Is it normal if what i wear affects how i am that day?

I don't get it and I don't like it either. My mood and my personality depends on what I'm wearing. It could be very simple, too. I could be wearing a gray, lose v neck and I feel like a little girl as opposed to gray tank top. If I was wearing a tank top, I'd feel more mature. Or even the color. If it was a gray tank top versus a royal blue tank top, I'd probably feel more mature in the gray one. It's so weird. Literally what I wear consumes me. I hate it. It impacts the rest of my day and plus I have social anxiety and paranoia, so it doesn't help. I have to really think through not only what looks good but what is going to make me feel that certain way. Sometimes I feel like I come out as "fake" because my personality does change depending on what I'm wearing. Why can I just be myself? If I was planning to feel more mellow but what I was wearing made me feel like a whore or something, I'd just be awkward throughout the whole day with the pressure of conforming to a whore when I just want to portray myself as mellow. Is this normal? I know what you wear does affect how you are/act that day, but I feel like this is on a whole other level.

    I'm now so very curious what you're like with no clothes on, in a way I've never been curious before

    Ugh I feel your pain, I always pick apart what I'm wearing. Like if I'm not wearing the right underwear and I think it's visible through my pants, I point it out before anyone else can and then I focus on that one detail about my outfit.

    It's horrible shopping and trying to get ready like I'm never satisfied with what I'm wearing.
