Selena Gomez was “much happier” when she was no longer on social media.
The “ Look At Her Now ” singer had actually decided to move away from Instagram and Twitter in 2018 because the opinions of Internet users on his appearance were starting to affect him too much.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on ‘Apple Music’s Beats 1’, she said, “I haven’t had social media for two years. You just have to do it. I was starting to go crazy. To start with, there were a million things that I didn’t want to see. I saw them over and over and over. Then I compared myself to someone else, I looked at these people and I thought, ‘How are they doing?’ … These are all the things people say, you see? It’s not new. Everyone’s life looks amazing, and I say to myself, “What about me? I’m missing something. Why is it so fun for everyone? “Then everything went dark. Some accounts were dissecting me, from my body to my face, my facial features, my decisions. They were telling stories and it was driving me crazy, it was destroying me. So I I just quit, and I tell everyone that it changed my life. And I live in an age where f emmes are supposed to have a certain appearance. It got in my head. Yes, I look young, I can’t help it. Obviously I’m 27 years old, but sometimes I say to myself “Oh, I look like a baby” and it’s stupid. When I wasn’t on social media, I was so much more satisfied with my appearance, who I was, and that helped me a lot. I only needed to give up who I was before. “
And the star says she now feels strong enough to ignore unpleasant comments when she goes to Instagram or Twitter.
She explained: “I consider this a new start, and I started with this album but I will continue to do better.”
