minor incest as a kid?
So... When I was a kid there was some minor incest with my sister. I was 12, she was 17. All it amounted to was voyeurism/exhibitionism so it can only barely be called incest. I have no idea where on that spectrum what happened would be. But... these days I have a problem where I believe women think that I'm leering. So much so that I've literally tried to blind myself before. Do you believe this is caused by what happened as a kid? I have some autistic leanings and don't always make correct eye contact...(I think I stare too much...) I have no idea if you need to know that or not to answer this but there you go.
Thanks for the replies all. To clarify some things, I don't know how much of it was me, or how much was my sister putting me in situations. I recognize that she was the older sibling and that I don't have much blame. (and what happened really isn't that big of a deal.)
I'm actually 35. I'm just trying to figure out why some issues seem to be such a big deal to me. I mean I really have tried to blind myself over thinking women think I'm leering.

Some cultures are more sexually repressed than others. I noticed in another question that you're French which is probably a lot freer than where I am in Texas.
Oh I know it didn't cause the autism...(I had speech delays so the first symptom was at 3... although my parents are adamant I was deaf...) Maybe the autism (inappropriate eye-contact) makes people think I'm leering? But even if it's true that people think that I'm leering, why do I think that's worth trying to blind myself over?
As far as the details of the voyeurism/exhibitionism... even that was minor...Maybe I'm reading way too much into what happened. There were 2 events. The first time was probably accidental were I saw up her shirt. The second event I don't know if she set me up or not. But that was just her asking me to help her look for her glasses in her room and me seeing a little too much of her. She first attempted suicide after this and was out of the house for the rest of my childhood. (For other reasons than this... She accused my dad of abuse, not sexual... physical.)
I had some weird sexuality stuff going on back then...I started practic
