growing distant from dads
15/f. is it normal for a teenage girl to grow further away from her dad, and to begin seeing him not as a father, but as a "man"? I just get really weird feelings around him. Like, I can't be in open clothes around him or something. It's awkward. I know he won't do anything, but I'm just paranoid..?

Ha, I'm 15 (16 in 2 months)... and that's pretty much how I feel: "Like, I can't be in open clothes around him or something. It's awkward. I know he won't do anything, but I'm just paranoid..?"
So... I think it's normal. Lol.

Its relatively normal.
We're hardwired to reject and feel alkward around our parents. Its what starts a long, drawn out, tear filled period that ends with you moving out.
Most people have a kind of personal bubble too. You learn its there by watching other people who have bubbles, and you kind of develop yours. And certain things intrude on your bubble and make you uncomfortable.
Your dad seeing you less than dressed is a normal thing to intrude on your personal comfort zone.

your starting to realize your dad isnt perfect and he really isnt all that great, and all those sexy guys your dating are so much cooler.
It also might feel akward because admit it your all hormonal sometimes, and that freaks guys out yes even your dad, he still loves you its just hard your growing up and both of you are trying to figure out who you are.
It's all normal to feel 'paranoid' around him your growing up, its just different now i dont really know why we feel that way but its just the way it is with me anyway with any guy that is older.

There is nothing wrong with you. It is just called growing up. It isn't that you are growing away from him, but that you are no longer seeing him as "dad the invincible, immortal superhero" as you once saw him.
One day you just wake up and realize your parents are people just like the man and woman next door are people.
Don't worry. I'm sure that he would find it equally as awkward as you do if you were to walk about the house with your shirt hanging open or something of that nature.
