However, contrary to your belief, you need to acknowledge that stress can impact your feelings and decisions and could ultimately alter your instinct.
Yes, and for me it can be the trigger for gambling Addiction , and the Fact is that Things can be like that when a person can't Handle stress , in fact there are People who lose control and Become Addicted quickly, some believe they can handle stress and turn it into an Autoimmune disease , and others demonstrate stress with their own bodies through stress , so this is Something that we as Human Beings must overcome, or I recommend doing sports, running, lifting Weights , besides it is very Good for your health, but it is a way out.
I don`t think that instinct has something common with stress. When you`re stressed you make mistakes trying to win more or to return your loses. It is not about instinct but mostly about greed and mistakes.
But you`re right that it is near with gambling addiction and we have to pay attention to such signals.
