Five Celebrities Who Share Mental Health Issues

It takes a lot of confidence to be a performer. There are quite a few famous folks we see on the covers of magazines every day who are constantly facing their own personal struggles, like coping with social anxiety. So what's it like to live with social anxiety when you can’t be anonymous? Five celebs have spoken out publicly about social anxiety and how it affects their lives. Olivia Munn pulls out her own eyelashes when she's nervous, and Jennifer Lawrence says she's never really comfortable unless she's acting. Barbra Streisand once forgot the words to a song onstage and because of it, she didn't charge people for her performances for 27 years. She now sings with a teleprompter, just to make sure it doesn't happen again. Adele gets so nervous that at times she's projectile vomited onto audience members. And Britney Spears says she's basically a shy, modest woman who simply assumes her alter ego while she's onstage to get through her gigs.
