Many people find it difficult to accept who they are and the bad habits that they have, accepting a habit is the first step that will determine if any help offered to you will work. As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there. Do you think identifying as an addicted gambler will make people stereotype you. The answer is different for every gambler here.
If for me it will be addressed? of course I will not be only offended but also insulted because I know for myself that I am a disciplined and a fun looking gambler so calling me as an addict then you don't know what is the difference of the two.
and besides who are they to refer us such that?
what do they have in mind and life to address a person to be addicted when they are not contributing to my life?
but if this come from my Wife or at least my Parent and siblings? then I will ask them about how they think I am because sometimes we cannot find ourself to be addict but our love one can.
as gambling is tricky and indeed addicting.
Who won't get offended to be called as gambling addict? Not everyone want to hear that so I guess I will try to track back my activities if the claims of those people saying that is true. If I figure out that he is right on what he said to me well I might fix things up and correct all the wrong doings I do on my gambling activities, but if I know that I don't gamble that and occasionally I just participate because I'm bored well I might come to the person tell that to me and talk about things so that he also get a clarification on my activities done.
Yeah if you can re-assess yourself and if you really can tell or speak up with your gambling activities, it's better to confront the person who call you addicted, it's a way of clearing everything if you have that attitude or if you have that kind of personalities, no harm but more on clarification about that claim.
But if you don't have that kind of personalities, then let your action speak up with your activities, it's only noticeable if something already exceeds from the usual activities.

it is reasonable to confront those kind of people as they have no rights at all.
face their own life and family and care nothing about others.
