In a candid and heartfelt post shared on Instagram, Justin Bieber opened up about his struggles with authenticity and self-acceptance.
The 31-year-old pop star reflected on how he sometimes feels overwhelmed by the pressure to conform to others’ expectations.
“I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic,” he wrote in the caption of a video posted on March 22, showing himself jamming out with fellow musicians.
His message resonated with fans, as he emphasized the challenges of changing oneself to please others.
Bieber, known for his chart-topping hits like “Lost Love” and “Believe,” also shared that he recognizes how society often makes people feel inadequate, yet he still struggles with the tendency to adapt to others’ desires.

“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,” he added.
Earlier in the day, Bieber posted another deeply personal message on his Instagram, opening up about his ongoing battle with anger.
“I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh,” he wrote, accompanied by a series of photos—one of him as a child, one of him wearing a hoodie, and one with his son, Jack Blues, born in August 2024. These messages reflect Bieber’s desire for self-improvement and growth.
This marks the latest in a series of introspective posts from Bieber, who has been using social media to express his personal journey.
On March 13, he shared how he has often felt undeserving of praise and success, admitting to feelings of fraudulence. “I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days,” he said.
