Selena Gomez says she chooses to be friends with ‘levelheaded people’: ‘Girls are mean’

Selena Gomez has revealed that she develops close friendships with “levelheaded people.”

The “Love On” singer, 31, admitted that the people she’s closest to don’t “give two f–ks” about her level of stardom.

“It’s a cliché, but girls are mean,” Gomez told Time. “It’s a very weird competition, being in the cool girls area — and then I’m just kind of like, there. I don’t know where I’m meant to belong.”

The “Only Murders in the Building” actress revealed that her closest friends include a casting director, a producer and real estate agent.

“I love having levelheaded people around that couldn’t give two f–ks about what I do,” she added.

Gomez also briefly touched on loneliness, admitting that it’s “hard” to go through it.

“You could be in a crowd of people and still feel alone. I still deal with that,” she said, adding that the feeling of heartbreak is often something she finds herself dealing with.

“You can distract yourself and you can deny and deny all you want, but it’ll still be there,” she said. “I just allow myself to have those days,” she said.

Elsewhere, Gomez revealed that she had already been planning her path to motherhood before getting into a relationship with Benny Blanco.

The “Same Old Love” singer revealed that she had made plans to adopt a baby at 35 when she was single.

“I was alone for five years and I got really used to it,” she told the outlet. “A lot of people are afraid of being alone and I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it.”

Gomez said she “came up with my plan,” which was for her to adopt at 35 if she “had not met anyone.”

Once Gomez’s romance with the music producer, 36, became serious, her plans changed.

“It just happens when you least expect it,” she shared.

Gomez said her new beau, whom she began dating in 2023, has tuned out the “noise” when it comes to “hurtful” things people, including her own fans, say about her.

“I know what people can do to people I love. My own fans, who I adore and feel like have shaped who I am, will say the most hurtful things to me about how I live my life. But he has the strength in him that none of that noise fazes him,” she told the magazine.

“It’s really impressive, and I just cherish every moment with him. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
