At 31, singer talks about anger, emotional tiredness and frustrations with paparazzi: ‘I know I’m broken’
Justin Bieber It has been sharing on social networks what seems to be an intense period of self -reflection. For over three months, the singer has published posts in Instagram revealing anguish related to fame, internal conflicts and difficulties in their relationships. In the latest of them, he responded to those who say he needs to “heal”:
“Do you really think that if I could fix myself, I wouldn’t have done that? I know I’m broken. I know I have anger problems,” he wrote Bieber.
He continued:
I spent my life trying to do what they told me it was necessary to ‘fix me’, trying to be like these people. And that just makes me more tired and more annoyed. The more I try to evolve, the more centered on myself I get. Jesus is the only person who makes me want to live thinking about others. Because, honestly, I am exhausted to think only of myself. And you, aren’t you?
In the last days, Bieber He got involved in several tense episodes with paparazzi. Videos viralized by showing the artist surrounded by photographers as he asked for respect for his privacy, begging to be seen as a human being. In one of the most recent records, he states: “I’m not afraid to impose boundaries. I don’t know you. We don’t get to those who don’t know anything with a camera in the face. It doesn’t matter if I’m a celebrity or not, a public figure or not.”
These interactions happen while Bieber It continues to expose on social networks the challenges he faces in his personal relationships and the internal battles caused by fame. In a recent post on Instagramthe singer shared screen catches from a conversation with an unidentified person who wrote: “I’m not used to someone discounting anger at me. It’s not that I don’t see and feel your anger.”
Bieber He responded directly, stating that the friendship between them “officially is over.”
“I will never repress my emotions because of someone. Conflicts are part of any relationship. If you don’t like my anger, then you don’t like me. My anger is a response to the pain I’ve ever lived. Asking a traumatized person who doesn’t react as a traumatized person is pure cruelty,” he wrote Bieber in the messages.
He continued, “I will never accept that a man calls my attacking anger. I took advantage of time, albeit short, of our friendship. And I wasn’t kidding when I said I didn’t need you as a friend. I have good friends. Friends who respect these limits.”
Previous posts of Bieber This year they showed the singer reflecting on the weight of growing under the spotlight. “When I was a child, they always told me not to feel hatred,” he wrote in March. “But it made me feel that I couldn’t hate it, so I never told anyone that I felt that hatred. What made me feel like being drowning, without security to recognize that feeling. I think we can only let hatred go when we admit that he is there. How not to feel hatred in the face of so much pain we have already lived?”.
Recently, Bieber separated from his longtime manager, Scooter Braunwhich publicly admitted that the relationship between the two “is no longer the same.” He also broke with other members of his team. Representatives of the singer denied rumors that he would be facing “financial problems” and criticized public obsession with his mental and physical health, calling her “exhaustive and unfortunate”.
