Topic: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? - page 26. (Read 4246 times)

Depending on the person who made such a statement could be a trouble for both the player and the person. As the gambler wouldn't stop immediately and the complainant wouldn't stop until he sees the gambler is not part of the habit. However, when we respect our family, it's crucial in making us feel more comfortable at home. But that wouldn't be simpler for a gambler, who has been in the game for long. He'd hardly change, I mean not immediately. That's why the person who disturbs the gambler must not pest his life to feel uncomfortable about himself. Because if he doesn't feel comfortable it could be trouble in the sense that the gambler may begin to avoid the person. On the contrary if the gambler understands that his habit is no longer favorable to the people around him, he is expected to make an adjustment.

Even if it's requires stopping the habit. As family means lots of fun to us than gambling would offer the gambler on the long run. No need proving anybody wrong, it may cause the gambler to get addicted. In the case of a stranger, they would be no need to fidget. Holding some conversations with him is excellent. At least to remove his doubts about gamblers being some weird people who don't add value to the society. That's what most people think whenever they see a gambler. Since they've got little information on gambler, that they can't differentiate between an addicted and a responsible gambler. The need for a close explanation would do the work. So that he wouldn't continue to see gamblers the same. Opening up to him that some gamblers don't misbehave like he's believed, growing up. Or wherever he got his intuition about gamblers.

We don't need to think about what other people say about us even though we gamble. They also won't know we gamble responsibly and always have strict boundaries. We can also know when to stop because we have that limit.

Just let them say what they want. If we don't like what they say, we don't need to argue about it either. That would just waste our time. It's better for us to return to our previous activities and enjoy them. They will then stop talking about us because we don't respond either.

After all, we take care of our lives and don't bother others. Those who often say untrue things about us will suffer consequences, especially if they meet people who know us.

In countries around Africa where there's this high level of discrimination about gamblers as they think they are low lives, it's more better and preferable for women who would love to gamble to stay online that way it gives them a good level of privacy to enjoy that which they are good at and except the allow you in to their privacy ,chances are you wouldn't know. For guys it's really comm around the world that a good number of us are gamblers so I don't see a big deal even if others try to make one out of it, just make sure you are making money and having fun and soon they will join you to celebrate.

What others think about your gambling habit shouldn't be much of a problem to you especially if you are maintain a responsible gambling habit and you know you are far from addiction, everyone mustn't like your process but they will definitely join I'm the celebration.

The way people feel about gambling is very different, and it could be because of their situations or their cultural background. It's important to remember that everyone has their own preferences and choices, and gambling doesn't always show what kind of person someone is.

many women gamble nowadays, especially now that gambling is very accessible because of online gambling applications, but you're right, it's hard to find women interested when it comes to investment and other financial stuff that you know. They can't just be seen because they don't let people know about their personal matters. That's it.

I don't know many women who like gambling, it's even hard to find women interested in investing and money on the places I go (I don't mind, just stating a fact)
maybe there's something to do with aversion to risk, not sure.

many interesting things and conversations to derive from this topic.

In the unique country society, people make less negative comments about gambling, but according to the rules of my country, there are many negative comments about gambling. Gambling is totally illegal in my country if people know about my gambling then I will become the worst person in the eyes of the society. Especially in my society there is no rule about women gambling, if women from my country indulge in gambling then people will blame her so much that it will become difficult for women to survive. Even though the country is developed, women from my country are very hesitant to participate in gambling because women are highly valued in my country and they have to be under control all the time.

What you are saying that is the absolutely hard truth of our society. In case of most societies all over the world most of the people have the nagetive thoughts about gambling. And if the things are about women then it has become more worser in the society. But now the era is changing peoples thought are also changing so I thing women are also do gamble where they want.

It is difficult for a woman to be open about her gambling habits because of the way society perceives gamblers. In the society I find myself, gamblers are seen as lowlifes, people without a job looking to make money from doing nothing. It’s even worse when it’s a woman gambling, people would assume she is wayward. This is problem because in most parts of Africa, a woman’s value is tied to her reputation and she must protect it still cost. I think women gamble online more than they go to physical casinos.

Truth is that we are all humans. No matter how we try to harden our minds and play deaf, these words and statements get to us. As a gambler, you’ll hear all form of condemnations, and as far as it’s something you do, you may have that bad feeling or guilt someday and it’s entirely okay because you’re meant to have emotions. It’s okay to ignore as much as you can but sometimes it hits hard, I believe. But on the other hand, I don’t think it’ll hit hard if you aren’t entirely invested in it. If you just gamble a little and you’re not so into it like you want to make crazy amount of money then you won’t likely feel these statements people make.

Exactly. There's no point in discussing how we spend our money or how often we gamble. I generally don't care what others say; I'm not that much of a frequent gambler either, nor have I suffered any significant losses that are becoming an issue in my daily life. I generally avoid discussing controversial subjects, such as cryptocurrencies or gambling, because people often have different or contradictory opinions. We don't owe anyone an explanation.

