So, what you say about the clinical cutoffs is important: You might score below the cutoffs, but still experience those symptoms. Which means that according to standards, you will not be diagnosed, but which also doesn't mean that you're not experience the symptoms. The clinical cut-offs are not marking a qualitative difference (in most cases). It's more of a "absent-very-mild-mild-moderate-severe-very-severe" differentiation. They work, that's why we use them, and actually, we're more inclined to pathologize rather than normalize with these cut-offs. Saying that pretty little is considered "normal" nowadays. But that's a different story. The fact that you experience symptoms, that are, objectively in the normal range, but do bother you might have different causes. For instance, you're highly sensitive or you have high interospective awareness, easily irritable, not so good coping skills, etc. If there's a mismatch between your subjective experience and objective test results can have many other reasons aswell. Depression, sleeplessness, drugs... or just using a not However, in my opinion, the question "where do the symptoms come from" or "what is the problem" is the second to ask, and the question should be asked by an experienced clinician. The first question, which you need to ask yourself, is if you actually suffer from symptoms or if your environment suffers from you experiencing those symptoms. If yes, you need to find a solution for that. Ask your psych what she proposes as next steps: Just saying "deal with it, it's your personality" isn't good enough. If you doubt her skills, go for a second opinion. You need someone you trust and who is experienced, especially when it's all vague (and from what you describe, it's kind a vague).

I do not recommend psychoanalysis or pills (I never do, as a first step). Go look for someone who works evidence based, someone who works at university, preferably in diagnostics, clinical psychology, developmental psychopathology, but definitely with a focus on cognitive behavioural therapy.
