Anyone else have a problem using bathroom in public places?

I'm a guy and I just can't take a piss if anyone is around me. This is totally embarrassing. I basically have to wait until I get home or find a restroom that is only 1 room or go in to a restroom that nobody else is in. This can make life pretty hard at times. Traveling is always a pain. I heard that 1% of guys suffer from this.

I have to go in the closed doors. I cannot stand the thought of exposing my penis in public. Awful judgements could follow. I can go to public toilets if I go in the locked toilets though, unless they are dirty or something.

I was thinking the other day back to a situation when I was 11. This could of been one of the first signs of my SA. Before an excursion in year 5, we all had to go to the toilet. So I went, but I physically could not piss. Then I got anxious that other people would notice this for some reason. The private toilets were full so I began to panic. It was painful, because I really needed to go, and I began panicking and crying. I had to go home later that day because I had somewhat a panic attack before going on the bus. One of the worst days in my life.

That sucks, man. The first time I realized I had this problem, I was at a baseball game and had to use the bathroom, so I go in the restroom and there are like 100 people in there waiting to use the urinal. I finally get up the urinal and I was so anxious, I couldn't go and I turned around to leave and the dude behind me gave me a weird look because he saw that I didn't take a piss. Totally embarrassing. I've figured out now that the trick is to watch what you drink. If I'm going to be in public for a long time I just don't drink anything and I'm fine.

I get it sometimes but not really irrationally, i mean when someone goes right next to you, in the next urinal (breaking the rules) it's kinda harsh...it's pretty much just stare straight at the wall kinda thing.

Also another crappy thing is when the dude next to you has a freaking third leg! just makes you think shiiiiiiiit lol
