Topic: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? - page 6. (Read 1500 times)

Yes, you are right, no matter how bad a person is, they want others to respect them, even though they may be someone who is very detrimental to others, for example. But in what way do they make themselves appreciated by others, that's the question. The reason is maybe when he can make other people lose, then it's normal if they are not appreciated by other people. I think this is a different thing, not respecting does not mean we don't like the person, but we just don't respect his behavior, be it addiction or whatever it is. And usually it starts from our lack of trust in them.

I don't agree with that, even if someone is heavily addicted to gambling, they wouldn't want the world to disrespect them and they still expect to receive respect from everyone because whatever he is doing, whether it's good or bad, it's only for himself and his life and it isn't harming anyone else, they might not care much about things and money and stuff, but they would obviously feel offended if they are disrespected by anyone.

I personally believe that anyone in this world has some dignity no matter what they do or how they live or what their profession is or what their habits are. We should simply respect every individual and don't hurt them by calling them names or doing things that might hurt their emotions.

We all know that gambling addiction does nothing good. Especially if you don't know how to control yourself playing in every casino, because often gambling addicts don't care if they always lose.

Because often all they think about is winning a large amount of money and getting the big jackpot, they don't care if they have lost a large amount of money or their own family is affected, as if their thoughts are not normal anymore in reality.

Gambling is like a double-edged sword that can provide benefits, but it seems that many people say that gambling is bad because many people have experienced bad results. If they want to admit it, it is because of the mistakes of the people themselves. They cannot control themselves in gambling and see gambling as a place to make money. It's not like that, though. Gambling is designed to provide a different kind of fun where when they win, they will earn money but when they lose, they will lose money. And unfortunately, people are even more interested in playing gambling and spending a lot of money in the hope of winning.

Not many admit even when they're at the worse of gambling addiction. Agreed on the statement, it is a fixed that gambling is terrible. So, whether you gamble with limits or you're badly addicted, people who see from the outside have a common statement as gambler. When he earns good or losses, everything will be connected to the gambling habit. For this reason more people hide the gambling activity from the people around him.

As it should be or something that really needs to be done when someone on your loved ones is already making out such word about telling you that you are excessively doing gambling because most of the time
you wouldnt really be able to realize out things on your own unless if you are a type of person whose really been that aware on things then you would immediately stop on the time that you do notice that you
are already spending that much. There are people who are really that having that tolerance when it comes to potential addiction on which having that good control towards self is mostly recommended.

Most of the time with these addicted person would really be always be having that kind of denial when someone do tell them that they are already spending that much. Some might able to realize
it but some would really be just simply ignoring it just like there's nothing happened and as long they do enjoy on what they are doing then they would really be continuing it.

For me, nope, I admit but at least only in crypto gambling. Also, not to the extent that I will use my own pocket money and do unlikely stuff. I can say, although I am hooked it is still tolerable and I never cross my boundaries and will never put myself into an abyss. Furthermore, whether you are addicted or not, the opinions of others about gambling as a terrible habit will not change.

Exceeding the limit or not, you only need to see how much money you have risked so far and how many defeats you have gotten. If you keep putting in money non-stop and it keeps losing and yet you keep at it, it's pretty clear that you're becoming an addict. You may not be aware of it, but the people around you who pay attention to you are aware that your gambling activities are excessive. other people who care about you will pay attention to you and may give advice when you have crossed the line. when you are aware of the warning then you have to start correcting yourself.

People are different on which there would be those people who would really be that emotionally sensitive and there are ones who are open minded and there are ones who dont really care at all on what others been saying and as long they could be able to do things that they do like or want then that what matter the most. For me if someone do call me as an addicted gambler then i might really be having those common reactions but later on i would really be trying out to reassess whether im addicted or not.

You are the ones who could really truly tell if you are already that going beyond your limits when it comes to spending money on gambling because you wouldn't really be so dumb on not to make out some
comparison in between numbers. Will you find it to be offensive if there's someone who called you that way? If they havent seen anything then they wouldnt really tell something but if theres someone
who do call you then you should think that you are already that addicted. People doesnt really like on getting involved with other people but once they've seen something and having that concern
then better take it as a warning and something you shouldnt really be angry about.

Truly, people have stereotyped gambling adicts as unserious people who waste their time chasing after shadows. So to be taken serious in the society, nobody wants to be associated with that name. Although nowadays people like to identity themselves with successful individuals, it doesn't matter whether they're a gambling adicts or not, just because success is everybody's friend.

An addicted gambler should not find it offensive when they call him by what he is, which we means there are many things we do that aren't proper and we know but couldn't avoid them because we don't know to do without them even as they are things that hurt our lives, gamblers needed to be treated with humility and regards but they don't know how they have already lost this through their addictions because people sees us and learn from what we do if they are right and talk about them if they aren't good enough for appraisal either we like it or not.

