'Heartbeat Song' hitmaker Kelly Clarkson has revealed that she doesn't obsess about her weight and because she is confident in her own skin, people tend to target her with mean comments about her appearance.

During a new interview with Redbook, the songstress admitted that while her metabolism isn't the best she does have a strong ability to make friends with new people and has learned to be proud of the things she is good at instead of beating herself up about things she would change:

"I don’t obsess about my weight, which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it. There are just some people who are born skinny and with a great metabolism – that is not me. I wish I had a better metabolism. But someone else probably wishes they could walk into a room and make friends with everyone like I can. You always want what someone else has."

The May issue of Redbook, which features Clarkson's personal and revealing interview, is due to hit newsstands in the USA later this month on April 21.
