Pro-gambling will definitely understand the feeling of being a gambler and how gambling affects their life. But for those against it, no way to expect them to say good but purely negative words. That is why I don't buy this kind of issue if I hear someone talking about it because the more we argue with and explain our side, they won't listen. In fact, it is not their money, and whatever happens to us, we never ask for help from them.

Besides, it is our choice to gamble. As long as we enjoy what we are doing (gambling), we must not care what they think about us. That is their problem, not ours.
