Paruresis

inability to use the bathroom in public.
none345678
I don't even like going at a friends or family house. When I do go at home I lock the door because I am paranoid that someone with walk in even thought when I'm home 80% of the time I am there alone.

I can't go at my school. I have resorted to just holding it all day until I get home..

That's from 7:00 am to about 4:00 pm.

Ya, its really hard for me.
Pun.
But seriously I get stage fright. And then I just stand there looking like a fool. Until finally it starts streaming and I tense up again so everyone thinks I just peed for 5 seconds and then I cant relax so I just walk away with a still full bladder...

True story.

I used to when I was younger but now I try to find the most public bathrooms to take dumps and take my thrown as king.

Throne?

Haha sorry, I was like "lul wut" when I read that. Damn wtf, I can't take dumps in hella public bathrooms.

For example, whenever I go to Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, if I need to take a shit, I always go to Dilliard's or Bloomingdale's, as opposed to Macy's and Nordstrom's. It's because whenever I go to Dilly's or Bloomy's, the bathrooms are HUGE with MANY STALLS, but there would be NO ONE in there. And it smells nice. Macy's and Nordy's usually have some people there, or even lines of women, and it just gets nasty and stuffy.

When I was younger, I used to hate going to public bathrooms and hold it in, and I also rarely wanted to use the bathrooms at my friends' homes. I hated the school bathrooms because there was always a limited supply of toilet paper, so usually there wouldn't be any at all, and the bathrooms were always dirty and really smelly. I felt really dirty going in and out of the school bathrooms, even to just wash my hands. Fortunately, college bathrooms are much more sanitary and there's almost ALWAYS an endless supply of toilet paper.

However, if I ever need to take a dump at the bathrooms at school, unless I'm about to piss in my pants, I'll walk the extra 10 minutes to the library, down the stairs, and using the farthest bathroom (out of 4 different bathroom locations) so that I will be the ONLY person in the bathroom. And I almost always have to use the handi-cap ones because the small stalls make me feel claustrophobic.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. It's not fun.

No. Unless you go to a gas station or Burger King, they're not that bad. If you gotta go, you gotta go. shrug.gif

I guess I could see why guys might have it though...especially if they're not very gifted down there.

It's not that I can't use public restrooms but I just choose not to. I'd rather wait to get home, tbh.

I used to hate public rest rooms and would hold it in until I got home. They grossed me out. Luckily, college bathrooms are fairly clean and someone is always cleaning them.

Last summer I took a road trip with a couple friends of mine and I saw some of the most disgusting gas station bathrooms ever. I tried to hold it until I could find at least a somewhat decent bathroom (one that didn't look like the seat was crawling with diseases), but then it got painful so I just turned to hovering. I came back from that trip with stronger legs.
