Earlier this week, Eilish bravely shared her struggles with reading hurtful comments about herself on social media, expressing her discomfort with the negative remarks. Reflecting on the impact of such comments, Eilish revealed the strength of her own opinions about her body, stating, "Dude, I don't even know. It's tough, man. Honestly, nobody can say anything about my body that I don't have a stronger opinion about."

The 21-year-old superstar also acknowledged the challenging nature of growing up in the era of intense online scrutiny. She said, "I also think that if I was younger, like if the internet talked about me the way they do now when I was like 11, I don't think I would be able to exist, to be honest."

While Eilish expressed a growing sense of self-acceptance and prioritized her own feelings over others', she candidly admitted that hurtful comments still have the power to affect her deeply. Eilish said, "I like myself more than I used to, and I'm more interested in how I feel than how they feel. But then also that might be a load of bulls**t because it still hurts my feelings like a son of a b***h."
