In the interview, the 24-year-old reveals he is always “trying to work through” issues whenever he presents himself to the media:
“I always feel like I’m trying to work through whatever certain issues are around certain subjects. For me personally, it comes from a place of not wanting to come across as an over-arrogant person that takes themselves too seriously… I’m not always trying to be pretentious or say something that is going to change the world, I feel like I’m one voice among millions.”
The Pillowtalk singer also discusses his introverted personality, and how he feels uncomfortable around large groups of people.
“I’m not a very outgoing social person like in terms of a big group of people. You know when we’re getting ready to put the second album out, people are going to start seeing me a bit more. I’m exciting for what people will think and I think it’s been a year since I properly showed my face and stuff.”
Last year, Malik had to cancel his appearance at the Capital Summertime Ball because of “the worst anxiety of my career.”
