Justin Bieber shared his struggles with having “anger issues” and his dislike of himself whenever he feels “inauthentic,” in an Instagram post on Saturday.
The pop star uploaded a collection of mysterious messages to his social media, accompanied by images of himself and a video of him playing instruments with a band. “I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh,” the 31-year-old wrote, adding a facepalm emoji to the caption. The caption was accompanied by three photos, one showing him with his face down in a hoodie, another of him as a child, and a third featuring cargo shipping containers along with a small image that seems to be of his son, Jack Blues.
Later that Saturday, the “Sorry” singer shared a video of himself making music with a band. In the caption, he wrote, “I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic.” He added, “Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people.”
The posts follow increasing public concern for the singer’s mental and physical well-being, although many have commended him for being vulnerable. Earlier this month, Bieber acknowledged on Instagram that he has “always felt unworthy” despite the immense love and admiration from his fans. Just the week prior, he shared, “We have nothing to prove today just the gift of life today to accept and receive. Nothing is owed to us and we don’t owe anyone anything.” His rep previously shut down rumors that the singer was using any form of drugs, calling the accusations “harmful.”
