I think Many gamblers may feel ostracized or isolated due to the stigma attached to gambling addiction. Society often associates gambling addiction with negative characteristics such as greed, laziness, and immorality, which can lead to negative attitudes and discrimination towards those who struggle with gambling. Additionally, gambling is often a secretive behavior, which can cause individuals to feel isolated and alone in their struggles. Shame and embarrassment may prevent gamblers from seeking help or discussing their issues with friends and family, further reinforcing feelings of isolation.
