If you see Justin Bieber out in the wild, do not ask him for a photo. His latest Instagram is a note begging fans for a small shred of privacy.  

"It has gotten to the point that people won't even say hi to me or recognize me as human," he wrote. "I feel like a zoo animal and I wanna be able to keep my sanity."

For whatever reason, he deleted the initial post and reshared an updated version with a time stamp. 

This comes shortly after Biebs canceled fan meet and greets because he was "feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy."

The meet and greets cost $2,000, by the way, and fans had to forgo their Purpose Tour tickets entirely in order to claim a refund.
