Have you ever felt that you didn't play just because you were shy? I have felt this in casinos, and I just felt the pressure, but there's no need to be because everyone just minds their own business in gambling. Probably some people even pushed you to start gambling. I just thought about this because when I tried gambling for the first time in casinos, I don't know if it's okay to sit in tables whether the game is blackjack, poker, anything in the casino just so that I just felt shy because I'm a newbie.

Have you felt this way? I don't know if playing online casinos would have that effect also. What do you think?

Actually if you are a first timer I am pretty sure that they will feel it too. It is normal to be that way because you haven't tried it yet that's why you feel shy. Aside from that, a lot if you enter a gambling world or a casino, they will really push you to play. Along the way, all the shyness you were feeling will be gone soon because you are enjoying the game. But as I always say to my friends who enters a gambling, always remember their limitations because gambling is a very risky game.

I'd love to catch a shy fish at a table, in poker this is pretty much a guaranteed felt scenario. The simple facts are, if you're shy don't play face-to-face games as you will get completely dominated. Your shyness will likely make you the weakest hand at the table, and will get you in situations you don't want to be in.
For experienced poker players its really easy to find out if your opponent is holding a good card or not if he starts to feel shy / scared. I'm not good at it but when I'm on the situation the feeling is intense so I prefer playing online poker instead of f2f poker. But if its for fun I'll play with my friends or relatives, I'd love to have fun with F2F games with them.

I've experienced things like that, when we lose constantly, emotions are unstable and the money runs out, what happens is I get angry in public and be seen by everyone.
Then gambling is not for you buddy because you might get into  fight for being mad just because you lose in gambling. Or learn how to control your emotions and accept the fact that losing is part of the game.
I agree with aishyoo17 that you cannot gamble anymore just because of your emotional outbursts and especially not going to be good if it's aligned in public. It's definitely saddening to see people acting out like that but I'm not saying that I haven't experienced that.

I think we don't have to feel shy when we are playing gambling and we can play gambling online in our room so no other people will know what we did.
No need to feel shy if you are gambling in the proper way, your money is at stake and not the money of others. The only thing that affect us as gamblers is there are beliefs that when they here the word gambling, they are thinking negative already.

and this is what I do when I want to play gambling, I open the site in my room and playing the games and when somebody coming to my room, I can close the tab of the game and pretend I don't do anything except browsing only Grin
This is the convenient that we can get in gambling online now, we can peacefully gamble at our own comfort zone.

I think I can hide my activity in gambling games and so far, I can play gambling without anyone know.
It's anonymous so its favorable to us.

That means you are afraid if your activity is known by others. Which means you will feel ashamed too if your secret is revealed. It applies to me as well. Gambling in my place has already got a bad name. So caught doing it will give a social effect which is very bad.

no, I am not afraid if my activity knows by others, but like you said, in my place, gambling gets a bad name too and I don't want my family member know if I am gambling. so far, I am playing without they know and even if finally they know, I will tell that I gamble is only for fun and not for the money and I don't use real money to gamble Grin

If the reason for you not gambling is because of your shyness, then might as well not gamble at all. Consider that as your blessing-in-disguise as once you have the guts of gambling, then you might continuously gamble on a daily-basis. On the other hand, like what he mentioned, if in your community gambling has created a stigma towards the people then might as well avoid it.

I think it depends on our purposes to play gambling and for me, I do not feel shyness or afraid if the others know I am playing gambling. I give some example by myself because playing gambling in my city is forbidden and thank you for VPN that could help me and the others so we can play gambling.

Actually people feels shyness due to fear. Fear somehow works and makes you feel shy. I don't know why people feels shy, I felt frightening as at first it wasn't legal in our country and local people taught me its bad. Like whenever someone plays card games, people assumes they are gambling, even if not. I felt frightening, but after the first game or may be second I felt free and played casually.
I agree with this a lot because that's what I experience especially if I meet someone who is really high above me or have a crush on. For me it's not a good thing to be shy but that's just natural I could learn how to communicate better if you practice.

feeling shy is natural and normal if we are meet someone for the first time and maybe needs time before we can communicate with the others. I have this experience in my past but now, I don't feel that I am shy to meet a new people.

Have you felt this way? I don't know if playing online casinos would have that effect also. What do you think?
I think of course it will be different with gambling online/casinos sites, anyhow., between one people and the other people doesn't meet face-to-face directly, which sometimes indeed., it does have a certain effect when playing. Well it's different with gamble in the cyberspace of course, I think we feel more confident or as braver without shame or anything that interferes to betting because anyhow all the players/users are in their place and can't paying attention directly when we betting.

Never felt that feeling that I'm shy so I didn't play at all. There's one situation that I don't play because I don't have something to gamble. The shyness of being a loser is what I'm even thinking and I don't let others to push myself to gamble. I don't want others to know that I lost and how much I've gone in gambling that is the situation that I'm trying to avoid.

People who gamble might only would shy if they found somebody else of their relatives or friends seen them in the casino and they get caught. As may be world would know that he does not gamble but being caught is an awkward position and it is a bad feeling as well. 
Possible that this case will happen, you would felt some shyness if someone who near to you would see you playing inside the casino when they are not aware that you are doing some gambling, I guess there's a lots of different feelings when things is happening not according to our plans, it can add some
worries and not being focused when you are in this situations, though it can also be overcome when you are already enjoying or you are already so aggressive playing gambling.
We can feel shy if we are very new in bitcoin, or bitcoin is very new in our area, where people do not have any knowledge about bitcoin, so its become difficult to explain to them about bitcoin where they will never believe on it. But i think in such places, where bitcoin is too much popular there we do not need to feel shy, but we will surely too much confident using bitcoin for shopping or for investment purpose.

Being shy or nervous sometimes occurs because you are still inexperienced and new. Of course you don't have to sit right away in a table you feel full of sharks and whales. The first thing to do is actually observe and participate when you feel comfortable.

All of us have to start somewhere and being shy is completely normal. You are still on the beginning stage wherein you adapt to the environment and observe other gamblers in order to get complacent. Though I disagree with gambling, if you feel like luck is on your side then try your chances. Just remember to have self-control and discipline to prevent any BIG losses ocurring overnight.

I agree, when I was just starting my gambling journey in a landbase casino, I'm just a standing bettor, will just observe how those sitting gamblers are doing and I will just go with the flow. There was one instance though that I was a unaware about winning a bet in baccarat because its a super 6, meaning the pay is just half, but I didn't understand so I asked the dealer and I was so embarrassed because they are all looking at me.

But now I have totally overcome my shyness and even sitting at the table whenever I want. But yeah, at first you will be shy and embarrass but when you gain experience, I'm sure that you will be very comfortable and rubbing elbows with everyone in the table.

I have felt that one time but its on a different environment. In our country, when we visit a wake, a lot of people are gambling just to past time. It just so happen that I don't know who I am playing with so I started to play low profile. I am not raising that much and just playing a mediocre game because I am shy. 2 hours past and I lost 70% of my money so I was forced to play bullyball. I kept on raising until I was able to recover and win a few bucks before we head home.
