Brother saw me naked and now it's awkward?

[Alexisnolastname]

So to start off I'm 15 and my bother is 22, earlier I was taking a long shower, once I got out my brother came back and he didn't know I took a shower and went into the bathroom while I was still in there and saw me, so of course I yelled at him and covered up and he ran out, after I got my clothes back on I was gonna go out there and apologize for yelling because he didn't know I was in there but I backed out last second because it was awkward. What do I do, should I talk to him and apologize or not? He saw me naked which makes me feel really weird

That moment when you dont know how to stop people from replying and then you log in with 30 notifications ;-;
Also since half the people said to leave it and the other half said to apologize, it wasn't 100% 50/50 and I didn't do the math, I just tried to remember and more said to leave now that I think of it but I still felt horrible so I decided to quickly apologize and ask him to knock from now on and now I will never bring this up again.

it sounds like it was an honest mistake. Yes, get over that "weird" feeling and just go apologize to him. It doesn't have to be a big apology or explanation either, a simple apology and that you were so caught off guard you overreacted. Then... never speak of it again. Act like it never happened and go on like normal (you act no different around him). I mean, really, it's not a big deal, he might have accidentally seen something for a split second. I say might, because it probably happened so fast that he probably didn't see much? But even if he did, the world isn't going to end. Time to act like adults.

That's what I wanna do but I'm to awkward

[Opinion Owner]

Just be brave and do it, like ripping off a band-aid. I get that it's awkward but you'll feel better when you do. Just say, "hey, I'm sorry about that reaction, I overreacted, are we cool?" Something like that.

[Alexisnolastname]

For me that's still difficult, I can try but I will fail half way through, I still want to try but I still don't know

[Opinion Owner]

If it helps, it will be much more awkward for you likely than him. In other words, if you don't make this a "thing", he won't and will move past it quickly likely.

Ok so you lied about your gag age. Ok putting that aside, not apologising about it or even talking about it makes it way more awkward. The reason people get so awkward about things is because they are insecure. It sounds to me like him seeing your body makes you feel insecure. But if he doesn't "think like that" then why does it make you feel so awkward? If you 100% knew he doesn't care, then you would just brush it off as nothing. If I was you I would apologise and then forget about it. It's no big deal.

[Nik1hil]

She lied about her age
That's the first thing even I picked

[lord_chilled]

are you a single child?
having your siblings see you naked is weird, its not about body image.

[Z-100]

@lord_chilled both my brother and parents have seen me naked so many times during the length of my life, I've lost count. Of course I don't just show full nudity and I cover myself when I can but if they get an accidental glimpse I don't care. Accidents happen, no big deal.

[lord_chilled]

yeah , its still weird to most people. especially when siblings are of opposite sex

[Anonymous]

I've been reading the opinions and replies. If he doesn't "think like that" and you don't "think like that", the only thing left is to apologize for yelling at your brother.

It's not that hard to make sure the door is blocked, or get your parents to put a latch on the inside. Unless like some others have pointed out, maybe that's not why you posted the question.

Be extra Nice as Spice and I am Sure it will Be... Dropped and Forgotten.
However, if he shyly Brings it up in some Awkward way Here, dear, put in a Quick like, "I'm sorry for yelling, bro," and maybe Both of you will Have a Laugh After the "Feel really weird" Fact.
Good Luck. xx

Welcome to Gag Town. xx

This has actually happened with my brother before, and he's younger than me... We both essentially agreed that nobody saw anything, and that next time if the bathroom door is closed, remember to knock.

[zombiebabe]

just act as if nothing happens.. or tell him next time to knock on doors

[MinkWinsor]

people that live together long enough will eventually see each other naked by accident. I've seen every one of my siblings and parents get out of the shower; by accident each time. I just let it go, they did too, and it's like it hasn't happened.

[KrisPW]

This would have been pretty normal at my house growing up. Small house, one bathroom, awkward has to do away quick. Just don't mention it and when you can get the courage, apologize for the yelling.

[Luvdatjoker]

It all depends on the kind of relationship you have with your brother. Nowadays anything goes. This could be the perfect opportunity to take your relationship in a different direction. You must be careful though, otherwise things could get very awkward.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Accidents do happen by seeing a family member naked. Just tell him your sorry for about things and just let things go with the flow. I wouldn't worry much cause accidents do happen. Maybe your just best to let it go.

[dogbert444]

Why the heck didn't you lock the door?

As a naturist, I have to ask what the big deal is?

Or do I smell a troll?

[Robsinsf53]

LOCK THE DOOR! I've got an older sister and be yelling at her for not locking the door. Just leave it alone. He don't want to relive that momment. Trust me.

[Robsinsf53]

cool.

[Jake999]

It will be weird for a little bit but im sure he feels pretty awkward about it. Just pretend it never happened and dont think too much about it.

[MaximusxXx]

well if it has become awkward between you two, then defiantly talk to him and clear it up, he's a grown up guy

good luck

[RichardBrooks]

These things happen sometimes. It's not a big deal. Next time lock the door.

[Alexisnolastname]

I would lock the door but it doesn't lock, I usually block the door so no one can push it open but I expected to stay home alone

[matchrestore]

Don't worry about it. He knows it was accidental, and you don't need to apologize about it either.

[VirginiaBeachBum]

Just let it go. It happens in families. Nothing to discus at this point.

[Lyndin]

I feel like if I walked in on someone naked, I'd just want to drop it. No talking about it, remembering, or apologizing. :P

[TheNotorious]

he already seen you naked plenty of times when you were little so its not a big deal

[cattertone]

its easier to ignore it. it'll only be more awkward to bring it up in conversation

[Anonymous]

well, something similar happened with my sister as well.
i said eww, she said eww,, them i said sorry and left. it was awkward later then we both just laughed and forgot about it..

[mrkdvsn]

Just talk to him and apologize. I don't see it as being a big deal

[cootjuh]

i see my sis nude all the time nothing awkward about a body

[Alexisnolastname]

How is that not awkward?

[cootjuh]

its my sis im proud of her

[Alexisnolastname]

Again, she's your sister. That's just weird

[Alexisnolastname]

I'm curious though, how do you get past the awkwardness

[cootjuh]

i can't touch her or do something so just walk true and try not to think about sexual things

[Alexisnolastname]

I didn't think of anything sexual but it's still awkward

[Anonymous]

You feel weird because being naked on front of your brother turned you on

[Kaylyne]

So you're 15 going on 18 then, are you?
