That's true, everyone could have their own personal reasons why they are gambling, some are doing this for fun, maybe just to whine away time, bordomness or loneliness as the case maybe, while we still have some people gambling for the sake of earning money from it for their survival, we have to also know the category of which we belong here, why we have chosen such and how we are best satisfied in making a conclusion on that category kind of gambler.
People who play gambling all have their own goals and of course their goals will be different. I myself play gambling in all the categories you mentioned, for fun, yes, when I'm lonely, yes, and of course I ultimately want to win the game so I can get money. I think everyone gambles because of that, the only difference is those who can't control themselves so they become addicted. This is wrong and should be avoided as far as possible.
Addiction can occur from thought patterns and habits, so when playing gambling we must be able to manage time and must separate the money that needs to be spent on gambling so that even when we lose we don't feel too disappointed which makes us want to play again in the hope of taking back the money we lost. .
When someone to be lonely he will fell very much comfortable with gambling. I personally prefer a secluded place when gambling because gambling in those places gives me the opportunity to gamble as I wish. And since gambling can be done according to my wish in that state, there is a high chance of becoming addicted. If I comment from my point of view then of course being alone increases the chances of gambling addiction but not all cases are the same. Many people can gamble in any situation keeping them under control and those who are addicted even if they gamble in the crowd they become addicted there. It totally depends on yourself. To control this addiction one must avoid excessive gambling and the desire to get more money from gambling.
