Justin Bieber Opens Up, Says He Struggles With Feelings of Being ‘Unworthy’ and a ‘Fraud’

Justin Bieber is opening up on his struggles with imposter syndrome, telling his fans that he’s “always felt unworthy.”

The “Peaches” singer shared an emotional message on his Instagram Story Thursday, admitting that although people have always told him he “deserves” everything he’s attained in life, he still feels like a “fraud.”

“It made me feel sneaky, like damn if they only knew my thoughts… how judgmental I am, how selfish I really am, they wouldn’t be saying this,” he wrote.

The 31-year-old musician went on to say that he feels “unequipped and unqualified most days,” but sent encouragement and support to followers who may be having the same experience.

Justin Bieber opened up about his mental health struggles on Instagram.

Bieber’s post comes days after he shared a message on social media that read, “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.”

The messages all followed Bieber and his wife, Hailey, shutting down speculation and online gossip about Bieber’s health, including rumors that he’s using hard drugs.

The couple called the persistent rumors “exhausting and pitiful,” saying that “despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
