I think my brother just saw me naked... what do I do?

So it's 12:30 AM. I was going to take a shower. I turn the shower on, take my clothes off, get in, realize I didn't grab a towel to hang over the door (like usual) so I get out and notice that there weren't any towels in the cupboard (where they're typically kept), so I open the bathroom door and step out. The laundry room door is right next to the bathroom door and I take a step to it (I was going to quick grab a towel since I was the only one awake). Which is when I noticed it's unusually bright for it being 12:30 and me being the only one awake and the main lights turned off. I turn around to see my younger brother (age 14) standing in the doorway of his room with the light on. He went to bed at 9:00 because of how early he needs to get up tomorrow. He immediately turned around and shut the door. But I was very much naked and now I feel super awkward. Like... do I pretend it didn't happen and never speak of it again? Do I go talk to him about it? I mean, obviously it was not my intent to be seen and it was not his intent to see anything.

  • You're family, Your mom and dad have seen each other naked they've seen you naked, they've seen your brother naked. If a brother and sister haven't seen each other naked at least once then I'll be surprised. OP it isn't a big deal unless you have some secret taboo fetish lmaoooo. And age 14? I'm pretty sure he is on the road to looking at porn lol so you have nothing he hasn't seen. Don't make it so awkward, it happens no harm is done and for fucks sake don't talk about it and don't pretend it didn't happen just go on with your daily things. However, if it really is that big of a deal make a "pact" with him.

    • He's a very naive 14 year old.

    • That's even better then! If he is THAT naive then the odds are in your favour silly! Lmao. Just don't bring it up and don't act awkward. Go on through the day, he'll probably deny he saw you at all if anything. ahhaha

  • Just don't speak to each other. I don't believe I ever saw my sister naked. I think it's best just not talk about it. He was probably just as embarrassed/disgusted as you are that he saw you naked, maybe more so. That doesn't mean you aren't attractive. It's just a family thing.

  • I always wrap a towel around myself or put something on before stepping out of the bathroom.

    Maybe he did see you.
    No , don't speak of it with him. Just move on.

    • You missed the part where there weren't towels? That's the whole point of the leaving the bathroom lol

    • You didn't have any clothes there as well? Then I simply just call someone to bring it to me while I stay behind the door.

    • Everyone was asleep. And I wasn't going to put the dry clothes I intended to sleep in on my wet self.

    • Show All
  • Just ignore it. Bringing it up will be awkward and you'll both forget about it eventually anyway :)

  • I remember doing the same thing when I though I was alone! My advice: don't bring it up!

    • True

  • Just pretend it never happened. No biggie!

    • I feel like we're both violated now lol

  • It felt like I read an excerpt of a horror/thriller, where every other sentence could be a hairpin turn into utter disaster.

    The ending left me yearning for more. How can the female protagonist overcome such a fate? Will her life ever be the same?

  • He's probably not particularly happy that he saw his sister nude, but its not going to scar him for life or anything. Don't make a big deal about it. If he says something apologize but don't bring it up yourself.

  • To be honest, it would probably be less awkward if you just casually mentioned it as a joke and then moved on opposed to avoiding each other and/or remaining silent about it.

  • "do I pretend it didn't happen and never speak of it again?"

    Works for me.

  • It's not a big deal. Don't make it into one. There's no need to have sit down talk about it because then that will make it awkward. Just go on about your life like nothing happened.

    If he comes to you to talk about it then it's ok to speak about it. But if he doesn't then don't worry about it. It's a natural reaction to want to see someone else naked, even if by accident. But it's not a big deal.

  • Have his eyes controlled in the ER. They might be burned. LOL
    Seriously: don't worry, those accidents happen in most families.

  • That's fine you are family. Don't talk to him and forget it

  • Just pretend it never happened. I guarantee he's already trying to erase that memory. You talking about it will just bring it to the forefront of his mind.

  • It is probably best to pretend it never happened.

  • Just ignore it. Pretend it never happened

    • hii manoobil. for me too the same.. but my bigger sister saw me.. do u like being nude or not

  • you'll get over it eventually, dont worry

  • just forget about it, it's no big deal to be seen nude or naked be anyone especially family

  • I could give you advice on that since I had a similar situation, but in private please

  • He will get over it, just pretend it never happen

  • He's traumatized for life now! lol

    As time passes, you'll both get over it.

  • talk to him about it. ask him how he felt
