Midway through her massive tour in support of her album, Vie, Doja Cat had an honest chat with Vogue about therapy and her struggles with loneliness.
The singer, who graces the April 2026 cover of Vogue, confirmed in a video interview that she attends therapy twice a week, attributing the practice to helping her deal with loneliness on the road.
“I want to be around people and I don't like to be lonely,” she explained. “My job is very lonely and it comes with being around people who you love. But to be fair, I mean, you are you are employing these people. It doesn't mean they love you any less. Doesn't mean that you love them any less. It just means that there is a barrier. And it that is something that's really hard to come to terms with in certain moments.”
“It's incredibly lonely. I'm lonely,” Doja continues, mentioning that she lives away from most people in her life. “I don't want to have friends in the industry. Sometimes I try. Sometimes I'm like, well, why wouldn't I? I mean, like, I can relate to them, but I it's something that I'm going to struggle with, and I've got to I got to figure it out. I don't think it'll ever be fully figured out, but it's just something that I got to understand better in order to change things.”
She explained how a frequent topic in therapy is romance, specifically unpacking her trust issues when it comes to men.
“I talk about men with my therapists a lot and I think like I have a really big trust issue with guys… honestly [it] goes for for everyone, but being vulnerable with certain people, like I tried to do it on TikTok recently and be sincere. I think sincerity is really hard for me at certain moments. And my fans can attest to that. Like I think a lot of people have witnessed me in moments where I'm not being sincere. And I think it only does really good things for me when I can express myself.”
In the actual cover story, written by Liam Hess, Doja attributed her self-proclaimed “serial dater” title to something quite simple: “I’m 30, so I’m ovulating and horny.”
The singer has made headlines over the months for her increased presence on TikTok, opening up about inheriting lipedema from her family and her “agonizing” borderline personality disorder diagnosis when empathizing with Chappell Roan.
