Justin Bieber admitted he has “anger issues” and that he doesn’t like himself when he becomes “inauthentic.”

“I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh,” Bieber, 31, wrote with a facepalm emoji.

He added, “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 posts come after mounting public worry for the singer’s mental and physical health, though many praised the singer for his candid captions.

Earlier this month, Bieber admitted on Instagram that he’s “always felt unworthy” despite being surrounded by so much love and praise from fans.
