Either ESTP or ENTP. It’s the inferior Ni for the ESTP and the dominant Ne for the ENTP, combined with authority Ti and an unfulfilled life for both that creates the highest possibility for this addiction. Gambling addiction is a means of transferring suicidal ideation into a high stimulating medium. Anyone who loves gambling or is addicted to gambling has thought about killing themselves many times before. “Instead of thinking about dying, i’ll make the hours of the day go by as quickly as possible by doing something that has extreme financial risk, but not physical risk. Instead of causing harm to my physical self, i’ll destroy the part of my life that garners the quality of my life”. It’s a form of non-physical suicide. You feel nothing in life so you become addicted to this extremely stimulating, fun, and fast paced medium where if you win, you feel like you’ve achieved something in your life but if you lose you’re given an opportunity to relish in more negativity, creating a negative feedback loop that makes the addiction stronger. You never cared about winning or losing money in the first place, you just wanted to feel something that wasn’t nothing for once. Anyone who says they’re a gambling addict should be met with the same response as someone who says they’ve wanted to kill themselves for years or that they tried to kill themselves by driving off a highway. It’s the same psychology. If you’re addicted, please find help.
