Shawn Mendes is taking a break from social media…at least his direct access to it.

During a fan Q and A in Atlanta this week, Mendes said if he wants to put something up on Twitter or Instagram, he sends it to his manager.

Mendes explained, “I struggle with social media a lot too. To be honest with you guys, I deleted Instagram and Twitter three days ago, but I send my manager pictures and I’m like, ‘Can you post this?’”

He continued, “Sometimes I need to take a break from it too because it gets to me just as much as it gets to anyone else. You have to take care of yourself, it’s really really important. Make yourself come first.”
