Selena Gomez Explains That Social Media Sometimes Makes Her Feel Depressed

Selena Gomez is opening up about her love-hate relationship with social media.

During her appearance on Live! with Kelly and Ryan on Wednesday (June 12), the 26-year-old actress and singer revealed she puts her mental health in priority over the platforms.

“I used to a lot,” she shared about interacting with her fans more on Instagram and Twitter, “but I think it’s just become really unhealthy.”

She continued, “I think, personally, for young people, including myself, to spend all of their time fixating on all these comments and letting this stuff in. It was affecting me. It would make me depressed. It would make me feel not good about myself and look at my body differently and all kinds of stuff.”

Now, Selena doesn’t even have Instagram on her phone: “I have it on someone else’s phone, and when I feel like I want to share something with my fans or just mess around with it, I do it then.”
