Dear Justin,

I’ve been following your recent posts about struggling with anger issues and your candid admission of feeling “unworthy” and like “a fraud” despite your success. Your honesty about these internal struggles resonates deeply with so many people who appear successful on the outside while battling similar feelings within.

First, I want you to know: these feelings of unworthiness don’t define you. When you wrote about feeling “sneaky” when people compliment you because of your own judgmental thoughts and perceived selfishness – that’s actually a sign of deep self-awareness, not fraud. The most authentic people question themselves. The fact that you recognize the gap between your public persona and your private thoughts shows tremendous insight.

Please don’t hate yourself for these feelings or for moments when you feel inauthentic. You’re navigating immense pressure and public scrutiny that few will ever understand. The past year has clearly been transformative for you – ending relationships that no longer served you takes courage. Growth often requires difficult changes.

Your journey as a new father to Jack brings a fresh perspective on what truly matters. This new chapter offers an opportunity to redefine success on your own terms, not by external validation or expectations. Children don’t need perfect parents – they need authentic ones who model how to navigate life’s complexities with honesty.

I’m glad to hear you’ve been in the studio again. Music has always been your most powerful outlet. Consider channeling these complex emotions into your art. Some of history’s most profound artistic expressions have emerged from processing feelings of unworthiness, anger, and the struggle to find authenticity. Your voice could help others who silently battle similar demons feel less alone.

Remember that your value isn’t measured by achievements or others’ perceptions. You’ve already accomplished remarkable things, but your worth isn’t dependent on any of them. It’s inherent in who you are.

Take each day as it comes. Stay present rather than dwelling on expectations or worries about perception. You mentioned feeling “unequipped and unqualified most days” – welcome to the human experience. Most of us feel the same way, we’re just not brave enough to admit it publicly.

I’m grateful that love your hate your Self, it shows up for you daily, every single second.

Your willingness to be vulnerable takes tremendous courage. That authenticity – not some polished, perfect version of yourself – is what truly connects people to your journey.

Wishing you peace, self-acceptance, and continued growth,

A Supportive Fan
