SINGER Shakira says she’s learning to forgive herself.

The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker has been in therapy for a number of years and has learned that humans need to cut themselves some slack and stop judging each other.

“I have understood that no human being should be judged,” she told Britain’s You magazine when asked about her time on the sofa.

“I now understand how vulnerable we are, and that we should all cut ourselves some slack. I like to have a map of my psyche, it means I am closer to forgiving myself, I am more free. Freedom is happiness.”

“I am romantic,” Shakira said when asked to describe herself. “I am shy.”

The Colombian superstar, 32, recently revealed that she’s helping save the world’s economies by going shopping.

“I do like to enjoy things any normal girl my age enjoys: I jog in the park, watch really bad movies,” she said. “I used to feel guilty — I am a Catholic girl after all — but today, the way I see it, shopping keeps the world rolling. A world where people don’t consume? The economy gets worse.”
