Do I have a complex?!


Question: Do I have a complex!?
I'm a 15 year old girl!. I've been diagnosed with ADHD and anger management but they're both well treated with medication!. I take sleeping pills too but I take them because my ADHD meds keep me up!.

I'm not worried about that, but i have a couple of weird personality things and I don't know if they're entirely normal!.

1!. I think I'm a narcissist!. I check myself out in the mirror a lot and whenever I'm in the passenger seat of a car I automatically start looking in the mirror!. But I think that's because I was sort of an ugly duckling!. I was hideous when I was younger and everyone thought I was butch!. Now I'm actually pretty hot (this is from other people telling me that I am)!. I'm not really cocky or snobby with other people though!.

2!. minor paranoia/insecurity!?!. sometimes, in certain places (even if i'm really comfortable and I have close friends there) I convince myself that there's something wrong with the way i look (embarrassing stain or something) and that everyone is staringWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
These are normal behaviors for teenagers!. You're learning about your body and becoming more aware of yourself and your surroundings now that you're not little any more!. So it would make sense that you're wondering what other people are thinking about you!. Young people always think people are looking at them, either checking them out, or whatever!. All teens look for affirmation in the opinions of their peers!. It takes time and maturity to learn that your self esteem is dependent on the things you DO and the way you feel about yourself!. I used to be an 'ugly duckling' too and then one day I looked at myself and said 'damn, i look goood!.' I stared at myself in the mirror constantly throughout my teenage years!. I eventually got sick of myself and broke the habit:) Don't sweat it, you're as 'normal' as everyone else is!.

To continue, emotions and feelings are more important to teenagers than using logic and reason!. I always played out worse case scenarios in my head, still do sometimes (I'm 29), because I'm trying to figure out how I would feel if that thing happened and how will I be prepared!. Not that you are unreasonable, but you've only just discovered all these feelings and emotions and you will spend the next few years exploring them before you get a good idea about the way you feel about things!. Then you just stop thinking about those kinds of things so much!. You're well prepared for growing up since you are so self aware!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
