Demi Lovato admits having 'compassion for the haters online'

Lovato reflected on how social media no longer has an impact on them compared to their teen years, as she said, "My relationship with social media has evolved over the years from looking to the internet for validation to not looking at internet comments at all."

"If I happen to see something negative, it doesn't affect me the way that it used to," they explained.

"And I don't know if that's just with age or how many years I've been in the public eye, I just don't let it sit with me the way that it used to. It doesn't hold power over me the way that it used to. And that's really refreshing, and it's like I don't mind what other people have to say about me," the two-time Grammy nominee continued.

"I have an understanding that the people that are commenting mean things lack awareness or they lack self-love and respect because anybody that's navigating from a higher sense of good, they're not going to comment anything like that on someone's page," Lovato further shared.

"And if they really love themselves, they're not focusing on other people. So I have compassion for the haters online, too," they added.

Demi Lovato opens up on their decision to get injectables to 'feel like your best self'

Lovato also discussed their decision to incorporate injectables, such as Xeomin, an anti-wrinkle injection into their beauty routine every three months in their early 30s.

"I’ve always believed in making choices that are empowering, [keep you] true to yourself, and help you look and feel your best," said the 'Heart Attack' singer.

"It gives me the results I want while still looking like myself," they added, highlighting the significance of transparency in discussing beauty routines as they believe it "takes the taboo away," particularly from procedures like Xeomin.

"I’m always transparent with my fans, and this is something I wanted to share. It normalizes it," the actress said of getting injectables.

"It’s all about what makes you feel like your best self. Don’t listen to naysayers. Do what makes you feel comfortable in your own skin," they added.
