fear of public bathrooms?!

Not that weird I can't use urinals for some reason...I have trouble going when I have high anxiety too, but I don't really care it doesn't affect my life all that much

I have trouble using urinals when people I don't know are near me, but if I know them I'm alright. Usually just use the stalls if all the urinals are taken, which I'm always quietly pleased by.

riding on the bus and having to use the restroom = HELL lol. i got motion sickness and had to throw up in the restroom on the bus. it was absolutely disgusting paying homage to a floating-crap-like-outhouse lol. i'm pretty much grossed out at the thought of using public restrooms. i try to avoid it like the plague.

I have this too. I hate being in the car and needing to go. For a couple of reasons really. When I was younger I got lost trying to find the toilets and I keep having constant dreams with them in, about getting lost etc. They are driving me crazy lol.

Im also afraid to go into like a diner thing unless someone is with me. I hate the thought of all those people in there watching me as Im trying to find the toilets.

Some have locks that are hard to use and I have a fear of getting stuck in them. I have done before! Or the ones where there is a long queue you have to wait in and then you end up in a cubicle where the door wont shut. So I try to avoid to go when there are queues.

Also those ones where you have to pay to use them put me off so I avoid them. I think that I wont know how to use those machines as Im not very good with technology and stuff so most things I find complicated

long queues are a nightmare, I hate having to wait.

You know, this is weird. I don't think I've ever really worried or thought about this, because I never need to. I don't think I drink enough to even have to worry about this. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing lol.

Used to have this problem bad when I was younger but not so much anymore. I still cant pee in front of strangers though, even at my own house. Like if there anywhere near the bathroom, I wont be able to do it. So I'll make em wait downstairs. If it's a girl I'm dating, I'll be straight forward about it and try to make a joke out of it. Nice ice breaker.

I cant use the urinals. I prefer to lock myself and pee even though they put a annoucement saying to use the urinals if its just pee.

i didn't know there are signs saying to use the urinals if you're just going to pee. interesting. if i were a guy i would probably still pee in the toilet for privacy. what are they going to do arrest you? just make sure you put the toilet seat back down for the next person. i'm glad i don't have to deal with strangers watching me piss.

btw i totally put in neverending story last night because of your icon!

I have a problem using urinals. I tried to use them but I can't go with people walking around behind me. I tried visualizing peeing and running water but it doesn't seem to work. It's not as bad when I use a stall. I usually pick the handicap toilets because they are much bigger. It kinda makes me feel that I am in my own little room or something. When I am in the smaller stalls, I get more nervous.

i used to be terrifeid of using public loos... just th sounds...
so ... i make sure i kinda fill the toilet bowl with lots of tissue to quetein the sound
works !
