Ariana Grande is at the top of her game and shinning bright in young Hollywood however, many don't know that "The Way" singer was in an "unhealthy" relationship and has since vowed to never let a boy affect her confidence again. The 20-year-old has made it her mission to make sure doesn't allow a guy to change her personality.

According to Contact Music, the "Baby I" songstress admitted she used to be in a difficult relationship prior to dating The Wanted's Nathan Sykes.

The "Almost is Never Enough" couple split amicably in December and apparently the break up made the young star lose all her confidence but she has promised herself to never be dependent on a man again.

During her interview with Teen Vogue magazine she explained her troubled romance. She said, "I was dating a boy who made me a different person.

"And my family was like, 'You've lost your light, you are constantly distracted.' If I waited too long to text him back, it was the end of the world. And it was just a very unhealthy relationship."

The "Right There" singer also confessed that the harsh remarks of haters online have also affected her confidence and it has since taught her to avoid the internet and ignore hurtful comments when she's going through a tough time in life.

Ariana Grande said, "I'm a lot shier than people think. I don't go online when I'm dealing with s**t. This is a very amazing time in my life, but also the most stressful. I'm adjusting and learning ...

"For a very long time, it affected me. And I was like, 'But they don't know the story! Or, 'But they don't know me!' And my friends were like, 'That's the thing, they don't know you and they never will. You can't let a 12 year old in Minnesota ruin your day.'"
