Most of my friends with anxiety are gamblers and enjoy taking risks.
Gambling under stress and anxiety often causes you to lose money.
When an anxious person becomes a gambling addict, they become even more anxious.
We need to control our emotions..
People dealing with anxiety turn to gambling as a way to become less anxious...Gambling shouldn't be used a coping mechanism to avoid depression, emotional trauma or anxiety...like you said, an anxious person has a high chance of becoming addicted to gambling...Gambling only makes anxiety worse and this is dangerous because of the risks that comes with it, this is capable of becoming am issue to a persons health
Anxiety is not the main factor that influences the presence of gambling addiction. Usually, if a person is anxious, they will find a reason or outlet for their anxiety. The same applies to other traits such as impulsiveness or laziness. I don’t think that having anxiety is any kind of clear indicator. What matters more are a person’s outlook on life and their interests.
