split personality?

As far as I know I am a fairly normal 'sane' person. I have my ups and downs and sometimes a bit extreme but never been diagnosed with anything and usually problems are because of actions than just being random mood.

One thing though is I seem to have a split personality and I clearly remember the first time someone made a comment when I was around age 14 and I got agitated and sort of control freakish about some group project at school and one classmate turned to me later completely surprised saying they did not know that I was that kind of person at all - my main personality around that age was quiet, shy, repressed.. I suppose.

I've always been mostly an introvert though. I'm mid 30s now so obviously I've lived long enough to know this about myself. There is another side though that comes out occasionally and it's attention-seeking, wants to be seen as clever, a bit arrogant even. Usually this only emerges when I've had a lot to drink, but it's there underneath too and even without alcohol sometimes I feel 'superior' in some way.
But the rest of the time I feel like the complete opposite - a piece of **** and completely inferior and unworthy etc.

I'm just looking for some thoughts or to have a discussion, I don't have any answers or anything but maybe someone knows what I mean or can offer a perspective?
