Her struggle to be perfect resulted in not only anorexia, but also self-harm. She explained, “It was about wanting to please my father and mother and wanting to be perfect to everybody. I just thought if I ever expressed [to my parents] any sadness or anger or anything that’s going on with me, they would disown me. I kept a lot of it bottled up inside, and it turned into self-destructive behavior,” she said.“I felt this sadness, and I thought if people really knew what was going on inside me, they wouldn’t want to hang out with me. So I tried to keep it light and funny. I became imprisoned [by my eating disorder and self-harm]. And it was something I fought with.”BEVERLY HILLS, CA - JUNE 10: Troian Bellisario attends The Paley Center For Media Presents An Evening With 'Pretty Little Liars' at The Paley Center for Media on June 10, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California.
