'It Gave Me Bad Anxiety': Hailey Bieber Says 'Toxic Environment' Made Her Quit Twitter

Hailey Bieber says she deactivated her Twitter account because of its "very toxic environment," which was taking a toll on her mental health.

In a video uploaded on her YouTube channel Wednesday, Hailey spoke about social media and its effects. The newly-launched YouTube channel has previously featured some light-hearted videos such as Bieber's skincare routine and a style challenge. However, the new video showed the 24-year-old model discussing her social media struggles with psychiatrist Dr. Jessica Clemons.

Hailey said her marriage with Justin Bieber in 2018 "really opened me up to this new kind of level of attention."

"I think one of the biggest things I struggled with for sure was the comparison aspect of body comparison and looks comparison and behavior comparison," she explained. "I think when you're going through a situation where you just have so many people hounding you with the same thing over and over and over again, it starts to mess with your mind and then you start to question everything and you're like, 'Is there something that I'm not seeing that they see?'"

"I don't even have a Twitter anymore because there was never really a time where I would go on there and it didn't feel like it was a very toxic environment," Hailey continued. "The thought of even opening the app gives me such bad anxiety that I feel like I'm gonna throw up."

"When I look at my comments now, when I put up a photo or a video or anything, I know it's only going to be people that I know are only going to be positive and only going to be encouraging and uplifting," she reflected on changing her Instagram settings that will allow only known people to comment on her posts.

"I want everyone to like me, it's like, my downfall at times and I'm working through it," she added. "I think one thing I've had to come to the conclusion of is trying not to feel like I owe everybody an explanation or owe anybody anything, and really just try to correct what I need to correct personally behind closed doors."

Hailey is not the only celebrity to quit Twitter. Recently, Chrissy Teigen also spoke about how Twitter was serving her "negatively."
