yep i have the exact same problem it's called bladder shyness, it's really horrible and i dont think there is anything to fix it, basically if you ever get in a situation where you cant piss alone you will probably rupture your bladder i had to take a drug test once and it took me 4 hours and then he finally let me use a stall then i peed after like 10 minutes, it's pretty horrible

Very common. I've heard it called "bashful kidneys." I understand they make some noisemakers for public japanese restrooms for just this issue.

That's what I'm afraid of!!

I once was in a concert hall watching a performance in 6th grade...and I needed to go so badly I was crying, so I was ushered out. The bathroom was crowded but quiet and I couldnt pee...my teacher started getting upset with me when the fire alarm went off!! I still couldnt pee because I was scared, and the alarm wasnt constant. Finally the sprinklers came on and it was enough nose for me to pee LOL. Luckily I wasnt getting wet till I left the bathroom though :D.

i have the same problem, it's awful. i especially hate going at my mates house. They always have the bathroom window wide open, and people outside can hear! Eugh..

Someone is always listening, maybe even watching you pee. ALWAYS. I heard that in public restrooms there are cameras placed above the stall and urinals so that freaks can watch you go. Good luck going now you stupid f*ck!

Nice try. I ALWAYS go to the stall without vents, etc.

And that's just propaganda anyways :P.

I used to have this problem but came up with The Perfect Solution!
I'm a male, BTW.
Sit down to pee! You'll be amazed! Try it.

wow i thought I was the only one! yeah I have this same problem and what sucks if people are waiting behind you then you can't go and you don't want to keep them waiting so you act like you went pee than you have to wait till everyone is gone ect... as for the drug test what you have to do is drink a ridculous amount of water (about 3-4 bottled waters) and about 15-20 mins you should be set but if you have to hold it damn it hurts

Be careful.... you can die from drinking too much water.. It's called water poisoning (I know yeah? Crazy lol)

Idk if it's normal, but u can always jus flush the toilet 1st and then pee so others can't hear u...

A tip because this affects me!
Use a locked toilet and put some toilet paper down in the toilet so you can pee more quietly.
My bladder muscles won't work if someone else is there. This is super normal, don't worry too much

around 30% of people have some kind of bladder shyness. its more common in women than men. personally, i'm a guy, i can't pee in the urinal in front of other guys so i have too wait for the cubicle. if there are other guys there i generally say in a loud voice "i have a shy bladder. but i'm not shy about having a shy bladder.". since i was drunk and did this for the first time i've felt much more relaxed about the whole thing. i recommend being open about it. it doesn't make the problem go away but it makes it less stressful.

yea, i do taht too but others call you a chick

I dont think you have a problem. Everyone has something that they do others might find weird. But its what you feel comfortable that matter. I can go if someone if listening, but i dont like feeling like someone is listening. Your okayy, there way worse things you could be rare about im sure alot of people are just like you.

my thing is: sometimes you know when you get to the urinal & it takes a few seconds to get going? well i hate when others can hear me NOT peeing. the silence drives me crazy & keeps me from peeing even longer. so i have exact opposite.

i have the exact same issue.
i dont put on the hand dryers or whatever, but im always thankful when someone walks in and decides to do it for their own use.

i just simply get embarrassed when i know people are literally listening to me urinate l:

If folks call me a chick for sitting down I just show 'em my man junk.
I even offer to let 'em have a feel so they're certain it's real.
The shyness is about peeing not folks seeing what I got in my pants.

I have a small penis, while taking a drug test the man scoffed as he looked at what I had pulled from my pants...His shirt and face was then covered in piss.

When i was younger i could piss anywhere, i didnt care, once when i was 5 i took a piss out my window while half the neighbourhood was outside lol tho when i got around 12 i couldnt piss if any1 was in the room, i dont even take a piss at school cuz of it
