"I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WHEN I WAS A KID NOT TO HATE BUT IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WASNT ALLOWED TO HAVE IT AND SO I DIDNT TELL ANYONE IVE HAD IT. WHICH MADE ME FEEL LIKE LIKE I HAVE BEEN DROWNING FEELING UNSAFE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT I THINK WE CAN ONLY LET HATE GO BY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING ITS THERE HOW COULDNT WE FEEL HATE FROM ALL OF THE HURT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED?"

The singer added SZA's I Hate You song in the background while uploading it. Through the text, Bieber conveyed being told not to hate as a child. However, by the end, he told his fans that acknowledging hate is the only way to let go of the pain it causes.

Justin Bieber has always been quite open about his childhood struggles and the challenges he faces as a celebrity from time to time with his fans. The singer uploaded a YouTube documentary in 2020, named The Dark Season, where he opened up about his addiction to the substance. The singer called the substance 'an escape from the world.'

On March 13, Justin Bieber uploaded another message on his Instagram story that said,

"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 Damn if they only knew my thoughts How judgmental I am, how selfish I really am They wouldn’t be saying this I say all this to say."

He further emphasized that these feelings are common by adding,

"If you feel sneaky welcome to the club I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days."

The message shared Justin Bieber's experience with self-doubt and 'feeling like a fraud' despite getting praise from others.
