Madison Beer has a "really poor" relationship with social media because it makes her feel "constantly anxious"

She told The Hollywood Reporter: "My relationship with social media is really poor. I feel like I'm constantly anxious and feeling like I want to delete all my social media.

"It's something I actually struggle with weekly, where I will have a thought: I don't want to participate in any of that stuff anymore.

"Then I'll go on TikTok, and I'll see someone post a video crying about how much they love me and how excited they are for my tour.

"OK, obviously this is what I would love to only ever see, positive, nice things like that. The reality is that's not the truth, and I will always see a video that's a hate video or some nasty tweet or whatever it is."

She went on to add: "[It's] not fair that I don't get to be on [social media]. I'm a 26-year-old girl. Most girls my age are on TikTok and able to scroll and [have] it not be an issue.

"I have to sit and be worried that I'm going to see a f****** mean video about myself. Obviously, it's not the biggest issue in the world, but it still is something that's hard, and it's upsetting."

The singer first found fame as a child star, and Madison admits negative attention online really hurt her as a vulnerable teenager.

She told the Observer newspaper: "People are so quick to be like: 'This is what's wrong with this person,' and attack someone's character.

"The first boyfriend I had [Jack Gilinsky of pop-rap duo Jack and Jack] ... I got so much hate from his fanbase and all of these people online. I learned, very early, that people can be quite cruel ...

"I would hope that people are now like, 'Bullying a 15-year-old is unacceptable', whereas when I was 15, that wasn't really a conversation.

"I didn't really feel very protected."

Madison also revealed she has made a concerted effort to move on from her negative experiences.

The pop star explained: "I feel like I'm just at a point in my life where I'm doing my thing, and I'm focusing on my music and my career. I've done a lot of therapy, especially regarding those early years, and I've really tried to let go of it all.

"Holding animosity, hatred and negativity towards things like that [doesn't] do me any good. I've completely let go of it, and I don't care. That's not my issue, not my circus."
