Bieber also stressed how one comment can ruin someone's day, adding:

"You can have one million people say the nicest things and then the one comment gets in there."

During his Twitch stream, Justin Bieber shared one particular comment about his "charisma" that affected him the most when he saw it on the platform. The comment said:

"Justin’s not as exuberant. He’ll never be his exuberant self ever again. He’s not his charisma."

Speaking about his reaction, Bieber said:

"I was like, ‘what?!’ I just played basketball. I’m just tired. But it starts getting in my head. Like, did I lose my charisma? My exuberance? I have a zest for life. It just sucks."

When he first joined Twitch, Justin Bieber said he would stream "pretty much every day", and has gained over 200K followers since then. The pop star's last album, SWAG, was released earlier this year in July. He released an extended version of the album, SWAG II, on September 5.

In the album, Bieber addressed multiple issues, including his relationship with wife Hailey Bieber. He also mentioned her in songs like Go Baby. Some of his songs, like Yukon and Daisies, also performed well. The singer has also spoken about his relationship with Hailey Bieber, and said:

"I don’t want to share too much of, like… she doesn’t want me to share too much of our relationship. But I can really be dismissive sometimes, and really not be sensitive to the room, you know what I mean? And I don’t like that I can do that. And sometimes it’s not because I want to, it’s just that I’m distracted."

He continued:

"But being aware of ‘I’m just a guy, I can be really impatient, I can be really insensitive,’ I can own that, and just forgive myself because God forgives me. He’s given me another chance. He’s not, like, ‘Get your sh*t together.’ He’s like, ‘Oh, son, let’s go. We got this. Let’s go. You got this.'"