As long as we're able to control ourselves, how much money and time we spend, and be responsible in general, we're fine with ourselves.

I would do the same on which if we do speak about other random people then i just dont really care on the things that they would really be saying but if its part of the family or close ones then
it would really be just that normal that you would be having those kind of argumentation and explanation on the things that you are dealing with.Most of the time our loved ones wont really be able to notice it out specially if gambling is done through online but if we do speak about physical dealing with gambling then it would really be that pretty obvious and this is something
that cant be hidden. They wont really be giving some advises if you are that doing in moderation but if its already too much, they would really be noticing it.

Why should they get to judge about gambling, people do judge everything of course and if in work or somewhere restricted perhaps you should do not do personal activity like gambling.  However I would not worry at all, you could be gambling away your life savings or a bet placing the price of sandwiches for lunch its your choice.  Most of the time I would only laugh about anyone assuming they know my business at all.   Dont give them any ammunition, even if it was the biggest bet of your life stay humble and act like its nothing.   When you buy a desert island with your winnings you wont have to boast about it, presuming you did win that big of course

If it is random people, I also will ignore them. But if my close people give suggestion about my gambling activities, I will try to understand what they are trying to tell with me. Sometimes, there are things that we don't aware about my habits. If we are experiencing bad habits, it should be stopped soon. How if the people care with me? They may try to let me know about something wrong in my activities. If it is their main purpose, I personally won't ignore it but I will try to understand it and evaluate my habits. Not every one has bad purpose to say something, there are people who have good purpose.

We can't control that kind of people and they are everywhere across the globe.

On that part, just try to make sure to yourself that even if you are involved in gambling, you are not doing crazy things outside of gambling. Let your actions speak that you are not turning into a monster attitude and are still a responsible person even if they know and are aware that you are involved in gambling.

Rather than think of them, just mind our own. Used our precious time for something more worthy than thinking that kind of people.

What's best is to simply keep your gambling a secret if you know that society wouldn't respect you anymore if they learned that you gamble which shouldn't be the case. Gambling isn't bad in general, unless it contradicts a society's religious views and rulings, because you can enjoy gambling if you have a few spare bucks that you want to spend on yourself and your wellbeing. But still, you can't keep explaining this to every single person, so it's better if you just do not let them know about it.

I don't care about what people say about me gambling, however, people don't keep things to themselves in some societies and they take the discussion to your home or with your relatives and stuff, and then they will start pressurizing you that you stop gambling because people say it's a bad thing and our family is being disrespected because of it blah blah.

Do I care what folks say about my gambling habits? Truthfully, I'm not too concerned.  But I dont spread the word about what I do with my money.  I figure some things oughta stay between me and the bookie.  My dough, my choice and  nobody else got a reason to care.   

I get that some people think gambling is foolish.  But we all spend on what makes us happy, whether it's shoes, eating out, or laying bets.  Im careful with it - and as long as I'm smart and responsible, why should anyone else stick their nose in? The way I spend my salary aint nobody's business but mine.

You are so right mate,some persons feel it only when you engage in gambling that your life is useless,some persons would even stigmatize you and put you in a place where you are nothing,just because you are a gambler,but they won't know that something leads to another.Everybody knows what is wrong with him or her,if one has realised that gambling is something not good for him,I think it's good for that fellow to figure that out by himself,and try to improve in the situation.
At this stage of my life,I no longer get bothered about what human being tells me,or say about my life,the moment I see that I'm doing the right thing,then I don't give a ear to what they might say,or what they actually say about me.

Alright, I hear you on the opinion thing. Everyone's got their own two cents, right? Maybe it's not about silencing critics, but rather trying to understand where they're coming from. Ignoring them might sting, make them feel like they're yelling into the void.

Now, as for you saying you don't care what others think, well, actions speak louder than words, right? If you're constantly dodging these folks or getting all riled up just thinking about them, maybe there's a bit more there than meets the eye. Don't underestimate the power of those opinions, even if you think you're above it all.

And lastly, about the whole loved ones thing... even if you think you've got your gambling under control, it might still be weighing on them. They might be worried sick, feeling like they can't trust you because you're not opening up. Think about it, wouldn't a clean conversation clear the air and maybe even bring you closer?

I think people just conclude things according to what they see at the same time, on the other hand gambling has a bad point of view in the eyes of society and with that then I think it's natural that many people make some comments especially negative ones, it's all up to you and indeed if you are not offended at all then obviously the better alternative is to let them, but if it's the opposite, if indeed they comment with bad words that can certainly make you angry then obviously I think it doesn't matter if you are angry to maintain your honor even though you have a gambling habit.

True, everyone has their own life and whatever they do is up to them because as you said, we are the ones who control ourselves and our lives. They may scoff at you but what is certain is that you are not harming them at all, unless you are gambling with their money then that is another thing, so it is normal, do whatever you want to do as long as it is within reasonable limits and does not harm yourself or others.
