Paruresis is a type of phobia in which the sufferer is unable to urinate in the (real or imaginary) presence of others, such as in a public restroom. The analogous condition that affects bowel movement is called parcopresis.
I can't use urinals. I literally can only pee in a stall when there's no one there.
It sucks. Especially when I go to crowded places like amusement parks, movie theater, restaurant etc
Yesss the struggle of communal bathrooms. Like, I can't relieve myself if someone is standing right next to me, especially if the walls are not high enough to block tall people like me
I always pee in front of my girlfriends at parties. We go to the bathroom and all take turns. We're always ****ed. I do it in front of girls I've just met too. I'll be like "are we there yet?" and they'll be like "yeah we're there."
Yes, I get so anxious when other people are in the restroom. I won't go unless it's dead silent and giving me horror movie serial killer in the last stall vibes.
Well, I don't use urinals but it's because I'm scared someone will try and look at my ****, not because I don't want to pee around people. I've peed in the forest with other people, but we were back-to-back and I knew he wouldn't turn around.
I have to concentrate for 5 mins at least.
I use the public restroom only if no one is there.
