My brother caught me doing something "intimate"
Alright, this is gonna be long and it's embarrassing to me, so please, don't judge.
Three days ago I thought I was home alone because my parents are out in a business trip and my brother is never home before 1 or 2 am, so I felt it was safe and I started to "please myself".
Yes, I know this is wrong and I feel so bad about it, but c'mon, I'm seventeen already and I practice chastity, so I never actually do something besides that. I don't even do it that often! I just wanted to let go off some pent up frustrations! But I'm not here to justify myself, I just need help with this and I need people to be understandable!
Well, I was touching myself in my room, but my brother, out of nowhere, bursted into my room. I quickly took my hands out of my shorts, but he obviously saw it.
The distressing part is that he didn't leave, he just stood there with that stupid smug look on his face after he said "sorry" with such a ***damn sarcasm!
I had to actually scream at him to get out of my room, which thanks God he did.
It's been three days already but I can't rest and I feel so bothered the whole time. I feel like I have been violated! It was my privacy! He didn't knock or anything!
And he started to actually tease me and make me feel even worse about everything.
The next day I was trying my best to pretend that the incident the night before had never happened and I thought he would do the same, but when I was making popcorn, he had the nerve to ask me if I needed an "extra hand"!
Am I being paranoid? Because I really believe he's actually trying to torment me!
He couldn't be actually trying to offer me help to make popcorn.
After that, when I got out of the shower he rushed out of his room only to ask me if I was having fun in there and if I needed some "help".
I mean... Seriously? How can he joke about these things?!
Yesterday he brought his stupid friends home (on purpose maybe?) and they were all in the kitchen when I went there, so I even gave up on the idea of cooking something for myself and when I was leaving the kitchen, my brother said "sis, lemme know if you gonna have a little fun again tonight".
I couldn't believe he had said that! But he did! And it was out of the blue!
He humiliated me in front of those stupid disgusting friends of him for NO reason! I can't react! I want to, but I feel powerless and I don't have the guts to stand up to him! I wanted to hurt him so bad, but when I heared them laughing at me, I just felt like crying, so I left without saying anything.
He's being outrageous and disgusting! I want to hate him so much, but I can't! I know he's not like that! I just don't know what's gotten into him!
Why is he doing that to me? Why is he saying those horrible things to me? He has never been mean to me. He's actually very loving and he has always been one of those cool "big bros" that helps you with whatever you need, but since that night everything changed. I can't look at his face and when I do all I see is a monster.
What if he tells our parents? What if he told his friends about it?
I don't want him to tell my parents. I don't want them to look down at me.
Shouldn't he be mature and understandable? Why is he acting like a stupid teen/child? Is he trying to punish me or something?
I'm starting to feel scared and I don't know why. Everywhere I go I feel like he's gonna pop out of nowhere or that he's watching me!
I'm starting to freak out! And maybe that's what he's trying to do! Maybe he's trying to mess with my head, to drive me crazy because all of a sudden he hates me for no reason!
I can't and I don't want to tell anyone about that and unfortunately my parents won't be home soon, so I have to endure him around me and I don't know what to do! Whenever he comes near me I swear I feel sick, like I'm going to throw up!
I wish I could talk to him, but at the same time I don't want to! I don't know what he'll say or how he'll react!
I can't feel comfortable in my own house!
He's not home now, so I feel so much more safe and comfortable! I just wish he could spend all the nights out because I'm starting to feel suffocated whenever he comes home! My parents practically gave him power over me while they are gone, so if I wanted to sleep in a friends house (which I do) for some days I would have to ask him, but I don't know if he would allow me (maybe to keep torturing me?) or if he would be mean to me, but I really do want to be away from him... At least for now.
Have anyone been in a similar situation? Why he's been acting like that? What should I do besides wait for my parents to come home and hope he'll eventually let go of it? Is his reaction normal? Is he mad at me because of what I was doing? Am I overreacting?
