Justin Bieber has been opening up about his personal struggles, sharing introspective Instagram posts about anger, self-doubt, and feelings of unworthiness.
In recent updates, the singer admitted to grappling with past pain and questioning his self-worth, sparking speculation about his well-being. However, sources close to Bieber insist that he and his wife, Hailey Bieber, are doing well, focusing on both parenthood and their respective careers.
Bieber Addresses Anger Issues and the Desire to Grow
On Saturday, March 22, Bieber took to Instagram to discuss his challenges with anger, writing:
“I’ve got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh.”
Accompanying his message were three photos: a close-up selfie in a hoodie, a childhood throwback, and an image that appears to be his baby son, Jack Blues, lying on a blanket watching a movie on a projector.
In a follow-up post, Bieber reflected on self-perception, stating:
“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.”
These posts are part of a series of introspective messages from the 31-year-old singer, including a recent Instagram Story about “forgiveness.”
Bieber also revisited a 2019 Instagram caption from his wife, Hailey, about the importance of embracing vulnerability, responding with, “Still relevant, boo.”
Lately, his social media presence has been filled with reflections on having “nothing to prove,” struggling with feeling “unworthy,” and the importance of acknowledging hate before letting it go.
Bieber Discusses Letting Go of Hate and Facing Past Pain
On March 16, Bieber shared another emotional Instagram Story, revealing his journey toward letting go of 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,” he wrote.
The “Peaches” singer admitted that suppressing those emotions left him feeling “DROWNING, FEELING UNSAFE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.” He emphasized the need to face emotions head-on, writing:
“I THINK WE CAN ONLY LET HATE GO BY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING IT’S THERE.”

Bieber Opens Up About Feeling Like a ‘Fraud’ and Unworthy
On March 13, Bieber shared a deeply personal reflection about self-doubt and the internal conflict of feeling unworthy.
“People told me my whole life, ‘Wow, Justin [you] 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 only they knew my thoughts.”
He continued:
“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.”
Bieber’s candid confessions have led to widespread speculation, including rumors of drug use. However, his representative dismissed these claims as “salacious.”
