This was really sad but important! I'm gonna try to keep my non-betting friendships! 💙 Don't want to end up isolated!

But some of us might change right? Like I'm gonna try to be more interesting! Have conversations about other stuff!

I am really glad I called my sister. 💙

Finally winning at something in this forum!!

You guys aren't boring! You're smart and analytical and... oh no am I only saying that because we're all bettors? Would I find you boring if I didn't bet?

This was unexpected. Came in thinking this was going to be kind of funny and relatable. Ended up doing a health audit I didn't know I needed.

This thread has genuinely scared me straight about something. Not even my own betting. But about how I talk about it in front of younger people. Like my sister looks up to me. And I've been accidentally making betting look glamorous and fun.

Search history! Final answer! Though now I'm wondering if I should tell future partners about my betting earlier than I have been lol

Not raised because I never research lol Starting to think that makes me accidentally smarter than everyone here?

Yeah this one got to me. I don't want to become someone where the calculation comes before the person. I'm going to try to remember that the next time I'm watching a game with money on it.

This was really helpful! I'm gonna start actually pausing before I click! Thanks everyone! 💙

I'm actually a bit shocked doing the mental inventory right now. Stomach tension every Sunday for months. Jaw clenching during games. Sleep worse when I have a bet overnight. None of these felt significant on their own. Together they're... more than I thought.

That's kind of beautiful actually Prof. That you and Margaret talked about it together.

I'm gonna try! Like this thread is scaring me! I'm gonna make an effort to talk about other stuff with my friends!

I think I still feel concern first? But I also think I haven't bet seriously enough for the financial rewiring to happen fully yet. This thread is making me want to keep it that way.
