Justin Bieber Admits He Has "Anger Issues" and Feels "Broken" in Emotional Post

Justin Bieber shared a chain of cryptic posts on social media, touching on being “tired of transactional relationships” and other people’s expectations of him. 

Following a slew of Instagram captions focused on "forgiveness" and "flaws," the two-time Grammy winner and dad, 31, wrote on Instagram on Sunday, June 8, that he is "tired of transactional relationships." 

"If I have to do something to be loved, that’s not love," Bieber pointed out.

Days after clapping back at public concerns over his well-being, the "Love Yourself" singer penned a new Instagram post about "people keep telling me to heal," adding, "Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already?".

"I know I’m broken," he continued in a June 16 post. "I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am."

Sharing he’s “exhausted” with thinking about himself, Bieber —who shares 9-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber with wife Hailey Bieber—added, "Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others."

The candid note comes one day after the singer appeared to end a friendship with an unnamed individual over his emotions. In a June 15 Instagram post, the 31-year-old shared screenshots of a text exchange reading, "I will never suppress my emotions for someone. Conflict is a part of relationship. If you don’t like my anger, you don’t like me."

Explaining that "anger is a response to pain," Justin appeared to text his friend, "Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean."

When the pal accused him of "lashing out," the Grammy winner replied, "Ouch. This friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out."

He added, "I wasn't kidding when I told u I didn’t need u as a friend. I have good friends. Who will respect these boundaries."

While Justin did not share any additional details about the text chain, his former manager, Scooter Braun, did recently speak out about their friendship and how it's "not that same that it was."

"You get to a point as a man where you want to show the world you can do it on your own and I completely respect that," he shared on the June 9 episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast. "At this point, that’s what he’s doing. And myself and everyone from the old team is rooting for him."
