Justin Bieber is getting real about his emotions, and fans are concerned.
The 31-year-old singer took to Instagram Stories over the weekend (March 16) to share a deeply personal message, hinting at struggles he’s been facing. In his post, he opened up about the weight of emotions he’s been carrying, particularly around the idea of hate.
“I was always told when I was a kid not to hate,” he wrote. “But it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it, and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it.”
The singer, who has been increasingly open about his mental health in recent years, explained that suppressing those feelings only made things harder. “Which made me feel like I have been drowning, feeling unsafe to acknowledge it.”
He continued with a powerful reflection: “I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging it’s there.”
“How couldn’t we feel hate from all of the hurt we have experienced?” he added, prompting a wave of support from fans who resonated with his words.
Justin’s emotional message comes just days after another vulnerable admission on social media, where he confessed to feelings of self-doubt. In that previous post, he described feeling “unworthy,” “selfish,” and like a “fraud.”
While Bieber has been relatively private about his day-to-day life in recent months, he has been open about his journey with mental health. In past interviews, he’s spoken candidly about fame, pressure, and the personal battles he’s faced behind the scenes. His wife, Hailey Bieber, has also been vocal about supporting his well-being, often sharing glimpses of their life together and standing by his side through his ups and downs.
Fans quickly took to social media to express concern and send messages of encouragement. Many praised him for his honesty and willingness to confront difficult emotions, while others urged him to take care of himself.
It’s clear that Justin’s words struck a chord with many, reminding people that even those in the spotlight face struggles. His openness about mental health continues to resonate with fans, proving that honesty and vulnerability can be powerful tools in breaking down stigmas.
