Justin Bieber‘s mental health has been a concern among fans and loved ones for quite a while now. And his recent Instagram Story about his struggles with self-doubt and insecurity has only added to it!
The 31-year-old “Peaches” singer shared a raw and emotional message with his 294M Instagram followers earlier this month, where he admitted that he often feels “unworthy,” “unequipped,” and like a “fraud.” This candid confession has unsurprisingly sparked concern among fans, many of whom believe it’s one of his most vulnerable posts yet.
Justin Bieber Talks About Imposter Syndrome On Instagram
The two-time Grammy winner opened up to his fans about his feelings on Thursday, March 13th, writing: "People told me my whole life, 'wow Justin u deserve that' and I personally have always felt unworthy. Like I was a fraud."
"When people told me I deserve something, it made me feel sneaky like damn if they only knew my thoughts. How judgemental (sic) I am. How selfish I really am. They wouldn't be saying this," the "Yummy" hitmaker and father-of-one continued.
"I say all this to say. If you feel sneaky, welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days," he concluded his candid post.
Fans Share Their Concerns On Social Media
Although fans were unable to comment on Bieber's Instagram Story, many took to other social media platforms to express their concerns for his health and wellbeing and offer support.
"That's heartbreaking to hear," wrote one fan on X. "I think this boy has serious problems," added a second, as a third said: "Hopefully, he's surrounded by people who support and uplift him."
"Imposter syndrome. Many successful people suffer from this at some point," thought a fourth, while a fifth supporter chimed in: "He's so talented. He needs to go easy on himself." "I hope he gets the help he needs," added a sixth worried fan.
