..why is it when housemates are being awful and horrid in the first few days, they're being honest and 'real' but if their emotions overwhelm them, they're being false or crying for attention..I would say that for most people, they couldn't 'put on' crying, it's not something that comes naturally I don't think...I would imagine the first few days/week or so are quite hard for them as well in terms of adjusting to the environment and being away from their families and friends...
