I had a crush on my sister for 2 months - Here's what I've learned

My sister is one year younger than me. She's also more beautiful and smart. Earlier today, I've posted about her, because I had a crush on her and was not sure how to deal with it. I still had some hope that I will be able to act on it and date her or something.<br><br>Here's what happened since:<br><br>In the meantime, I've talked to 2 other friends of mine about my crush. They were both shocked over it, but they honestly said that they had a crush on their siblings too, but ultimately decided to keep it to themselves. One of them said that looking at my sister feels like looking at me, since we look very similar.<br><br>I've talked to a couple of them about a bunch of things. I asked them about my crush and about why I had it. I got many good advice from them and I've started to see things in a different light. They were also shocked when I told them about my post. They said that incest is forbidden for a reason and that it's not acceptable to have such feelings or to act on them.<br><br>I've talked to another friend of mine, who is a girl. She's had a crush on me for a couple of months, but she didn't have the courage to tell me. I didn't know about it and honestly, I'm flattered by it. We talked about it and I've asked her how does she feels about incest. She said that she's shocked and disgusted by it and that she would never even think about dating a sibling or a family member. She said that I should be happy that I have a sister and should be nice to her.<br><br>I've talked to my sister. She came to my room to talk to me and have a conversation. She was shocked by my post. She said that she loves me as her brother and that's all. She said that she's disgusted by incest and that she doesn't even want to think about it. She said that she's happy to be my sister and that she wants to be just siblings.<br><br>I'm happy that we've had a talk. I've told her about my crush and about how I feels about incest. I've asked her about why I had a crush on her. She said that I probably just idolized her, because I've helped her with many things and because she's always been very close to me. She also said that maybe I felt lonely or maybe I just wanted to feel wanted and important.<br><br>I've talked to a bunch of other people about it too. Almost all of them said that incest is forbidden for a reason and that it's not acceptable to have such feelings or to act on them. Many of them were shocked by my post and my crush. They all said that they would never even think about dating a sibling or a family member.<br><br>I've also realized that many things I've written in my previous post were not true and were just made up in my head. For example, I said that my sister had a crush on me too. She didn't. She loves me as her brother and nothing else. I said that we got closer in the past 2 months. We didn't. I said that we talk about a lot of things. We don't. I said that I feel like I've known her my whole life. I don't. I said that I feel like I can talk to her about anything. I can't.<br><br>In the end, I've learned a lot from this whole situation. I've learned that many people have a crush on their siblings, but ultimately decide to keep it to themselves and move on. I've learned that incest is forbidden for a reason and that it's not acceptable to have such feelings or to act on them. I've learned that I'm very lucky to have such a great sister. I've learned that I'm very lucky to have such great friends. I've learned that I should be happy that I have a sister and should be nice to her.
