Harry Styles opened up about the isolation he felt while in One Direction and credited his bandmates for helping him through it.
The musician sat down with Zane Lowe in an Apple Music interview to talk about his upcoming album, his growing acting career and everything in between.
Describing his experience of being in One Direction from its conception in 2010 on X Factor to its end in 2015, Harry said, "It's impossible to not, at times, feel like, 'Oh, everyone else is on the other side of the glass, and I'm on this side of the glass, and no one really gets it.'"
Despite feeling isolated, Harry credits his bandmates for always being there for him.
"I look at people who kind of went through some version of what we went through but on their own. I'm like, I can't imagine having done that. I feel really lucky that we always had each other to be this unit that felt like you could keep each other in check, and you could just have someone else who gets it."
Styles also touched on the respect and love he has for his One Direction bandmates – Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan – even still, seven years after they disbanded.
"I think there is very much a respect between all of us, like, if we did something together," he said. "And that is something that you can't really undo. And you know, it's like a very deep love for each other, I think."
The 28-year-old also explained that he felt like he "emotionally coasted" while in the band.
However, he credits his time in therapy with helping him "open a bunch of doors" in his mind. The more doors he opened, the harder it got to emotionally coast because "the room exists and the scale has just widened."
