"If you're comfortable with your sexuality why should you care?"

This is how actor-singer Xian Lim reacted when his sexuality came into question recently.

Xian believes that actors, at one point in time, were called out for their gender preference.

"So I think coming in as a leading man or as an actor, medyo in-expect ko na matatawag kaming lahat na bakla," he  said.
In the video, where Xian reacted to "mean tweets" towards him, he also defended himself over the comment that he's arrogant.

"Many people say that but I guess it's just my face. I think it's just my face that gives that impression that I'm arrogant, or my aura. I mean I rarely go out kasi I'm an introvert person, so baka 'yun 'yung nagbibigay impression na hindi ako namamansin."

The 31-year-old actor who is also the boyfriend of actress Kim Chiu belied reports that he's "unprofessional" and "ungentleman."

In terms of naysayers attacking his acting skills, Xian said he can't really please everyone, as well as pointing out that art is "subjective."

"So bahala ka sa buhay mo. Eh 'di 'wag kang manuod!," he said in jest.

The hunk star then reminded audiences to refrain from judging them, celebrities, just based on what they hear from different rumors.

"'Di ba sabi nga nila if you don't know my phone number, you don't know how to confront me, you don't know how to ask me any personal question or whatever, hindi tayo close. So ibig sabihin 'pag hindi tayo close, medyo wala kayo sa boundaries na husgahan ako. Kung ano 'yung napapanuod ninyo sa TV, kung ano 'yung sinasabi ng news, kung ano 'yung sinasabi ng write up maybe give it the benefit of the doubt na maybe hindi siya totoo, maybe totoo siya pero hindi ako kung ano 'yung iniisip niyo."

Then Xian went on to give advice to those people who easily get affected by online bashing.

The first one is to stop reading the harsh and baseless comments, which he pointed gives no point.

He noted how nowadays anyone has so much access to freedom of speech that's why it's often abused as they can say anything they want.

Xian also reminded his fans or followers to do not take things seriously.

"It's easier said than done pero parang kung papakinggan mo lahat ng mga sinasabi sayo ng mga bata, parang you're better than that. You're worth more than the comment they are saying about you," he noted. "The mere fact na may sinasabi sila tungkol sayo maybe you're doing something right, maybe naiinggit sila sayo. There are so many factors why they're saying stuff about you. Don't take that too seriously. Your life is worth so much more than these petty little comments."

Then Xian ended his clip by sharing the quote of Eleanor Calder, who says: "If you have a problem with me, call me. If you don't have my number then that means you don't know me well enough to have a problem."

Xian shared that the best way to keep your mental health fit is by surrounding yourself with positivity and taking out toxicity in your life. He suggested that one should do social media cleaning for a week or two, attesting that indeed "helps" during this digital world that people nowadays easily get affected by so many things.

"Don't get affected. You're okay! You're doing okay! And you're gonna be fine!"
