Yungblud: Dark thoughts, social anxiety, and being disliked

Do you think it’s uncool to be excited? Artist Yungblud wants us to marvel at the world; it’s life-affirming to be properly enthusiastic about stuff.

In this chat, Fearne and Yungblud talk about why we need to be done with being cool and distant. Instead, they share how to make sure you’re not dulling yourself down or putting filters on your real character.

Yungblud wears his heart – and his pain – on his sleeve, and explains why sharing dark thoughts can be a beautiful thing. Social media, he says, has helped us be more fearless because there will always be a tribe somewhere who will accept us.

Plus, how did Yungblud change the way he plays gigs when he realised loads of his fans are socially anxious?

You Need To Exist is published by Happy Place Books, and it’s out on August 15th.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
