I would love to know your opinion over this question above as it's painful to see that what you do or what gives you joy at times people often term it as something bad or possibly as an irresponsible people.
If it was you, what would you do knowing too well that people who gambles are often seen as useless people and irresponsible people due to what some fellas has presented themselves into while gambling without at least showing any sign of responsibleness. Also, What do you think can be done to see gamblers as a responsible people in our society?
My answer is No.
That's the reason I don't gamble publicly, I gamble online so that nobody knows, not even my own family.
I know myself and how to limit it, those with hypocritical minds think that gambling is irresponsible, but they lack understanding of it.
If I were a gambler facing this unfair label, I’d probably do two things.
First, I would silently ignore the haters because, honestly, you can’t stop people from sticking their noses where they don’t belong.
But second, and more importantly, I’d put my money where my mouth is by practicing clear, responsible gambling habits that prove they totally wrong.
As we know already people are usually like that and whenever they don't know anything about what their fellows are doing they turns into criticism because they had little or no knowledge about what others are doing. And of course silent is the best answers to the fools who don't usually love others in what they are doing, although as you said it is also important to gamble online where privacy would be as you desires it than showcasing oneself to the public about how they are seriously involved themselves with gambling.
On the moment that you do play gambling then you wont be caring about on what other people been that saying around as long you do play then its none others business on what they would be saying into you. Its been long time that gambling been seen up to be negative just because people will be focusing into the negative or into those people who had messed up themselves when it comes to financial aspects on which the community will definitely be that seeing negative towards gambling and people will be seeing out that gambling is an activity on which its been that dealing up with those people that messed up their lives. It will be that just normal and there's nothing we can be able to changed up on how people do think If those gamblers do play no matter what then there's nothing we can do because its their money and its their full rights on whatever the things that they would be doing. Planning to changed up that kind of mentality or impression towards gambler? There's no way on doing that.
For people who do say about bad about gambling then there's nothing we can do about it and thats how it is and there's nothing we can do. So its better that you shouldnt be that making yourself that being that too sensitive on what the community on what would be saying into it. They will be that not minding too much and just that play according into their wants or according into their interest.
There are those who do able to sustain and wont be able to control themselves on which they do play but still not be able to get addicted.
