And sometimes you don't want to take a photo with someone, sometimes you don't want to have a conversation with someone and that's not about being mean, that's about being human.''And that's the biggest thing that I struggle with — that sometimes people need something from me that I don't have to give and I pretend sometimes that I am okay when I'm not. It makes me feel like I'm going mad and so I wrote this song called You Don't Really Know Me.''
