Shawn Mendes is "the most nervous guy".
The ‘In My Blood’ hitmaker admits he is really nervous around people and when on stage but thinks it is best to be that way as it means he really "cares".
Speaking at An Evening With Shawn Mendes at The GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, he said: "Now I’m 20, and everybody who was 15 listening to me back then is now 20. And they have grown up, too. I’m not afraid of [losing my audience]. I’m not afraid of becoming more mature … How do we make it sound like I’m the most confident dude ever, but the message is the absolute opposite? [In reality,] I’m the most nervous guy. Really, what I started to realise is that when you get nervous around people, when you get nervous on stage, it genuinely means you care. And the second you stop getting nervous is maybe when there’s a problem, you know? So, I really take nerves to heart. Nerves mean that there’s something inside thinking like you need to care about this."
Meanwhile, Shawn previously insisted he isn’t "supposed" to be with anyone right now.
He said: "I’m not currently dating anyone, but it’s not because I don’t have time – I don’t know if I’d be dating anyone if I was home in Pickering, either. It hasn’t stumbled across me, and I’m not chasing it. Of course, seeing all those other artists and people in relationships, you think, ‘Maybe it would be nice; who would be great for me?’ And that’s when you realise, ‘This is wrong. Let it be. I’m not supposed to be with anyone right now.’"
