Zayn Malik on His Problems with Anxiety

Discussing his anxiety, Malik shares, “I want people to see the good side to me and, yeah, the emotional stress of maybe not fulfilling that is a lot sometimes.” The 23-year-old singer continues, “Anxiety is something people don’t necessarily want to advertise because it’s seen, in a way, like a weakness. I speak about it so that people understand that it doesn’t matter what level of success you have, where you’re from, who you are, what sex you are, what you do–you can still experience these things.”

Continuing to open up, Malik confides, “For me to pretend that I didn’t have anxiety would be fake. It also helps people understand why I behave in a certain way. Sometimes things get in the way of us doing exactly what we want. I never mean to offend. It’s an uncontrollable thing that I can’t do anything about.” Talking about how anxiety affects his career, Malik adds, “Sometimes I won’t go heads in with something that could be really beneficial because I don’t feel comfortable.” Read more on Standard.co.uk.
