AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber is reflecting on his personal insecurities and sharing his journey with his fans. In a heartfelt message posted to his Instagram Stories, the 31-year-old pop star opened up about his struggles with self-esteem and his feelings of being unworthy despite his massive success.

"People told me my whole life, 'wow Justin u deserve that,' and I personally have always felt unworthy," Bieber confessed. "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."

Bieber's candid admission is a rare glimpse into the mind of a global superstar who continues to grapple with self-doubt. He acknowledged, "I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days," and extended an invitation to others feeling the same way, "If you feel sneaky welcome to the club."

His transparency comes as he's been hinting at new music, sharing snapshots of himself in a recording studio.

The artist's honesty extends beyond self-reflection. He's also addressed recent concerns and rumors about his behavior and substance use. After sharing a video of himself rapping and smoking with friends, fans expressed worry.

In response, Bieber's rep dismissed allegations of hard drug use, calling the speculation "exhausting and pitiful." The rep emphasized that despite the obvious truth, certain narratives continue to persist.

Further underlining his battles, Bieber has been open about his past struggles with addiction. In his 2020 documentary "Justin Bieber: Sessions," he revealed the severity of his substance abuse at its peak.

"I decided to stop because I felt like I was dying," he explained. Despite overcoming significant challenges, Bieber, who also fights Lyme Disease and chronic mono, remains committed to his journey of sobriety and personal growth.

"I know, ultimately, it's not only for me, but being the best me is going to help me be the best husband, the best father, the best friend I can possibly be," he said.

As Justin Bieber continues to navigate his personal challenges, he relies on his faith for strength. His recent posts showed a reliance on spiritual guidance, including biblical messages that resonate deeply with his fans. Referencing the Gospel of John, Bieber highlighted Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead to illustrate faith and resilience against doubt.

Despite the turbulence, Bieber remains hopeful and motivated, echoing a message of letting go of control and trusting in a higher power. "Asking Jesus to genuinely help me with simply the next step today," he shared.

The coming months promise potential new releases that fans eagerly anticipate, hopeful that Bieber's journey of self-improvement will continue to inspire and resonate.
