Singer Justin Bieber has revealed that while it may look like he's having a great time at the moment, he is still struggling and having to actively keep himself in a good headspace every day. 

Speaking to Billboard about his recent return to the spotlight, the young star admitted that it isn't as rosy as it seems:

"It might seem awesome from the outside, but I’m struggling. Certain things broke my trust with people. Situations happen that taint your mind. I started going through the motions. I felt like people were judging me all the time."

He added: "I came out alive. I came out swinging. But I was close to letting [fame] completely destroy me.”

When asked how he felt during the lowest points, the 'What Do You Mean?' sensation added that it was a very dark space to be in: "Empty. Lost. Like I didn’t know myself. You’re not good enough. People hate you. You try too hard.”
