why do you say "It's complicated." instead of "It's complicating."?
I used to think the structure was the same as "It's exciting." And "I'm excited.", but they seem to be different.

Complicating is not a commonly used word. I would use "confusing" instead of "complicating".

You're right that complicate doesn't match the same structure as the word excite. I'm not sure what the exact reason for it is, though. I think it's just kind of an irregular word. English is a very complicated and confusing language sometimes! ;)
