And it was quite hard for her to deal with as life continued to just move on.
Selena stated, “Then it just was me not being able to move from my bed. I didn’t want anyone to talk to me” and added, “Sometimes it was weeks I’d be in bed, to where even walking downstairs would get me out of breath.” the singer got to a point where she contemplated suicide and even though she did not attempt it, she thought the world would be better without her.
Apart from feeling a lot of pressure and responsibility due to her work and position in the industry, she also had other aspects she was worried about. Selena revealed, “I grew up thinking I would be married at 25. It wrecked me that I was nowhere near that” and added “couldn’t be farther from it.”
She accepted that it was “so stupid” but at that point, she really thought her “world was over.” The Wizards of Waverly Place star disclosed that she did not “fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities” and said that her only friend in the industry is Taylor Swift, making her think she did not really belong. “I felt the presence of everyone around me living full lives,” she felt.
