Selena Gomez "lost sight" of who she was before she checked into rehab in January.
The 21-year-old singer secretly spent two weeks at Dawn at the Meadows treatment facility in Arizona, and she's admitted she listened too much to other people in the hope of fitting in.
During a heart-warming eight-minute speech at the We Day California event in Oakland yesterday (26.03.14), she said: "You all have pressure that you have to deal with every day - with school, with work, with friends, with parents, with family. They tell me what to wear, how to look, what I should say, how I should be.
"Until recently I had given into that pressure, I lost sight of who I was. I listened to opinions of people and I tried to change who I am because I thought others would accept me for it. And I realised I don't know how to be anything but myself."
The 'Come & Get It' hitmaker, who has been in an on/off relationship with Justin Bieber for three years, also encouraged the youngsters at the event to chase after their dreams.
She said: "I'm sure all of you have been told that you don't have what it takes and that you may not be good enough... when deep down, it's all you want to do, you want to be part of something great, you want to make something great.
"It crushes you when people try to tell you that you're not good enough."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding guest list has been revealed.
The reality TV star and her rapper fiance, who will tie the knot in May, have invited US VOGUE editor Anna Wintour to the romantic ceremony in Paris, after featuring on the controversial front cover of the magazine this month.
According to The Sun newspaper, former chat show host Oprah Winfrey, TV host Ryan Seacrest - who produces 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' - actor Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, and close friends Beyonce and Jay Z will be attending the nuptials.
The wedding will be filmed for Kim's E! reality show 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians', although Beyonce reportedly doesn't want to feature on the programme.
The wedding will be Kanye's first and Kim's third marriage, after she tied the knot when she was 20 to music producer Damon Thomas for four years and later married basketball player Kris Humphries, in 2011, a union which lasted just 72 days.
Kim, 33, and 36-year-old Kanye - who have nine-month-old daughter North together - are also said to be licensing their wedding photos for sale and most of the guests will be asked to hand over their mobile phones and sign non-disclosure agreements before the big day.
A source said: "Guests will have to go through extensive security, even most of Kim and Kanye's celebrity friends.
"Mobile devices will be held at a secure location and if someone needs to use theirs during the wedding, accommodations will be made, but a long way away from the festivities. This is all designed to discourage guests from using their phones."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin reportedly clashed over her practice of Kabbalah.
The Hollywood couple - who have two children, Apple, nine, and seven-year-old Moses - announced their separation on Tuesday (25.03.14) after working on saving their marriage for "well over a year", but it's claimed their relationship has been on the rocks for at least five years since Gwyneth began following the religion in 2009.
A source said: "Chris wasn't happy about it. He felt that he was starting to lose the woman he fell in love with."
Gwyneth and Chris began leading separate lives over the last couple of years as the 41-year-old actress became more and more enveloped in her Goop lifestyle brand and Chris, 37, began recording the latest Coldplay record.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "Chris is laid-back and low-key, and found it harder and harder to live up to her perfect standards.
"Gwyneth was focusing less on her showbiz career and more on her lifestyle projects.
"She also didn't feel like she got enough attention from Chris."
It's thought Chris even moved out of the family's £7 million home in London's Belsize Park last year and began living in Coldplay colleague Guy Berryman's small flat in Hampstead Heath, North West London.
The insider claimed: "Chris was really struggling with Gwyneth. Their relationship was under huge strain and he was doing everything he could to patch things up. But he felt he had no choice but to move out. Guy offered him a place to stay where he could hide out and deal with it all."

L'Wren Scott has left her $9 million fortune to Sir Mick Jagger.
The fashion designer - who committed suicide by hanging last week - bequeathed all of her estate, including her $8 million New York condo, to her grieving lover in her final will, which was obtained by the New York Post newspaper.
In addition to the lavish home, L'Wren has also given Mick, 70, all of her expensive jewellery, clothing and more.
She wrote in her will: "I give all my jewellery, clothing, household furniture and furnishings, personal automobiles and other tangible articles of a personal nature ... to Michael Philip Jagger."
The will was signed by the 49-year-old ex-model on May 23, 2013, in Beverly Hills, California.
L'Wren also insisted that she was "intentionally" ignoring her siblings - including sister Jane Shane, 53, who she hadn't spoken to in six years - in her will.
The news is surprising as she had made her older brother Randall Bambrough, 58, co-head of her fashion company LS Fashion Ltd. just last year.
She wrote in the will: "Except if otherwise provided in this will, I have intentionally omitted to provide herein for any of my heirs living at the date of my death."

