Los Angeles – Justin Bieber did a cover shoot for Complex magazine and it is super-complex!
Not only does the What Do You Mean hitmaker talk about the very sad parts of his life, he makes it look really convincing too!
Starting off with the the bad:
Justin Bieber tells Complex how "unhappy" he was with his life.
He shared: "I went through a point of doing it for myself and doing everything in the industry for myself and I was unhappy because being able to do stuff for others is the biggest gift of all.
"I was robbing myself by not enjoying the moments where I should've been enjoying them and doing stuff for other people. I forgot what I was about, what my mom raised me to be. I veered off, and I got tainted."
The 21-year-old singer also admits people have "taken advantage" of him in the past.
He added: "I came into the music industry at 13. I was trying to trust people and they'd break my heart at 15.
"There are awesome people who are the lovely, amazing, joyful kind. But I only saw people who are shitty and were taking advantage of me.
"When you have that perspective, the way you act changes. I was basically like, Fuck everybody. Then I started doing my own thing. I got into a little bit of trouble just rebelling a little bit.
"Now, being 21, I'm coming into my own and around some pretty cool people who are not afraid to tell me what's real."
Watch the Biebs struggle and drown but come out on top in the Complex cover shoot video:
On to the good:
The Where Are You Now singer went on to admit he is indeed seeing a new girl but reveals his previous relationship with Selena Gomez causes him to be shy of certain situations in the new relationship.
Asked if he thinks he'll compare all his future relationships to what he had with Selena, he said: "Yeah. You get scarred from certain things. Even like - I'm kind of seeing this girl, right? I'm shy about doing or saying certain things, and then I say it and it's not even a problem.
"And I'll remember when I couldn't.... You're just scarred and you don't do something because in your last relationship they'd freak out, but [the new person is] just like, 'What are you talking about?'"
