usually it'll be better to keep most of things in life private instead of saying to much
having an aura of mistery is fun and good at the end of the day
chosing to open up with a small group of selected people will yield better results in life and avoid nosy people
I hope you know thy depression is real, many people has gave up the ghost because of been private. We need privacy as an individual but we need some people to speak to whether in our good times or bad times. Imagine having been depressed because you lost money and you don't have anyone to help you with some advice, you might end up making some decisions that will even worsen the situation, remember they said two headed combine is better than one.
The whole thread is clogged with money and hobby. One can gamble as hobby and fun but may not prioritize money just as the gambling is been for fun and entertainment and we also have people that gamble strictly for money, whether we like it or not that's there believe and there is nothing that can change that narrative about gambling.
