Selena Gomez Opens up About Her Tragic Past in a Shocking New Interview

Following her painful breakup with famous Canadian singer Justin Bieber before his engagement with Hailey Baldwin, Selena Gomez took a long, indefinite break from the limelight to focus more on taking care of herself.

You rarely see her updating her social media account unless she’s announcing upcoming projects and collaborations. While her fans respect the singer’s privacy, they couldn’t help but wonder what she’s currently up to.

Well for those who are curious, Selena just gave her first emotional interview as she talked about herself and going to therapy. Let us uncover the heart-wrenching battle she endured and what to expect on her new album.

The Confession

Before her emotional interview started, Selena revealed she’s not the type of person who memorizes a script or rehearses what she says on air. So any information she utters is true, genuine, and sincere as she speaks directly from her heart.

Then it prompted the renowned singer to confess how she doesn’t like it when people pay too much attention to her appearance or be fixated on her looks.

While she appreciates her fans’ comments about her, Selena wants to be loved and accepted as the person that she is. She wants men to see past through her physical appearance and focus on what constitutes her as a person.

Maintaining Good Mental Health

The famous American singer also shares some of her secret tips to maintain a healthy and positive mindset despite the stress and pressure surrounding us. According to Selena, she limits her exposure to social media platforms because she knows how they can affect her mental health.

Selena logs off her Instagram account occasionally because she notices it ends up making her depressed and self-conscious of her physical appearance and flaws, especially after reading nasty comments about her.

Taking a break from the online world certainly helps Selena to reassess and realign herself to focus on achieving her goals.

The Therapy

Even though it’s incredibly difficult for Selena to come to terms with her mental health struggles at first, the renowned singer finally decided to undergo therapy.

Thanks to her psychiatrist, she understands where her troubles stem from and how her childhood has played an important role in making her who she is today. Selena discovered new things about herself in therapy and how some events from her past shaped her.

The Wrap-Up

All in all, Selena says she’s finally in a place where she’s happy with herself, and she doesn’t need someone else to validate her worth. She loves being on her own now, and she’s excited to release her new album later this year. Selena also urges her fans to drop the dating rumors circulating between her and Zac Efron.
