Nathan describes the first month<\/a> after leaving as overwhelming, especially when adjusting to online scrutiny. \u201cI got negative comments, even death threats, just for posting my opinions online.

Today, he posts daily on TikTok, sometimes two or three times a day, while also becoming actively involved in politics and causes he cares about. \u201cBig Brother opened doors I never imagined. It\u2019s been amazing,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">The mental challenges of life in the house were also significant. Nathan explains how living in a confined space with the same people every day changes your mindset. \u201cYou get attached faster than you\u2019d expect. I\u2019m not someone who cries easily, but seeing someone leave can hit you emotionally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">&#8220;You really do bond, even in just a few weeks.\u201d And while the house was physically and emotionally intense, he notes that the show\u2019s producers were meticulous in creating tension. \u201cThey know exactly how to push you to the edge without breaking you.

She didn\u2019t care what anyone thought, said it like it was, and wanted to have fun. We made each other\u2019s experiences so much better. For six weeks we just laughed constantly \u2014 we really took the piss out of everything and everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">Despite the highs, Nathan has learned to navigate life after the cameras. \u201cBig Brother doesn\u2019t owe you a good edit. They\u2019re making a TV show. You\u2019ve got to make your own story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">He\u2019s embraced single life and independence. \u201cI\u2019m happy as I am.

I\u2019ve learned a lot about myself, about other people, and about handling scrutiny. But I wouldn\u2019t change a thing.
