Shawn Mendes says a big fight between him and Camila Cabello almost made him realize his biggest fear.

While speaking on the Man Enough podcast, Shawn revealed the moment that he felt he was "being evil" in his relationship with Camila.

"I raised my voice at her and she was like, 'I don't like it when you raise your voice. Why did you raise your voice?' And I got so defensive," he said. "I was like, 'I wasn't raising my voice at you!' And I did raise my voice at her. And I felt her shrink and I felt me grow and I was like, 'Oh god, this is the worst.' I'm so terrified of being evil. I'm so scared to be bad."

Luckily, the two were able to have "this massive conversation" to talk about what had just happened and his fear of being looked at negatively.

"Maybe there even is bad inside of me, and I have to just accept that," he continued. "And that other part of me, he's just got to be here and we've just got to work together until eventually he gets worked in all of the trauma and all of the kinks get rubbed out of him and he's OK. But I can't avoid the fact that there's a little bit of darkness inside of me and letting that darkness kind of be present is a horrible feeling."

Shawn also noted that during the conversation, she comforted him while they figured things out together.

"I made it about my evil and my fear, and she comforted me," he said. "And then it took me like 20 minutes of us separately reading our books to be able to come back to her and be like, 'God, that was a whole thing and I'm really sorry.'"
