To escape boredom? Sure. With the clear mind that you are just 'paying' house edge for this.
However, if you do gamble for ant others of the mentioned reasons /worry, trouble,loneliness, grief or lose/ I think this is problematic gambling.

I did not gamble just for those things. I gamble because I want it and its a way to have the fastest profit and thats the reality. I cant even escape those things because when I'm lonely I'll just get into my room and will be there for how many hours. The samw with other feelings.

Usually I only gamble when I go out with friends.
The times I do it at home it is definately out of boredom.

I mostly remain surrounded with my family and relatives so I am not quite lonely but I used to be alone whole day when I was staying in a rented apartment for study few months back. I have gambled so much at those time because of boredom and one night I gambled whole night and also lost so much...
I am not gambling with real money these days, just playing with some free money like fake balance and play money to kill time.

I gamble most of the time when I am alone.
I only do it because I am bored. Not really because I want to escape worry, trouble, loneliness, grief or loss, those feelings can never be filled by gambling no matter what. If it does solve the problem, it is just something temporary. It is never a healthy way to avoid problems. The best solution to a problem is solve the problem.

Nope. The last thing I want to do whenever I feel a need to escape worry, trouble, loneliness, grief or loss is gamble. I only gamble when I'm feeling good vibes and no worries. And boredom is what boring, lazy people feel.
I can't imaging what it would feel like if you were feeling bad, sad, troubled, etc and you gambled and then lost. That would prolly make you feel ten times worse.

The best gamblers try to minimise or even withdraw all emotion during the time they are gambling. Emotions can largely affect your abilities to gamble to the best of your ability.
I only gamble for fun so it's not overly important how I feel but if you're gambling using big money you want your head to be straight.

No, because there are other things that I can do to escape my problems like watching vlogs,movies, playing games and many more. Gambling would just cause you more problems once you start losing your bets it'll just become worse because and that could be the start of your addiction to gambling. Not a good idea if you want to escape from reality.

No such thing occurs in my part, even if I feel troubled, bored, loneliness or discomfort towards something I just play a game or go out with friends bonding with my relatives because that is the way of life you just need to handle it and pray to GOD, and not resulting to just gambling to just be your cover for all of your problems because worst case scenario it can become even worst, but I have known someone who resulted in playing gambling games when he feels that way and ended up addicted to it.

I never gamble to escape worry, trouble,boredom,loneliness, grief or lose, mainly because I know gambling is inherently stupid and you are going to lose, but I like the thrill of gambling in special occasions when I take a trip to Las Vegas with friends or something. So actually I gamble less than 10 days per year.
If I was rich I would like to attend the big boxing fights in MGM grand and I would for sure play around in the casino while im at it, but im not rich so im stuck watching pirated streams.
We do have the same hopes If I was rich I would like to attend the big boxing fights in MGM grand and I would for sure play around in the casino while im at it, but im not rich so im stuck watching pirated streams.
How i wish that i would be rich like that in able to do those things i do really like to experience but well back to the topic I do play gambling when my mood is good and if i do have vacant times.I dont really play on those times when im in trouble or boredom,grief/loss because most of the time i will not able to enjoy my game because i cant think off properly for sure.
