I agreed with that and Aside from trying not to use so much funds to gamble just to prove that you are a responsible gambler, there are ways and mechanism a gambler can put in place that helps him to automatically operate a d gamble with the ambits of a responsible gambler, that covers more than not just using Money carelessly being the determinant factor to say a person is an irresponsible gambler.

Agreed, we don't have to prove to any one that we're responsible gamblers, it'll show in the way we gamble and being responsible benefits is more hence we have all reasons to be that way. When we budget, our expenses shouldn't exceed a small percentage of our income, we can't chase losses or get triggered because we lost some money, our decision making should be that of someone that's not relying on the game that they're playing but like someone that's enjoying themselves because that's what we should be doing when gambling. Responsible gamblers are those that stay in profits more because they're in control and that should be what we're known for as gamblers.

We don't need to prove anything as long as it doesn't harm others, so we will just walk our own path according to what we want.

Indeed, for now, validation seems to be one aspect that is always seen by everyone because of its stigma, so it seems that many people only expect validation from others in order to live their lives according to certain criteria.
However, in the end, this only makes us feel like we’re living in someone else’s shadow, especially when we’re just trying to show others that we’re responsible and want to be seen in a certain light—it all feels pointless.

What’s most important is that we must be able to control ourselves regardless of others’ opinions. Why should we care? Because in the end, we can’t force others’ views onto ourselves.
