Out of the house, he is likely far more relaxed, of all the other housemates in the house,he is certainly not imagining that Dexter is at every opportunity now trying to belittle him or wind him up, he is totally right as to that.

He is bound to be a little paranoid in there and he likely has developed a lot of anger towards Dexter in the main and is smouldering but doing pretty well to keep it under wraps in the main.

If he is not able to feel able to really be himself then he will come across 'odd' at times but that doesn't mean all he is feeling is wrong or even what he is saying.

I like Dexter's tales but for the most part they are near all likely stories or lies,he though has perfected the art of doing that whereas Callum more than likely hasn't.

Maybe he is acting in part and he is a little more than uncomfortable with doing that but I still just think he gets misunderstood,that's all.

Callum is acting like bb8 Carol. Always bitching and moaning.

I can't take him seriously. He's like a panto villain.

He does look uncomfortable sometimes Joey,but he must feel quite confused as to what Dexter is saying about him all the time,I thought Dexter completely out of order mocking Callums cooking,but you can bet he ate it,I just don't like that furtive little grin Dexter poses whenever he THINKS he has said something to put Callum down,but it seems it may work against Dexter if he carries on.

The very same "furtive grin" that our mutual favourite Ben Duncan charmed you with Kaz?

Anyone that moans at my cooking when I have done it,(to be fair very few do), get their plate taken away from them and told to go and get their own.

Again,I have to say,Callum took that really well despite Dexter trying to wind him up again.

I really want Dexter to keep bullying Callum, anything that helps him get evicted before Callum is fine by me

I doubt any of the people diagnosing Callum as schizophrenic are.

The psychology/psychiatry industry is a form of pseudoscience anyway. Most of the time it's little more than guesswork.

TiBB armchair psychologists are as likely to be right as any of them!

I would like to see you dealing with a psychotic patient LOL. However Psychiatrists do know how and we have to be grateful for that even though most of their time is spent writing prescriptions and ignoring the person in front of them. Psychology and Psychotherapy is a completely different subject, far too time consuming and expensive to be anything other than frowned upon, in the main, by Psychiatrists who believe themselves to be Gods.

I don't believe Callum has any sort of mental illness at all.

He isn't even THAT bad he just seems to be the latest housemate to be on the receiving end of the OTT hate that some people are capable of throwing at them.

Really well said.
I would say as sure that I can be that Callum has no mental illness at all,all housemates at times act out of their usual character once in the BB house.

[Jords]

This is getting absolutely pathetic now.

[Tozzie]

I'm not overly struck on Callum but.........poor Callum getting labelled a Schizo

[Tulin]

As you Poms say, he is a mentalist!!!!!!!!!

believing in special powers, such as telepathy or the ability to influence other people’s emotions and actions

having unusual ways of speaking, such as long, rambling vague sentences or going off on a tangent

experiencing excessive anxiety in social situations, even if they have known a particular person or group of people a long time

Totally expected post after the 'BUT' on the end of it

nothing wrong with the above, fairly nice guy

Long as he stays in after Dexter, I dont mind

[Vicky.]

I think hes probably a pretty normal chap on the outside. He was for the first few weeks in there.

I just think the house is messing with his head and turning him extremely paranoid and OTT obsessive
