"I Suck At It" - Shawn Mendes On Trying To Stay Off Social Media

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

A most impressive young man… overcome by hope, joy… carry on Mr. Mendes, best wishes, health, joy and wellbeing… 🖖🏽

[@Kathluvsbts808]

Shawn doesn't deserve hate he's the best human ever!!

[@ioanabbb5563]

the fact that he sees all the hate he gets makes me so sad cause ppl really don't hold back on the internet when talking about celebrities like they're not human too

[@SunshineRiot]

Oh honey, did you discover the internet a week ago? I'm not saying it's okay for people to say mean things, but it's not only a part of life generelly, it's sadly a part of internet culture. And when he looks at the bad parts... well, he could choose not to look.

Where is getting the hate from exactly? Excellent humane being ❤

[@wolfofyourstreet]

@@veganapplepie5829 and what do you know about him? If he cares about you why doesn’t he even know your name or even willing to speak to you

[@veganapplepie5829]

@@wolfofyourstreet lmao what? 💀💀 do you even think and read before posting nonsense comments?? No celebrities on earth know every name of every single fan. Who gives a damn?? He doesn’t owe anything to anyone. He’s just a singer doing his thing why you so mad? It’s amazing that he even cares about his fans and others who need help. The fact is that he cares about their input and loves meeting and connecting with his fans like he said constantly. And that’s the case for many artists. He actually shares his platform with change makers and youth activists and is doing something for good in this world. He’s not like you doing nothing and hating. At least he spreads love and positivity and helps so many people with his art. So I would understand why you would be so mad and jealous of someone amazing like him. It’s not always that you meet someone like that huh? Lmfao. I watched his interviews and have been a fan for 7 years so I would know that he is actually genuine but that’s easy to tell even without being a fan. Many people I know think the same even tho they haven’t seen his interviews. He just got those vibes. Even his psychic readings proves it. And everything he’s done as well. Not everyone is a narcissist and idk how you drew that conclusion (you should look up what a narcissist is before saying things like this) when it makes no sense at all since you don’t even know a single thing about him. You’re actually embarrassing. 💀 now you keep proving how much of a troll you are… also if you don’t like him what are you even doing here? Why view videos of him🤦🏾‍♀️ obsessed much? Nah… now I know what’s up. jealousy is what’s happening here. Nothing more.

[@veganapplepie5829]

@@wolfofyourstreet and I bet you didn’t even listen to the video. Why even click the video if you’re not gonna watch and simply hate for absolutely no reason? While you’re here hating he remains successful, talented and keeps spreading positivity and awareness with his platform. Stay mad

[@ArtistFormallyKnownasMC]

I didn’t really think about it until they pointed it out, but he and John seem like they’re on the same wave length. Like he said a lot of love to share. We could all use that positive influence in our lives. I’m terrible with social media as well. I deleted everything this week, but came back on KZbin to share positive feedback with a podcast I follow and to keep up with my funny news over here! Those two gentlemen are ones I definitely want to follow next time I get on the other apps.

[@livchapman8051]

Why are so many comments about his sexuality? Who cares? Why is this something that needs to be discussed or considered? Confused!!

[@anag.galindo4267]

Same for social media. I think he fits with Colbert sense of humor.

[@Axi-z3p]

Lovely young man. I wish you strength in your fragility. I wish you so much success supporting other young people. Very inspiring, and I really like the way Colbert took you as an ernest person, and looked like he wanted to learn something from you. I'm sure it was a surprise for his audience as well. Thank you Shawn. Thank you Stephen.

[@mmu_8]

the comments about his sexuality are so weird...being sensitive, sweet and soft-spoken does not mean you’re gay all of a sudden. all the stereotypes yall are trying to get rid of you’re imposing on this man- make it make sense

[@vVaIker]

The Venn diagram of people who are trying to get rid of the common use of stereotypes and the people who promulgate their use, shows very little correlation between the two grups. Your comment makes it seem like it is a single circle!

And you can tell that he is kind, sweet, smart, considerate, funny. He is also really quick -witted which i have noticed in many other interviews as well. I hope i don't come across as borderline obsessive 🌚 but idk i just have this strange adoration for him....

[@stonehedge35]

Social media and addiction to fame is a dangerous and slippery road for most celebs. I think trying to maintain a heart-throb image would be exhausting, it's better to be authentic and confident in who you are inside. I hope Shawn finds that inner-strength to care less about public opinions or getting attention from strangers, and just focus on his craft & his real life relationships that matter most.

[@heyaaa2174]

He has always stayed true to himself in my opinion but he was definitely hurting a lot by comments made about him and especially regarding his sexuality. I really feel like he's freer now and less affected by the hate he gets. Regardless he was always super focused on his craft

[@braupaul]

The only social media I have is: Facebook and KZbin. That's it. While yes at times it can be addicting, namely youtube....I do my best to stay off of Facebook the best that I can. And I only have youtube account to really just comment and subscribe, and make playlists, etc. That's it really.

Good job staying off social media I agree with u!

[@tiny99990]

"we're smarter than that" Are we though? Are we really? Look in the U.S. at least, I'd say collectively we are *not* smarter than that, a slim majority might be smarter than that if we are lucky but as a collective together we are not. We definitely *should* be smarter than that as a collective, but the greed so prevalent in our society here relies on the majority of the electorate not being smart enough to communicate without so much hate.

[@tiny99990]

@@alexisfrank3585 I definitely understood the intent, but, the reality is different. Also the people he is reaching to, slap his hand away in a political fervor, while doing the very thing he is trying to say they are smarter than. His intent is admirable of course, but what happens when people who accept and understand his intent see him being attacked? The divide between them deepens, This isn't to say that people shouldn't try, we just need to try with a reality based approach.
