Singer-actress Selena Gomez's break-up with popstar Justin Bieber led to her quitting social media.

The 'Only Murders in the Building' actress' on/off romance with the 'Yummy' hitmaker finally ended after eight years in 2018 and shortly afterwards, he was confirmed to be dating now-wife Hailey Baldwin.

Selena has revealed her heartbreak was one of the deciding factors in her deciding to step away from Instagram.

Speaking to Fast Company, Selena - who only returned to the platform over the last year - said: 바카라œI had just gotten my heart broken. I didn바카라™t need to see what everyone was doing. Then there were those moments of not feeling positive about how I looked because of what I바카라™d see on Instagram. Wow, I wish my body looked like that.바카라

The 'Lose You To Love Me' hitmaker also said cruel comments over her figure, because she no longer had a "teenager's body", took a toll at the same time, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She said: "None of the sample sizes were fitting, and that would make me feel embarrassed. Although how unrealistic is it to expect a normal woman바카라™s body not to change?바카라

Although Selena was diagnosed with bipolar disorder the same year she split from Justin, she only made her condition public two years later and she explained she was "freaked out" at the thought being open would lead to her being judged and losing work.

She said: 바카라œI grew up being a people pleaser. I had a responsibility at a very young age - young people were looking up to me. I didn바카라™t know who I was. Having that responsibility would make me walk on eggshells a lot.

바카라œI thought maybe it would be damaging to tell people who I am. It started to become a threat that freaked me out. Well, if you바카라™re not right, then you can바카라™t work.바카라

She was relieved to get her diagnosis because she'd been struggling with her moods.

She said: 바카라œI went through a really hard season. It was my highs and my lows, and I didn바카라™t know what to do, so I couldn바카라™t control it.

바카라œI would want to cancel things. It was just a tormented feeling. That바카라™s why, when I found out my diagnosis, it was just: 바카라˜Oh, okay, I feel a bit relieved, I understand a bit more.바카라™바카라

Selena thinks the key to her popularity is she comes across as a "best friend" to her fans, rather than an unobtainable "goddess".

She said: 바카라œI바카라™m not unattainable. I look at someone like a Beyonce, and I am amazed. My jaw drops. Every part of her is just impeccable, and it바카라™s just so beautiful. I went to her show and was blown away. But I바카라™m just not that, and that바카라™s okay.

"I바카라™m me, and I바카라™m a little silly, but I also like being sexy and fun, and I also want to do good with the time I have here. We need goddesses like Beyonce and Adele. But I바카라™m just happy to be your best friend.바카라
