Impression leads to depression. Young people now run to build social media impressions, then end up hurting themselves and getting depressed. Looking around each social media space, and reading from their responses, you'd notice that there is a high rate of depressed people in the society. And this has gotten to the likes of naive gamblers who don't respect the act of gambling. They think it's a way of proving a point to society or luring more people to try gambling as they're winning big. If a person is not comfortable gambling anymore, he shouldn't try to suit his ego by claiming to other people he's a big winner and has higher predicting skills. Gamblers who participate in this type of mistake or say trends learn it on social media. It has been all over the media like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, most posts on winning big in gambling are mostly framed by the user to impress the viewers on his timeline. Hence when they ask him for some proof like sending some giveaway they'll do that using their extra funds. Thereby losing money both ways, one in gambling, another in chasing impression.
What do they gain for doing this, if the person isn't into any affiliate program, for what profit is he suffering himself? Weird things are beginning to happen each day and we must stay careful not to get this depressed to the extent of following the hearsay of people around us in the society. Most people whom we try to impress every day wouldn't appreciate our efforts. As a gambler, I've not noticed a gambler who do this, although no proof of tracing this, but I can say for sure that, the slip matters more than the money. This thread opened a different perspective in me, and it's not a lie, there are some possibilities of such things happening. Yet, I'd categorize these people as a set of new gamblers. Experienced gamblers don't have any reason for this, I was complaining to a friend the other day, that gamblers only let us know when they lose a game, and hide once there is a win. Now I'm shocked to notice the reverse in the life of some people, not just the reverse, but a selfish reverse, lying over loss and claiming to people that they won instead.
Another valid point stated...trying to prove a point.
I mean, its nobody's concern whether or not you had a bet go your way. Who's validation is required for living life and who defines the standard of what society should or should not want. Too much of youths trying to prove a point has landed youths in an untold pressure and when not able to meet up with the demands that goes with the acclaimed, depression sets in
Live your life at your means and do what you have to do without the need of a third party's validation, that way you stay out of unwanted embarrassing situations
It can only get worse each day because the online validation lifestyle is becoming a pandemic in society. Recently, the online space is not spacious enough anymore, and they now want to be seen offline. The problem also began with the occupants of our society or environment. They only want fake love and don't care about people who don't live the fake lifestyle; claiming to be rich. Normalizing with lies and shutting up the truth, will only take society to a very tough time. Some youths when faced with the pressure, will hide and continue to lie that all is right financially. Depression then creeps in, and drug or gambling addiction follows. Most of the addicts in the gambling niche weren't part of addiction, due to gambling alone. Other characteristics or behaviors of the person contributed to setting them off guard, and they weren't able to control their urge for gambling.
Faking our results in gambling is among the funniest forms of silly lifestyle I've read in a while. Those validations, as you said, don't matter, but to them, it's very important to appear relevant in the eyes of the people. Fake it until you make it syndrome. Yet they don't seem to understand the slogan. It has nothing to do with faking wealth or gambling wins. It's all about staying true to the hustle even when the quality we seek isn't there. For instance, providing a service in a building that doesn't look fine, until the wealth begins to creep in the person can then relocate to a better place. A person can fake to be competent in a field, until they get competent in that field. But the wrong perspective circulating the society is that they can fake being rich or successful gamblers and then get successful in gambling. This time that slogan doesn't work. Because the person is only suffering his emotions, trying to impress people who care less about his well-being.
