I'm confused and looking for answers
If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?
It depends on the kind of loneliness you are talking about because I don't think there is a connection between loneliness and gambling, although loneliness can result to other things but I don't think it could result to gambling on less you have interest on gambling, however one of the stuff that result or makes someone to start gambling is being jobless and at that moment you are vulnerable to anything that can easily Fitch money for you and perhaps gambling will be the only solution so that's one of the things that makes someone to join gambling easily.
This is valid, unless you also have that kind of interest with gambling, your loneliness will lead you to keep playing to forget about something,
but on the other hand, you are developing addiction.
Though there are many other things that you can be involve with, but if you are already have that desire to play it can bring you to keep playing from time to time, making you to resort your loneliness to gambling and add more danger to yourself.
Once addiction dominates you, it will surely harm the balance with your mental and financial capabilities.
Some persons always decide to gamble to prevent them to getting too lonely at times. We don't have to choose that part because we can always look for a better way we can deal with loneliness without even thinking of gambling. I have so many friends that are addicted to gaming and they would not mind playing games everyday just to keep loneliness aside. There are different things we can do for ourselves that would keep us business if we are less busy without going fully into gambling because we want to deal with loneliness. Gambling is not supposed to be everyday even though we don't have a job. There are times when we can choose to relax and catch some fresh air.
