Award winning singer, Melissa Viviane Jefferson, known professionally as Lizzo, has opened up to fans in an emotional new TikTok video, about “feeling sad” while confessing that she also feels “like a burden to everyone.”
The 33-year-old entertainer tearfully explained, “You know that part of sadness where you feel like a burden on everyone, and annoying, and nobody cares about you?” she asked aloud before letting out a sigh. “Can we get rid of that part? It’s like, ‘Yo, I’m already sad,’” she continued. “Gotta add insult to injury that I have no one to talk to about it. It’s crazy. Like, why do we feel this way? Why do we feel this way when we get sad?”
She went on to say, “I don’t want to feel this way anymore. I want to feel like I do have someone to talk to and people do care about me,” she said before the superstar reminded herself that, “I am loved. I’m not alone. That’s how I want to feel, but I don’t feel it.” “OK, this is embarrassing,” she said before ending the emotional and candid video. Although Lizzo didn’t share exactly what was making her feel so down, she did give a hint of it in a follow-up video shared to TikTok later on Saturday, in which she said she was feeling a bit better:
“I’m feeling better. I had a really rough night and a very emotional morning just thinking about my relationships and life,’ she explained. ‘You know how it is, it gets dark. I’m definitely glad I reached out in any way I could, and TikTok was one of those ways to feel perceived and seen and heard was really, really helpful,” she said.
