I'm a girl, so that makes it SUPER awkward. I recently started sleeping naked, don't judge me, it's just really comfortable. So it was morning & my bro knocked on my door & I swear I'm not making this up, & I know it's a stupid mistake to make, but it really happened I swear. I totally forgot I was naked cuz I just woke up. So I opened my door & smiled & said,"Good morning." He just awkwardly stared at me, but then he covered his eyes & said,"OMG! at least have some decency. Your better than that!" I said,"What R U talking about, wierdo?" He kept covering his eyes & said, "I just came to say, Get ready now, cuz I have to drive us to school early, I have a meeting!" I was wondering Y he had his hand over his eyes. that's when I looked down & realized I was naked, so I covered up & slammed my door fast! So he dived us to school & the whole dive was awkward silence.

AHHH! What do I do? Now everytime I see my brother, it's nothing but awkward silences, I hate those! But I don't know what to say! I hate when he drives us to school now & just the 2 of us in the car, & we say nothing! We used to sing songs together in the car & talk, but now it's just dumb awkward silence, UGH! Even every Friday after school, he'd drive us to the mall or something & the 2 of us just hang out & have fun, but he doesn't do that anymore :( PLZ HELP!!! He's 17, I'm 16.

Honesty is always the best policy!!! Ask your brother to please sit down with you in private, so you two can have a long talk uninterrupted by distractions. Put both of your cellphones in another room before sitting down to talk.



Tell your brother that you really miss spending time with him, and that you miss talking with him. Explain to him exactly what happened. Look into his eyes. Make doe eyes at him.



Here are a few suggestions about how to handle the situation with your brother:

- Ask him to please spend time with you again, and to talk with you.

- Tell him that he's always been a great brother, and that you're sorry for accidentally wrecking things.

- Ask him to hug you.

- Tell him that you love him, and that you'll always love him.

- Tell him how much you've enjoyed spending time with him.

- Tell him that having a super great brother who pays attention helps to keep you out of trouble, because you're not lonely and yearning for male attention.

- Tell him that he's modeling the type of guy you'll want to date.

- Tell him how much he's helped you to be able to quickly spot liars, jerks, creeps, and players... because he's NOT one of those.

- Tell him that having a neat brother has kept you from falling for the lies of players (if that's true).

- Thank your brother for loving you and for all of the wonderful times you've shared together.

- Thank your brother for covering his eyes, and for acting like a polite gentleman.

- Reach out and give your brother a long hug. Whisper "I love you... please don't pull away from me, and please don't ignore me!!!" into his ear.



BTW... it's actually possible that your brother was turned on by what he saw, and he might be thinking that you're trying to seduce him (it happens - take a look at this Yahoo! Answers question - https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20140205201438AAuXISL ).



If your brother got turned on by accidentally seeing you undressed... that doesn't mean he's a pervert, demented, or evil. It just means that he's completely normal. It would also be normal for him to think about you now while masturbating... but you don't need to say anything about that.



Finally... go ahead and tell your brother that if he happened to get turned on by seeing you naked, it's perfectly normal. It's OK, and he doesn't need to feel embarrassed.



Good luck!!! I hope that you have a talk with your brother, and that things go back to normal again.

Oh c'mon Sam, usually you people down under are pretty cool.

What happened ? Some crime ? Not at all.

It's very common that a sibling is entering a room and finds the other with a boyfriend/girlfriend in an intimate position, happened with me and my sister, ok i was older than your brother i was 21 and my sis was in your age, 16, so i came home from holidays, my parents were somewhere else in vacation and i expected to find my sis.

Coming from the balkony in the periphery of the house the balkony door of the bedroom of my parents was half open, i entered directly and found a naked guy on the bed of my parents ! (now ask me how awkward THAT was ! :-D). Before i could find my voice my sis steped in the room (naked ofcourse).

After 15' she introduced me to her first official boyfriend (dressed this time).

I must admit that our relationship was shattered a little bit for a few days, but afterwards it was normal again (at least until i met this guy once in the city wearing a jacket of mine !!! -you see there are worse sisters like you )

I tell you all this to show you that indeed nothing terrible happened, after all you did nothing on purpose, but since your bro obviously can't handle the whole thing, i would do the first step and trying to talk about it. I mean if you had a good relationship before he probably wants it back but doesn't know what exactly to do, he somehow thinks that he has to be mad at you (but actually ...doesn't know why this has to be and wishes that everything was like before).

If he still reacts abnormal then just leave him for a while. He can't be forever like this.

In case you have the feeling that things go out of control, go to your mom or dad (the one you feel more closer to ) and tell him exactly what happened. Not in an accusing form but asking him to be the mediator.

Again: You didn't made something wrong, it's like forgeting to close the WC-door and somebody comes in, this is happening all the time and in this case it enters a totally stranger.

In one month you two will be laughing about that and when your bro has a girlfriend you can teasing him and asking him "are you covering your eyes when you see her too ?!" :-D

Good luck ! ;-)

Just speak to your brother about it. Tell him that you didn't realise that you were naked and that you've taken to sleeping that way because it's much more comfortable.



Give your brother time. He'll be his old self again in no time. Also don't wait for him to initiate the singing. Put a song on and get him to sing with you. If he doesn't want to then respect that. But continue singing. He has to see that you are still the same person. He should also respect the fact that you prefer to sleep naked for your comfort.



My sister saw me many times back when we shared a room and I got dressed for school while she slept or was supposed. Though we were both shocked, we just went on as normal. It happens. Many years from now you and your brother will laugh about this.



It can also be that your brother loves watching porn so his view of nudity might be sexual. If that's the case, give him time to understand that nudity isn't always sexual. And move on with your life.



Continue to sleep naked. Continue to be who you are. In time he'll come around. Nudity is a powerful thing because it's dichotic, paradoxical, and symbolical on so many levels.

No worries, this happens to people all over the world and sleeping naked does feel good so don't stop doing that. As for your brother, just don't say anything about it and the awkwardness will pass in a very short time. One day, you will look back and laugh about this, because it's really no big deal.

it is awkward! for both of you, but as Microwave has said, it was an honest mistake. maybe one of the times you are alone in the car with him, you can just bring it up, and say you notice things are different and that you miss how things used to be and that it was an honest mistake. It will probably feel awkward to bring it up, but once you do, then you can just get it out in the open so you can both talk about it and hopefully laugh about it and get back to normal. good luck!

There's nothing wrong with sleeping naked, so there's nothing to "judge" in that regard. Chalk it up to one of many awkward moments that happen when you live under the same roof with family. He saw what you look like... Human. Female human even. Don't worry, he'll live.

I don't think you need to say much unless you didn't explain it was and accident, that you were still half asleep. Any ways he may be uncomfortable, but the best way to push that aside is to not act uncomfortable too. Just start singing in the car like you used to and be normal. It will easy him, And take his mind off that he seen you. need to redirect his focus and yours. But show him your over it and he'll come around in time I'm sure.

Ahh! Don't worry, he's just not over it yet, but trust me , there's so many things you've forgotten, he will forget this too in time! Don't be ashamed :) You didn't do anything bad! Just act normal and he will begin to act normal too! He's blood, he's family! Who cares?:)
