Topic: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? - page 35. (Read 4700 times)

I don't agree. Yes, it's your money and you can burn it or throw it away or wipe your ass with it if you want because it's yours, but there must be better ways to spend it. If you are stubborn, you think highly of yourself, you want to be left alone all the time, etc, you don't need other people's advice and suggestion. But you must think that your friends, family, relatives, loved ones could just be concerned of yourself. They could just be thinking about you. Some are saying this is my life, I can do anything with it. I don't agree with this kind of argument.

If you are that someone who do really love on listening other peoples opinion and comments then you are really that putting up yourself on such stress and anxiety on things which arent supposed for you to mind on. Just like on what others been saying that as long you arent asking money from others and you arent compromising something then i dont see  the reason for you to have that kind of doubt
and worry on the time that you do play. We do have all the full rights on the things that we should do. It is really just that there are people who are really that loving to hear out other peoples sayings and on the time that it isnt really that pleasing then they would really be that having that kind of stress. So its better not to mind off about into those words just play like normal.
They dont have the rights since its your money that had been used.

There is no harm in listening to other people's advice if it can give you an idea that what you are betting on can lead you to gambling that will ruin everything. But usually gamblers will not care and continue betting, I will not be offended due to the fact that some uncontrolled gamblers become useless. He had told you the truth, you should know but sometimes his words seemed meant to judge you. So you feel uncomfortable and reject every word he says.

Therefore, you must know the situations and conditions when gambling. Not everyone is aware of the habits of the people around them, especially since gambling is considered a bad activity. because this is a public place, everyone is different in judging other people. So just accept what is said, but you yourself don't need to think twice when opening gambling in public places. It is better to avoid it because after all gambling is better done without being seen by other people. You just need to pay attention to your surroundings

Not really. I don't care what they say. Let them talk about what they want to talk about because it's not going to affect you or your lifestyle. If you want, you can talk back and tell him that those who gossip are also useless. I bet that will trigger him too.
Society is different now in my opinion. People don't really care about what others do and they are more concerned about how they will fix their own lives. I mean, that's what I noticed with most of my friends and neighbors. Gambling is just a sport now, it's everywhere. Social media bloggers are advertising it now, articles are filled with gambling advertisements, and even popular sports are also letting gambling platforms be advertised while the game is running. If there are people who will say they are "useless" then perhaps they should look at how much tax is being received by a government through gambling.
Don't be triggered by it, it's not worth discussing it with people who cannot open their minds to how entertainment is being provided in this era. And if you know to yourself that you are a responsible gambler then I don't think you should worry about that.

It's probably better to listen to other people. It's up to you to take their feedbacks, comments, and opinions seriously or to toss them to the garbage bin. But at least you're taking them. Some of these comments might be constructive and actually do you some good. Some of them are probably just ignorant opinions. You can screen them.

This is what I do. Let all the comments come. I am the authority at the end of the day. I can live my life the way I wanted whether it is agreeable to others or not. I know what I'm doing. And if I gamble, I am doing it moderately.

I just ignore them if I don't own them money they have no business questioning my gambling activity, we are better off gamblers not to let anyone knows about our gambling habits to avoid criticism and backstabbing and to answers useless questions from ignorant people, because not everyone will believe that we are just having fun there are some people who had a bad opinion about people who gamble, and its not our obligation to explain to this people so they will change their way of thinking.

There countries where gambling is well accepted and there are countries where gambling is taboo, but you can always find people who have a bad opinion on gambling even if its legal to gamble, so to avoid stress just ignore them.

Why do I care? First i care nothing about them , second i am not asking for anything from them specially money to gamble, Third even how much i lose in gambling there are no one tht i disturbing so why should I care for the first place?

True, we should not be ashamed of our gambling as long as we are not affecting other people around us. I personally am not ashamed if my friends or someone I know will find out that I do gambling, but as much as I can, I'm not flexing or flagging to anyone that I know that I do gambling.

But if someone knows that I do gambling and has a violent reaction to what I do, I will listen, of course, but I will not take it to heart because I don't want to offend someone who doesn't know what I'm doing, and as long as I don't involve other people, then I'm good. In short, I will ignore them. Maybe they will give advice, but it's up to me if I will take it because I know myself and I know my limit. Even if they think that I'm addicted to gambling, I don't care because I know more about myself.

I think gambling is a thing of choice,  what we want in life,the path to follow,the friends to follow,and the things we do, therefore,gambling is also a choice that one. Choses.This is why most atimes when people tend to talk about gamblers and how they behave,I try to correct them, because human race is built on what we chose to do,where we chose to go,and how we chose to go about a particular thing.It is good because gamblers who knows themselves,and why they have chosen to take the path of Gambling.So as far as I'm concerned,human being must talk,but it their talk has nothing to do about it.

I disagree with your first words. The choices you made are what define you. What defines you others than that!? Because choices are the result of your knowledge, feeling and spirit. and that is what you are. But I dont say choosing gambling is bad, but that defines that you love the thrill of an entertainment which shakes your adrenaline.

The choice to engage in gambling is indeed a personal decision. People have the autonomy to make decisions about their own recreational activities. Being mindful of who you share your gambling activities with is a valid approach. Choosing to discuss it with understanding people and in appropriate settings allows for more positive and open conversations. By being mindful of the level of gambling and avoiding addiction, individuals can maintain control over their recreational choices. Responsible gambling is crucial to ensuring that it remains a form of entertainment rather than a detrimental habit.

This is the excuse that all addicts use when we try to help them in the various stages they go through during their addiction journey. We call an addict a rational person responsible for his actions.