Imposing, is an effort that is not good. however, if it is the final step that must be taken to cure someone of their addiction. this step can be taken, but with the permission and agreement of his family. but what is certain, the main problem is not in steps, or coercion, even if taking him to rehab.
But the most important point is that the gambler has strong intentions and determination so that he can recover from his excessive gambling habit. if, he does not have the desire or determination and strong intentions. wherever he is taken for treatment, usually the results are not as expected, even after he returns from rehabilitation. situation, can make someone offended and according to the title of this thread. because, forcing a course of action on someone was an act that shouldn't be done even in this case for one's own good.

Well, precisely so that there are no misunderstandings and so that the addict is not offended. Persuasive efforts are the first step that must be done first. approach from the closest side, it is far more effective and try to bring it to the expert after he has a deeper understanding of gambling. this effort is made, so that someone does not take excessive actions especially those that lead to the things you say.

Honestly,  it depends on who says it, how it's said or presented, and where its said!!

Sometimes someone might say this as a joke which can be ignored, sometimes people might pass such comments as a way to offend a person which is something most people will be  definitely offended by and will not take it lightly.

But in all this, someone  might say this in an effort to help you incase you are in denial about your gambling addiction and shouldn't always be taken as war but a gesture meant to help.

Everyone has their own character, there are addicts who like to get angry because they are called addicts and there are also those who think that saying is normal, after all why should we get angry if getting advice from other people means that someone cares about us if we as addicts should grateful that there are still people who care about us so we can control ourselves in gambling.

But sometimes there are people who are not right to advise you need a really good time and place, don't advise an addict when he comes home from gambling and loses a lot so he will get angry easily, that's why it's important for our awareness too if you want to advise addicts look for time and place the right thing to say.

Nobody, in my opinion, will likely enjoy being mistreated or readily admit wrongdoing.the reality that gambling is viewed negatively by most people because of the significant risk it entails and the limited value placed on luck.it has been seen time and time again that gamblers have a difficult time living a flawless life. So everyone therefore decides to be avoiding addressing as a gambler.

Since I consider gambling to be a very horrible habit and anyone who is hooked to it finds it difficult to live the life of their desires, I would be really angry if I were referred to as a gambling addict.

The first thing we must always realize about cases like this is that everyone's perception is different and also the purpose of people saying things like that is also because there are those who want to make us aware but there are also those who see us badly because we are addicted to gambling.
Whatever we do as long as we don't disturb and don't ask for money from that person to gamble, then whatever he is talking about doesn't need to be considered important and just let it go because over time he will tire himself.

Let's prove that gambling is actually not bad for those gamblers who can be responsible and only use gambling as a means of entertainment.

Only an addicted gambler will called an addicted gambler, let's not pretend not to know what an addicted gambler looks like, and it's a blessing if you are called an addicted gambler and it hit you hard, that's because you are still awake from the hypnosis of gambling.

If you are this person then you are in good shape still, now go back and sit and think about why people would call you that, maybe you are already losing your mind? Ask yourself these questions because you can really end up with an answer, before it's too late.

The fact is, road to gambling addict is a bit different from a gambling addict, someone who is already addicted to gambling won't feel a thing if anyone call them a gambling addict, they now have a goal and they are waiting to surprise those that called them that name (gambling addict), real gambling addict are always working towards the dream in their head.

well, like I said in a post earlier, so many addicts do not know they're addicts, the may never even know but they're best ways to make things known to people and they'd appreciate, if I'm an addict, it's not wise you call me that to my face, it makes it look like we have a problem and I may never regard you.

They're best approaches to matters, seek the right approach and watch the persons involved celebrate you.

We will reject it if someone says we have a gambling addiction and will not admit it. We might even stay away from people who say we are addicted to gambling because they will continue to bother us. They mean well to us and want to help us recover from gambling addiction. And it depends on us whether we want to recover or continue to have a gambling addiction.

Perhaps the addicted gambler will have such a hard time for himself that he must admit that he really has a gambling addiction and needs help recovering. That's when there are people who will help him, especially if he tells his condition to other people who really care about him.

If we can kindly approach those with a gambling addiction problem and point out that they really need help to get out of gambling, they will slowly accept it and admit that they have a gambling addiction. And if that's the case, this might ease the process of healing his gambling addiction because he wants to recover and change in a better direction.

If so, it will be difficult to help them get out of gambling, especially the problem of gambling addiction, because they always deny that they are already addicted to gambling. We also can't do anything about them but can still watch them from a distance so they know that we care about them.

If you are not an addicted gambler I think it is completely understandable that a person will be mad to be categorized in that way, and unfortunately due to the prejudices surrounding gambling there are many people out there that will consider that you are addicted to it even if it is just a hobby for you.

However even addicted gamblers will not like to hear this, as you will be in a way bringing to the surface a very difficult thing for them to accept, so it is natural they are going to be resentful about it as well.
