Charlie XCX gets candid about personal struggle

Charlie XCX recently opened up about taking a step back from social media as she continues to focus on her mental well being.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the Brat artist revealed that she has become less active online in an effort to protect her mental health.

“I have actually been a lot more offline,” she began. “I don’t really look as much anymore. It’s just better for my brain.”

The singer explained that online conversations can sometimes become difficult to manage.

“The discourse is loud, and sometimes that can be very overwhelming,” she remarked.

Elsewhere in the interview, she candidly discussed her ongoing mental health struggles.

“I know people probably won’t believe me, because I am inherently, at least in the past, a very online artist,” she said.

“But I recently have been really struggling with my mental health to the point where, if I’m being real, I’m in the worst place mentally that I’ve been in my life.”

Meanwhile, the songstress shared that she is now looking for more personal ways to connect with fans. 

“Things have changed now,” she confessed, adding, “I’m interested in making things really intimate between me and my audience, and sitting down one-on-one with a person and having a conversation.”
