Justin Bieber makes shocking confession about 'hurting others'

Justin Bieber has shared an obscure message about being “selfish.”

Taking to his Instagram on Friday, May 9, the 31-year-old Canadian singer opened up about feeling like a "selfish" person who has "hurt others unintentionally" but is strongly looking forward to spreading love.

Bieber, the Grammy-winning superstar, scribbled, "I'm just an average flawed guy, I've done things that have hurt others.”

He went on to admit by writing, “I continue to do and say things that hurt others unintentionally. Yet I woke up this morning with another opportunity to grow and not be so selfish today."

The Somebody to Love hitmaker noted, "Love draws us in. Love doesn't condemn. Love believes the best. Love hopes all things and endures all things. It doesn't keep record of wrong. Love helps u to forgive and love even your enemies.”

Soon after, Bieber shared a follow-up post, writing, "I sometimes think I'm gonna get exposed if I tell people how selfish I am. Like if I admitted that, maybe people wouldn't like me or trust me."

“I thought if I was honest about the selfish things I was feeling that I was gonna be disqualified from the dreams I had of being included. But the more honest I am about where I really am. The more freedom I actually have,” he concluded.

Bieber did not stop there and shared a third post with a picture of a bird, further expressing his thoughts.

The Love Yourself crooner penned, "The truth is I wake up every morning. Some days I'm optimistic. Sometimes I wake up pessimistic. I can't control how I'm gonna feel.”

"I would find myself even subconsciously blaming god for the bad feeling I woke up with rather than communicate with him and ask him to help me have a change of perspective," he noted. "I’ve been really asking god to help me see the best in people. Even after being used in the way I have."

The father of one went on to confess that it is “easier to point the finger than it is to take ownership. It’s easy to say, 'Damn [they're] greedy,' rather than to check the greed in our own hearts. Only god can remove the greed and selfishness from our hearts.”

"Trying harder won’t work. Cuz I tried lol,” Bieber concluded.

Notably, these posts came after the Baby singer’s wife, Hailey, attended the 2025 Met Gala in New York City without him.

However, he commented on her look on Instagram by writing, "I see it I like it and I want it."

It is pertinent to mention that Justin Bieber spent the 2025 Met Gala night in the company of his pals watching the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Florida Panthers 5-4 in the opening playoff series game.
