Is it normal to have a crush on your brother?

Unusual.Less common, but harmless

Confusing or crush-like feelings toward a sibling can happen, and having a feeling doesn’t make you a bad person. Keep the relationship firmly within sibling boundaries; feelings aren’t instructions to act.

Sometimes closeness, admiration, or a passing confusing feeling can feel like a crush. It may not be something you’d choose, and you don’t need to shame yourself for having a thought or feeling.

A sibling relationship still needs clear boundaries: don’t pursue romantic or sexual contact. If the feelings are upsetting or hard to manage, talking privately with a trusted counselor can help you sort through them without judgment.
