So laziness do contribute to irresponsible gambling.
Or you think I am wrong? It's very hard to make money in the real world this days, too many people are jobless because of economy or lack of business slots available and this has a negative impact on people.
Many addicted gamblers I know are not ready to go the normal hard route to make money, they are isolated and finding ways to make the money easily then gambling became the only option to them.
I am saying all these people because i did helped two people on my tuff or so I thought, I found them web3 jobs online and since they love isolating themselves I should be easy, I waited patiently thinking that finally they will escape the tense of gambling and losing money and focus on having a life but they started complaining that they can't wait long to make money.
It's like they won't want to work and yet gambling isn't helping either, I guess this effect happened because they have tasted how it feel like to win some money through gambling so they shut every other doors.
You’re not wrong at all laziness does contribute to irresponsible gambling but i’d also add it’s not just laziness sometimes it’s a mix of impatience lack of discipline and the false hope gambling creates once someone tastes that quick win even if it’s small it rewires their mindset into believing money can come easy without the grind of real work that “shortcut mentality” takes over and then regular jobs or building skills feel too slow too boring too hard.What you experienced with the two people you tried to help is a perfect example even when opportunities are there they don’t want to wait they want instant results the same way gambling delivers quick wins and losses the danger is that the brain gets addicted to the thrill the rush of “maybe this next bet will hit” and that makes everything else feel dull and worthless.
It’s sad because gambling in that state isn’t just about money anymore it becomes an escape from reality and responsibility a kind of coping mechanism for joblessness stress or lack of direction but in the end it just deepens the hole because they keep losing and keep refusing to face the long road of steady progress. The truth is making money the right way will always be slower but it’s stable it builds discipline and confidence while gambling in that mindset drains everything away it’s not impossible for people like that to change but they first need to accept that easy money is an illusion without that shift in mentality even the best opportunities like the web3 jobs you gave them will be wasted.