Kings of Leon have a "brotherly code" for their fights.
The US rockers - comprising brothers Caleb, Jared and Nathan Followill and their cousin Matthew - have come to blows many times in the past but admit they always stick to strict rules so their skirmishes never get too serious.
Caleb said: "A lot of people think we're these big fighters but in the past a lot of the time we were fighting like p***ies. We weren't really duking it out.
"I don't think we've ever had a good enough fight to judge [who is the best]. Any time there's ever been a fight there's a lot of backhand slapping, spitting..."
Nathan added: "A lot of back punching. As brothers there's the rule; nothing above the neck, so we've stuck to a brotherly code of good kidney shots, smacks on the back of the head."
While they tread carefully around one another, the 'Sex on Fire' hitmakers think they could easily win in a fight against other bands.
Matthew told Q magazine: "You could name any band and I'd say we were going to win because we're confident in our fighting."
Caleb also admitted he finds it "hard" to swear in songs, particularly because he knows his parents don't approve.
Asked what their parents think of their lyrics, he said: "It took them a while. My mum loved 'Taper Jean Girl' for years, then one day she walked in and smacked me. 'Are you saying the C word?' 'Yeah, I've been saying it at every show for years.'
"Now I find it kinda hard. I can say stuff that's kind of dirty, but I try to make it more hidden than I did back then. I don't really like to hear someone who is forcing profanity. If it's cool, that's one thing, but if you hear someone saying a curse word out of the blue it's just trying."

Kanye West has an "insane" guestlist for his wedding to Kim Kardashian.
The rapper asked the brunette beauty to be his wife in front of all her loved ones at AT&T Park in San Francisco on her 33rd birthday last October and is now planning the big day, which will take place in Paris this spring.
The 36-year-old star has reportedly given his assistants a 600-strong list, which includes friends like Jay Z, Beyonce and Jamie Foxx, in addition to the likes of Oprah Winfrey, the Obamas, Lupita Nyong'o, Prince, Winnie Mandela, Karl Lagerfeld and European and Middle-Eastern royalty.
An insider told heat magazine: "The wedding is during the last weekend of Cannes Film Festival. But there's no limit to Kanye's ego - he's expecting everyone to skip Cannes. When his assistants try to explain that some people aren't going to show, he won't listen. He's going to be quite shocked when the day comes and half the names aren't there."
Kim has been the voice of reason and wants to more intimate ceremony.
A source added: "Kim has told him to be realistic. She thinks it's odd to have strangers there. She wants it intimate - just family and close friends. She's invited Nicole Richie, Ciara, Blac Chyna, Tyga and Lindsay Lohan."

Carmen Electra is dating clothing mogul Tal Cooperman.
The 41-year-old actress, who enjoyed a brief romance with Simon Cowell last year, admits she is "really happy" with her 30-year-old new boyfriend after being introduced by mutual friends three months ago.
The former 'Baywatch' beauty told E! News: "We are taking it slow and really trying to get to know each other, but so far we are really happy! He's gorgeous and a lot of fun."
A source close to the couple also revealed: "They met about three months ago when a mutual friend introduced them. They hit it off right away.
"The age difference doesn't bother either of them, it doesn't matter. Tal's a mature guy."
A second insider said: "Tal is happy as hell."
Carmen, who was previously married to Dennis Rodman and Dave Navarro, split from her rocker fiancé Rob Patterson in October 2012.
The model recently revealed that she feels "sexier" than ever.
She said: "I feel more comfortable now. Less nervous. I feel like I'm in a really good place in my life and just being in that space makes you feel sexier.
"The secret to being sexy starts on the inside first. I think it's all about embracing yourself. I love being on shoots because you can get into the fantasy of it all. I love getting into new outfits too, stuff I wouldn't normally wear."