Your experience may be good compared to many others, so you may not notice the real impact of creating such excuses.
Or, in many cases, we should not judge a matter from the point of view of personal experience only. This may make very limited conclusions.

Some gamblers tend to be emotional and get easily affected with what other people will say, while some tend to ignore about the negative comments about their gambling activities, since it’s their money after all that they are spending. And for me, I think I belong to those people who never care about the impression of other people.

 I gamble for my own pleasure and satisfaction, probably to make additional profits as well. But if those people around me will criticize me negatively, well that’s also their right and I’ve no in control with that. But as long as I’m not asking money from other people to gamble, then I have also my right to enjoy my life with the personal money that I have. As long as I don’t resort into making crime just to satisfy my gambling urge, then I don’t owe them explaining my side.

People's perception differs from what platform you're using to gamble if you're betting in a lottery people will think it's usual because the majority of people here in our country are also trying their luck in a lottery, but if you're playing in a casino whether online or offline, people will think that you are a true gambler and possibly addicted to gambling, in my case very few people I know, know I'm playing in online casinos and race track betting station and their opinion don't bother me at all as long as I believe that I'm gambling responsibly.
I don't even have to explain to them why I gamble, I'm comfortable with what I'm doing, and it's my money anyway.

All you need to do is just ignore it, after all those who say you gamble this and that, you're an addict and other negative things.
It's just a phrase from people who don't understand what a person is really doing.

Instead of having to think about what other people say that won't provide any benefit, it's better to focus on your game.
And there comes a time when you should also listen to what others have to say about gambling advice when you feel too attached and there are indications of addiction, because that won't be good either.

A good environment will inform you about what to do and what not to do.
this is to control what you are playing.
Any work or game that is too excessive, it will not be good.

I believe I would indeed care a bit about what people would think about me engaging in gambling, even though I do not wager much money, this is a country which has been through much in the lastest years, and there are many families which go through economical problems, in that sense, it would be easy for someone to judge me for what I do and I may feel a bit bad for it.
It is rather a personal thing of mine, it is not completely limited to gambling but also to other activities and hobbies I have partaken in through the years, I like to draw when I have time to, but I rarely display my creations because if the same feeling that makes difficult for me to disclose my gambling habits.

In the ideal case, no one is supposed to be ashamed or guilty of being a gambler, as long as one is being responsibly with one's money and taking care of one's responsabilites. In the end, there are people who do things are considered to be legal but more frown upon, and her do not seem to care what other think of them. It is a good quality to some extent.

I don't care, I don't care what others say because I'm not addicted to gambling. There are many people who judge others. People who judge others will never disappear from the world, they are scattered from side to side.

But if that person will help you or give you advice because he sees that you are struggling, why not. he's just being kind so you don't run out of money and you don't end up addicted to gambling. But if your gambling is okay and there's no problem with what you're doing, that's a different story.

If you're asking that then maybe my answer is pretty much the same as some of the other people here in that I don't really care what they say, plus lately I've been spending more of my accountable money to engage in this type of online gambling like slots for one, weekends are the perfect time for me to risk a little of my money, to be honest I very rarely gamble outside or in public places even though I basically gamble using a cell phone (to reduce the suspicion of others) and I mostly gamble at home in the middle of the night by enjoying a cup of coffee on the balcony of the house when all family members are asleep. So while I don't really care what other people have to say about my gambling activities, the gambling I do is always private so it reduces the potential for other people to find out what I'm doing on my cell phone.

Gambling has been widespread and most of us are aware of the situation, and seeing someone on the phone doing this is not unusual.
They don't need advice anymore, they are old enough to know what is right and what is wrong. I'd rather advise any of my family members who are involved in gambling than give it to strangers. Besides, some people do online gambling as their pastime, so it is not a big deal as they are enjoying their time at least not doing this during office hours. But if I saw children doing this, that certainly would catch my attention.

I normally ignore.

Before now I have taken a decision to do things that brings me joy not minding who is in support or against. So far as it is not causing harm to me neither to anyone close to me then I don't fucking care about what others opinion maybe.  People engage in worst things and if mine is just gambling then I see no crime am commiting that should warrant anyone dismissing me as someone straying away from being responsible.

A lot of people that don't gamble are so quick to spell out examples and cases of irresponsible gamblers that had their life gone bad due to their compulsive and irresponsible gambling attitude. Whereas there are also many people that have made a good life out from gambling by virtue of a big win they made but those that don't like gambling won't tell you this, it's only the  negative they will be speaking loud

If anyone choose to gamble irresponsibly and get burnt at the end is it the fault of gambling or the fault of he who decided not to follow the rules by playing responsibly?

Normally people shouldn't live and do things in fear of what other people will think, but people also need to be able to know which people give good criticism, criticism that serves to make the person being criticized change their behavior, for example there are There are many families where the father and the mother every day forbid their children from drinking beer because it will destroy their children's lives, but some child doesn't listen and thinks that the parents are wrong and for that reason that child continues drinking beer and every day time when his parents tell him to stop drinking beer, but he becomes a very aggressive person and starts being violent towards his parents, and alcohol leads this son to become addicted.

see that in this case the parents were right in forbidding him from drinking beer, but there are cases where the advice from parents and friends and other relatives is bad advice, so what should people do when they hear a relative and friend telling them to stop drinking beer? play because the game will destroy his life, so this person needs to stop playing for some time and think: why are people talking about him stopping playing, how much time does he spend playing, how much money and time has he already wasted playing and what was it like? his life before getting involved with games and how his life with games is, when he makes these comparisons, they need to look in terms of how many achievements he managed to achieve before getting to know the games and after getting to know the games. When he does this he will be able to better see who is right and who is wrong
