When his 2016 song Stitches got tremendous attention throughout the world, the singer soared into popularity as a teenager, and his career is now moving from strength to strength at the age of 23. Despite his obvious success, Shawn has admitted that he occasionally struggles mentally and feels like a disappointment or that he is ‘drowning.’ Shawn, who has nearly 27 million Twitter followers, went to the platform on Wednesday to share an open and honest letter with supporters so they could realize “the reality.”
Shawn Mendes has spoken up about his mental wellbeing, admitting that he was scared that coming up would make folks ‘think less of him.’ In its current shape, the truth is a 23-year-old who feels like he’s either soaring or sinking. ‘Perhaps that’s just what it’s like to be in your twenties (I’m not sure), or perhaps that’s just me.’ ‘Sometimes I don’t care what other people think, and I feel free,’ Shawn continued. ‘The truth is that most of the time it’s a battle.’ Even though I’ve had a lot of success, it’s still difficult for me to feel like I’m not failing. ‘I’m overloaded and overstimulated,’ she says.
He went on to reassure worried followers that he is ‘OK,’ and expressed hope that his candour will ‘resonate with some people.’ The popular performer received a deluge of messages from well-wishers, including fans, friends, and those who shared his or her feelings, and the post was well-received, with about 100,000 likes. Shawn responded to the post with a tweetstorm in which he expressed gratitude to those who had allowed him to voice his mind.
He was also going through a difficult time as a result of his separation from Camilla, but the two singers have agreed to be friends.
