She expressed feeling overwhelmed by the "beauty and presence" of women in the world. This candid revelation offers a glimpse into Billie Eilish's personal experiences and reflections on her own attractions and emotions.

The singer told Variety: "I've never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people. I'm attracted to them as people. I'm attracted to them for real. I'm physically attracted to them. But I'm also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence."

The 'What Was I Made For? songstress has enjoyed huge success in the music industry since she launched her career as a teenager but also admitted that she struggles with being a woman in general as well as a woman in the public eye, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Billie added: "Being a woman is just such a war, forever. Especially being a young woman in the public eye. It's really unfair. It turns out that I'm young, and I have a whole life of s**t I can do."

"Maybe because my life became so adult very young, I forgot that I was still that young. I settled in a lot of ways: I lived my life as if I were in my 70s. I realised recently that I don't need to do that," the Grammy winner further divulged. 

The singer said: "I think at some point this last year, I realised that. I was like, 'I gotta find stuff within myself and my personal life that has nothing to do with the outside world or the internet or my status that's going to bring me that much joy'."
