New York, New York - Selena Gomez got candid about struggling to fit in with the "cool girls" as she revealed why she chooses to be selective about her inner circle of friends.

The 31-year-old star graced the cover of TIME last week to dish on her billion-dollar beauty brand, Rare Beauty.

During the chat, Selena shared a few insights into her personal life, including a surprising confession about her closest gal pals.

"It’s a cliché, but girls are mean," she told the outlet. 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."

Though she's known for her friendships with A-listers like Taylor Swift, Selena admitted that the majority of her friends are more "levelheaded people" who are not in the limelight.

Selena told the magazine that her best friends include "a real estate agent, a producer, and a casting director," adding that she loves that they "couldn’t give two f**ks" about her high-profile career.

Despite her associations with some fellow superstars like Taylor, it's become clear that the former Disney darling prefers to do things her way.

Selena recently was at the center of rumors that she and another of the 34-year-old Karma singer's close friends, Blake Lively, were feuding, but as it turns out, Selena just prefers to stick to quieter scenes.
