In some sort of mess

Okay guys, I've landed myself in a huge/or less pile of s-h-i-t😳
we all get in it one time or the other but heres my turn
okay, details:
So my [older] sister came in my room looking around and pointed out something about my stuffed animals that are on top of my clothes chest...I casually tolder her not to mess with them as I organized them in a certain way [yes I am a 21 yr old who is picky about this stuff]...and then I told her that when Im not at home to make sure our mummyji doesn't reorganize them either... this seemed to put off her mood and she revealed to me that our mother has looked through my room [im aggravated now] and knows something that i dn't know baout [even more aggravated].. so thru my silent anger i just said okay and she left...
Soo0O0o0O... problem comes to one of these:
-she saw/read my diary [top notch confidential things written here]
-she saw my cosmo magazine ?? [i could care less about this but just the fact it has SEX written in bold and size 72 font would bother me a bit that she saw it as well]
-she saw my super bad test score that i got like last year...?
-she read one of my notes that i wrote to a friend
-she saw photos of me and *ahem* someone else
or much more...
This is especially aggravating because I moved back from college last year and my apartment has not been squeezed into my room, so there are things that i tried to hide [apparently of which she knows of now] and I hate my privacy being violated [dude..seriously..]
so my solutions:
-do a major excavation of my room, get rid of all the evidence and just go on life doing whatever...not likely she'll bring up the topic anyways
-ask my sister exactly what she saw.. [i really don't want to do this, please do make me😭]
-ask my sister and talk it over with my mom [😭]
-----------
and I don't doubt my sister, she isn't the one to lie about these things..so I believe and trust that my mom did see soemthing... but she hasn't cleaned my room for months so if she did see something she didn't say anything about it or brought it up...and i know she prolly won't either, she keeps these things inside until she gets really upset... so i dunno...

Hmm... sounds like a bit of a trouble to me.

Well, to tell you the truth if someone went through my room without asking me regardless of whether or not I kept something there would make me really happy too.

My Mom never does that but a couple of my family members have that habit and nothing else makes me feel more terrible and angry.

Anyway, so words of advice:

You could clean out your room and put your things where no one else can reach them. OR simply lock them up. I do that sometimes, just lock up stuff that I don't want anyone else to see and the keys are always with me.

Secondly, as you said your Mom doesn't talk about this stuff usually but I would suggest that you go talk to her. Talk to her about what she has seen and what has upset her. It's better to talk about these things and clear any misunderstandings than just keeping them inside for life.

As you said, in order to get a clear picture of the scene, you might have to ask your sister about what your Mom has actually seen so you've a better idea as to how to approach this to your Mom.

I hope you get out of this fix soon. All the best!

Aww that really sucks! I hate when my parents go in my room and look through my stuff, it feels like I have no privacy! Seriously I don't even have a lock on my door so whenever I'm in my room my mom or dad just open and come right in without even knocking. It really irritates me and I'm always begging for a lock but *sigh*...whatever...

Anyways for your problem, I think you should lock up stuff that you don't want people messing with or like idk just lock your door when you leave and then keep a key or something w/ you so you can open it whenever you wanna go back inside.

For that thing your sis/mom saw...just ask them what it is. If it's something bad then you really wanna talk to them or maybe she's just threatening you for the heck of it to scare you?

Do you know for sure that she knows for all that stuff?
cause sometimes siblings make up stuff like that to get on their siblings nerves...but just in case put all your stuff away that you really dont want anyone to see! even if your mom saw anything, she is most likely not going to talk to you about it so it's probably better if you dont ever bring it up 👍🏼

i think you should talk to your mom as she has seen alot of (private) things. this is the best way i think to refrain from misunderstandings..

Heya, sounds like trouble alright!

To be honest, I think you should talk to your mother, even though it will be uncomfortable and could get heated. Its better to get things said and sorted rather then to let and be then for it to become fireball in an argument.

~ First you should ask you sister what she knows, its good to go and chat prepared!

~ Then you should clear and say sorry where needed - Explain the photo! That will cause worries - only is she has seen it!

~ Then ask you mother, NEVER to read a diary

~ Purchase a bedroom lock!

Good Luck 😊

Well mother's or parent's for that matter have a hard time respecting our privacy. Seeing the fact that you are 21 years old I think you have the right to demand some privacy too. But to make things easier I think you should put your private things out of reach, like do you have a suit case? One of those that have codes that lock's it? Cause then you can put your diary etc in it and lock it. Maybe put some of your stuff at a friends house, a friend that you trust a lot of course. And maybe you should also have a chat with your sister or mother, not to explain yourself because I don't think that is necessary, but to make them realise that you would like to have some privacy. :)

Well, I'm probably too late to give my advice, but considering that I'm me, I'll do it anyways. LOL
Something similar happened to me once. Okay, so maybe it was back in like...6th grade, but it still makes me mad when I think about it 3 years later.
I used to be a diary writing addict, I wrote down every single thing in my diary and one day, my mum found it. *sighs It was mostly about my friends/family and other random boring things, but I did write about my crush and she TOTALLY read everything. I felt so violated that I didn't speak to her for a week.
In your case, it's kind of different...what I'd do is speak to your mom.Maybe she didn't see anything like that.... is she mad at you? Does she show anything?
Also, I know you don't want to do this, but ask your sister. It's the best way to handle the situation.

Crap man!
Everyone has given good advice...that first, get it cleared with your sister as to what exactly your mum saw. as someone before me has said, better to go prepared when talking to your mum....you don't for example want to mention the photo when your mum hasn't actually SEEN it.
About hiding your stuff, why don't you hide in ur uni stuff? like where you keep uni papers, or in a folder, and label the folder something else?
Or do what my brother does....he keeps his letters from his girlfriend in my room, in one of my drawers, underneath all my junk. LoL. seeing as mum routinely cleans his room.
Even though i don't have stuff like that to hide, i still hate it when mum comes into my room and starts looking around. it's annoying, but don't even risk of saying to your mum, "respect my privacy! stop goin through my stuff"...coz if she's a true indian mum, she will reply with "well if u have nothing to hide, it shouldn't bother you" LoL
and if u lock something...just hope you hide it, or pretend it's something else...else if ur mum gets angry one day and sees the locked thing...she's gonna demand you open it for her.
keeping diaries is risky business. like i keep mine in a boz where i keep all my scarves and clutches...something mum will never look into. but then again, i hardly ever write in it. hehe
i realise im very late, has there been any progress?
