please help me... i'm confused...?

okay, so i'm 15 years old, and i still eat the same foods i did when i was four.

I can't really tell you the last thing i added to my diet, because i can't remember. i eat pizza, but only from certain places and it has to look and smell a certain way for me to even consider trying it. i love bread, but it has to be white bread, and if it's a roll it can't have any spice or flavoring (so it can't be anything like garlic bread or sour dough, or even have butter on it). i like grilled cheese and mozzarella sticks, but the thought of plain cheese makes me sick. i like french fries and pasta, and certain vegetables. i prefer raw veggies but any ones other then the ones ive eaten since i was a toddler i won't even try.

i'm relatively comfortable with desserts, but the can't have a fruit filling or anything really fancy.

meats are the worst. the only time i will ever eat meat is if it is a thin hamburger from mcdonalds, like the ones in the happy meals, and i usually don't eat the bread if it has onions or pickles or pretty much anything but ketchup and a tiny bit of mustard, even if i take them off. i don't eat any other meat. i used to eat chicken nuggets, but not anymore. i tried plain chicken once, but when my mom made the exact same dish and put it in front of me for dinner, i got nervous and didn't eat it.

i hate trying new foods. hate it. sometimes i can get past the first bite, but if i try to take a second i gag. sometimes, i'll get a food at a resturaunt (like a grilled cheese) and the chefs make it fancy with different cheeses mixed together or weird bread, i wont eat it. i gag. my family just scoffs and says i'm being too over dramatic, they try to force me to eat it, but i would rather just not eat. sometimes, the food will be tolerable, but i still gag and can't eat it.

when i'm faced with a food that i'm not used to, i get disgusted by it, and when i go to try it, i'll get nervous, and if i'm determined to force myself to eat it, it could take me all day to build up the courage to take a small bite.

it gets really awkward when you're in a social situation where you're expected to eat whats there, and theres no food that you'll eat. i've skipped dinner at weddings, school dances, sleepovers, and i had to make up an excuse why i couldn't go to dinner on a date. i hate that my family can't eat at all the resturaunts they want to because of me, they all get annoyed with me and make fun of me about it. i hate how i can never go on vacation with my friends because i won't be able to find foods i like, and even if i did the things i would be eating would be childish and embarassing. my friend really wanted me to go to the cape with her, and i wanted to go too, but the fear of not being able to find something i like to eat, and embarrassing myself and being a pain kept me from going.

heard about a mental disorder called food neophobia, and found people talking about what it's like with it, and i was sooooo happy i nearly cried, because it made me feel like i wasn't the only one who reacted to food like this. i showed an article to my mom, and she just laughed and told me i was overreacting and said it was ridiculous. she says i'm just a picky eater. she won't believe me when i tell her about these things, she just thinks im being a spaz about it.

am i normal? am i really just being overdramatic? and how can i get rid of this?

im sorry this is so long... i just needed to vent and just be able to hopefully have someone who will give me an opinion on my situation, thanks.
