Washington [US], March 23 (HBTV): Pop star Justin Bieber opened up about his struggles with authenticity and personal growth in a series of candid social media posts.

The 31-year-old Grammy winner took to Instagram on Saturday to share a video along with a note admitting that he ‘hates himself’ when he feels he is becoming ‘inauthentic.’

In the video, Bieber was seen jamming on a keyboard with fellow musicians, appearing happy and energetic.

‘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,’ read the caption of his post.

Earlier the same day, the Believe singer shared another personal post discussing his desire to work on his ‘anger issues.’

‘I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much. smh,’ he wrote.

Bieber also posted three pictures alongside the message—the first showing him hiding his face under a hoodie and the second a childhood picture of himself.

This is not the first time Bieber has spoken about his inner struggles.

On March 13, he shared a post reflecting on feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness:

‘People told me my whole life “wow, Justin, you deserve that,” but I personally have always felt unworthy. Like I was a fraud. Like when people told me I deserved something, it made me feel sneaky, like, damn, 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,’ he wrote.
