Justin Bieber recently shared a cryptic message with fans, highlighting "anger issues" amid expressing a desire to "grow."
The "Intentions" hitmaker zoomed in on authenticity in a since expired Instagram Story he posted on Saturday (March 22), obtained by Page Six.
"I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh," the message read.
The post was accompanied by three photos of the star, one in a hoodie with his head down, one from his younger years, and another with a series of shipping containers. According to Page Six, Bieber also gifted the world a small snap of his son, Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey Bieber.
A few hours later, the "Ghost" icon posted a video of himself jamming with a band around a pool table with the caption:
"I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic. 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 honest message is the latest in a series of very relatable posts from Bieber, offering a candid look into his emotions in recent weeks. On March 16, he wrote about acknowledging hate.
"I was always told when I was a kid not to hate. But it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it. Which made me feel like I've been drowning. Feeling unsafe to acknowledge it. 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?"
Earlier this month, the "Baby" artist referred to himself as "unworthy" and a "fraud" in a similar message shared on Instagram.
"People told me my whole life 'Wow Justin u deserve that' and I personally have always felt unworthy. Like I was a fraud, Like when people told me I deserve something, it made me feel sneaky like d*** if only they knew my thoughts. How judgmental I am, how selfish I really am, they wouldn't be saying this. I say all this to say. If you feel sneaky welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days."
