Justin Bieber has opened up about his emotional struggles in a candid post shared on Instagram. The pop star admitted he feels like he’s “drowning” and unsafe due to the unresolved hurt he’s experienced throughout his life. The post, accompanied by SZA’s I Hate U, sparked concern for Bieber’s mental health.
Bieber revealed how he was taught as a child not to feel hate, which led to him suppressing those emotions and feeling unsafe to acknowledge them. "I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging it’s there," he wrote, highlighting how past experiences of hurt can lead to feelings of hatred.
