As Justin Bieber continues to build his Twitch following, some negative comments have gotten to him.
The SWAG II artist first streamed last week, inviting fans into his personal life with glimpses of his friends and recording sessions. But not everyone seems convinced that Bieber is enjoying himself. On Monday evening (October 27), the Grammy winner told his crew that streaming on the platform feels “vulnerable as hell.”
"People who just feel shitty about themselves project and then they write me nasty things," he said. "It's already hard enough to put yourself out there."
One particular comment stuck out to Bieber after he streamed himself playing basketball and was "exhausted as hell." "They were like, 'Justin's not as exuberant. He'll never be his exuberant self ever again,' he recounted. "'He lost his charisma.' I was like, 'What?'"
Bieber said he was simply “tired” during the stream and was focused on his friends as they discussed “emotional things” at the time. "Then I started getting in my head, like, Did I lose my charisma [and] exuberance?" Bieber continued. "I have a zest for life–it just sucks [that] you can have a million people say the nicest things and the one comment..."
Regardless of what his detractors have to say, the vocalist plans to stream consistently and has intrigued fans with his thoughts on infidelity and a past disagreement with his wife's doula.
Before opening up on Twitch, Bieber opened up his honest thoughts on Instagram in multiple posts about his mental health.
