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?

    if he's typically been a nice loving brother until now then it probably means that he doesn't realize just how bad this is upsetting you. he probably thinks its just an minor annoyance that he can pick at, if he really is a nice loving brother than he'll probably stop if you tell him how much it upsets you.

    my advise is to talk to him

    btw a word of warning there will be some others who i'm sure will try to help you like me, but with a story like this your comment section is about to get flooded with trolls posting stuff like, he wants to fuck you or screw him. get ready to start sorting through the trolls

      Thank you so much!
      I'll try to find the courage to talk to him, but I feel so embarassed.
      Well I'm new to this website and I don't really know how it works, but is there a way of deleting troll's comments or something?
      Right now I really don't wish to read anything that might blacken my judgment.

        on the comment it'll say hide in the lower left corner, just click that to make it disappear.

        btw is your user name the name of an anime, or do I have that confused with something else?

      The more I read on this post, the more I'm convinced it's a troll. I won't say why because I don't want to help them perfect their technique.

        How can you deny me troll insight? I do hope you're right, my gorilla friend.

          A big give away is that people feeling shame and humiliation wouldn't put up their name and photo along with their oh-so-embarrassing story on the interwebs.

          Like "My privacy was violated and by the way, here's what I look like and my first and last name in case you're interested".

          Plus it just doesn't sound like many 17 year old females in 2016.

    He's zeroing in on your embarrassment to humiliate you. If you can keep telling yourself you were doing nothing wrong, that he was rude and disrespectful to enter your bedroom without knocking and just look him in the eye and say "So what?" he'll eventually stop this bullying.

    He's acting like that because he can and because he's getting a response from you.

    If I were you I'd stay at your friend's house as often as possible until your parents return and if he objects or says he'll tell on you, respond that if he does you'll tell your parents why you didn't feel safe at home.

    MR.mr is right - ignore the stupid suggestions you'll get from trolls and keep yourself safe

      Thank you!
      I wanted to talk to him, but I don't believe I'll be brave enough, so I might call my parents and see if they allow me to sleep at my friend's house.
      I hadn't considered telling my parents about how his is tormenting me because he has so much problem with them already, but if this torture keeps on... I'll have to talk to them.
      Again... Thank you for your advise!

        I hope it all works out OK for you: sounds like there's a good reason he's often in trouble with your parents if he's so disrespectful of others

    There are two types of people: Those who can take things seriously or those who always needs to make things a joke (like Chandler from Friends). Maybe he just doesn't know how to handle the situation. If his true intentions are to humiliate you, then to hell with him. What can he do, tell your parents? With a brother like that, you probably have some dirt on him as well.

    It's not right. I believe that there is not way that he doesn't see how this is harming you. I would not put up this shit with my brother, and neither should you.
    I bet he jacks off every day.

    While I also believe this is a troll story, I'm going to answer it as though it's real (as I usually do) - in case someone else in a similar situation who is too embarrassed to actually ask a question can take something from my advice.

    Firstly, masterbation is perfectly natural. Yes, some more extreme religious views will say it's evil, but all scientific evidence (including evidence of masterbation within other species) points to the fact it's perfectly normal.

    While some people (especially on this site) will actually ridicule you for remaining celibate, I personally regard it as a matter of your choice. Given the fact that celibacy is seen by modern society as "a little old fashioned" or even "strange", give yourself credit for adhering to your beliefs.

    Now, your brother was totally wrong for bursting in on you without knocking. It was a gross invasion of your privacy. He needs to understand that he is the one that is in the wrong here. Your first recource is to talk to him directly. I understand that this may be very "awkward" and embarrassing for you, but he needs to understand how his poor behaviour is affecting you, how it is making you feel.

    Hopefully, assuming he is the caring brother you claim, he will realise he is in the wrong, and stop tormenting you about it. If not, then you will need to speak to your parents - or under the circumstances at least your mother. This will probably be even harder and feel even more embarrassing, however I hope that your parents love and respect you, and understand that (even if they personally feel masterbation is sinful or something) your brother's breach of your personal privacy and subsequent actions are potentially very harmful to your self esteem and wellbeing.

    Hopefully, this will aleviate the problems you are now experiencing.

    The only way to make this go away is to not feel shame! You need to say to him get over it. You did nothing wrong at all. You should say I was doing a very natural thing and your so sorry he doesn't have the maturaty to deal with his emberresment he created when barging into your room. the only way to make this go away is to not be ashamed, face it head on and tell him to get over it. Good luck!

    You can write a letter to your brother telling him the truth that you are harassing me and not acting like a good brother you used to be.

    Your brother wants to watch you and, more likely, help you. Why do you think he keeps offering to give you a hand and ask if you are doing it soon? Either let him or tell him to cut the shit. It is that simple.

  • You're not doing anything that your brother isn't already doing. And he really didn't see you do anything other than have your hand down your pants. Either do in when he's not around, or just take off your panties, spread your legs and invite him to watch or join in.

    Well first of all, it is healthy for a seventeen year old girl to blow off frustration by massaging her clit. Orgasms are good. What is not good is thinking it is "wrong". Shame can be debilitating. Do continue to frig off on a regular basis and try to feel good about it.

    Secondly, get a lock for your bedroom door if you can. Or, at least put a chair under the door knob. Barging in on you was wrong. And he owes you a sincere apology.

    After your parents get back let us know how the situation develops. And, take good care of your own sexuality. That's what the rest of us do. Hell, I jerk off everyday.

    Don't take it so seriously! It's normal. Big deal. As if your brother doesn't do it himself. Tell him to grow up or you'll post a video of him doing it. Buy a lock for your door gf! A girl has to get herself a good lock!!!! You got lucky it could have been worse! :)

    First, "touching yourself" is completely NORMAL, regardless of what he may think.

    Try talking to him, and tell him to grow up, amd that if you caught him in a similar scenario, you would act differently...

    My brother busted in on me when I was about your age, but I'm also a male, it was super awkward at first but we pretty much just laughed it off minutes later. How much older is he? Any reasonably mature adult would understand if you confronted him.

      Yes, he surely is having the time of his life laughing at me because of that, but I can't really find it funny. I feel embarrassed and I believe he is being very inappropriate.
      He's nineteen. He's grown enough to be reasonable and mature, but after his actions I don't really have the courage to talk to him. But I still want to. I suppose I just need to be brave and engage in a conversation with him about his behavior...
      By the way, thank you...
