If I was emotionally connected to either Faye (dislike) or Aaron (like) - I'd be compassionate towards Aaron crying because I'd be willing to overlook that in him, and conversely, I would say that Faye needed to get a grip and not show compassion because I don't like her.

As it is: as far as Aaron crying so much: I have the same opinion as I do when Faye does it also. You see?

I do see what your saying but (there's always a but!) If I saw a friend of mine crying over something stupid or acting like an idiot I would pull them up on it, as I would anyone else who wasn't my friend but I would carry on liking my friend cos I have an emotional connection to them where as I might dislike another person because of it.

that's the whole point - Housemates aren't people we know in real life - hence no emotional connection.

I'm not saying they are, I'm just trying to show - using the example of real life friends- my take on the scenario you gave in your previous post

I'm still seeing it in an entirely different way from you. This is one that we are going to have to agree to disagree on.

We have very different perceptions on this one. It happens! :)

when I read what you say about emotions Pyramid I understand what you say but I see your actions representing something else, I'm not attacking you at all, just saying how I see it, what do you think about that??

I think it's about time you stopped playing coy, stopped trying to antagonise, and stopped trying to turn your threads into discussing me - and start sticking to the subject matter which is emotional connections to housemates. That's what I think.
