Help /lounge, I love my sister

Over the past year I've been trying to lie to myself, to think on something else, even got laid and tried to fall in love with other girls, anything but admitting what I, deep down inside, already knew.

I love my sister. Not in the way most brothers love their sisters, but in the way a man loves a woman. Not because of some silly fetish either; when I say love, I mean real, "I'll go to the end of the world for you" love.

My sister is only one year younger than me, making her 20, and currently doesn't have a boyfriend. She's pretty, at least to my eyes, but this is not fueling this. It's her personality. I like no other girl this much. We always had a lot of chemistry,  it's as if we were engineered to be together. Only we happened to share our parents. I'm sure if we had been born in different families, we would be the happiest couple in the world right now.

Lately, I realized I could not give up on this, but I'm kind of scared. I know this is fucked up. But I don't know what to do. I've been avoiding her for a couple of weeks, and this is causing her suffering, which in turn breaks my heart. I don't know if I should confess my love and face the consequences of experiencing a kind of love that's considered unacceptable in our society, even from her, or just let it pass and die inside.

Help me /lounge, what should I do? I think she may be feeling something similar for me becuase we are very close and she considers me attractive, but I don't know to what extent this may only be wishful thinking on my part. Knowing her, I'm sure she won't be angry at me if I tell her how I feel, but I don't know for sure if she'll feel the same about me. I'm positive our parents and everybody else in our family and community will oppose such love, but if she loves me, I'm willing to face all of them or move to some other country to start a new life with her. But I wouldn't want to put pressure on her or make her feel uneasy, so while I think I should confess, I'm not 100% sure and I don't know to what extent what I think is distorted by my strong affection for her.

What a loser. Who cares if you "feel" something towards a person? Physical attraction happens, so what? Any emotional attachment can be explained by logical reasons for liking them. Therefore the only way you're going to get those two confused is if you're 12 years old or messed up in the head. Anyone can tell the difference and not care about a lingering attraction of any kind.

If you'd like to have sex with a person (be it some random girl or your sister) that's a physical attraction, big deal. When it influences your actions and choices, THEN you're an idiot.

I don't go raping a girl whenever I feel like it, or have sex with married woman either. If I have feelings for someone who is unavailable or unsafe, big deal. It's called being an adult to make good choices.

Wow, I hope to gawd you're joking. But seriously... that's crazy. I think you're confused if anything. I doubt it's "love". My brother and I have a really close relationship and I'd go to the end of the earth for him. He's my best friend. We're also only a year apart, me being the younger one. But I've just always concidered that a normal brother/sister relationship. Most of my friends have the same kind of relationship with their older brothers as I do with mine. I think you need to go see a psychiatrist about this if it's affecting you that much. But don't do anything drastic and definitley don't tell her this. It's not the same as being friends with a girl and risking losing your friendship... this is losing your sister, and not to mention over something as "out there" as this. Really, seek help... and I mean that in the nicest way possible.
