Is it normal that i find it hard to go to the bathroom in a room full of guys

Recently, whenever I'm in a public restroom (especially at school), unless I have to go really bad, I find it hard to start going if there are other guys in the room with me. It's like the pressure of people waiting on me gets to me and it takes forever for me to actually get piss flowing.

    Many guys have this anxiety. I used to be pee shy. I would get mad at myself for not being able to release the flow at a urinal or at a toilet in a home if people outside the bathroom could hear me pee. I was determined to beat this inhibition to pee and used logic to do it. Actually, what's the big deal? Everyone pees and it's a natural occurence. Was I embarrassed that someone would see my goods? No; I have no issues with nudity. I go to a local nude beach with hundreds of people naked. I figured that it had something to do with conditioning, and I could train myself to overcome it. It took a few years, but now I can pee anywhere on demand.

    im the same way...i get nervous and if there are alot of girls in there i walk in pretend to fix my makeup and walk out and just hold it but if i need to go bad i just go but yeah i see some girls when they go into the bathroom they turn on the sink water and go pee and it helps them and its helped me be4 too. i keeps other people from hearing you pee lol. so if it makes you uncomfortable also just dont use the urinals just go into a stall :)

    I don't know about peeing but I can't shit in a public place and I also can't shit at home if I can hear people talking or moving around the house lol its not that I'm embarresed its like my asshole literally just won't let me ha ha and as for peeing I'm a girl so don't have to worry about that in public but have had no problem peeing with people in my bathroom before

    I've heard of this before and I think that's why some guys prefer to use the stalls. That's probably what I'd do if I was a dude.

    Common enough, I had a friend that had the same issue. He almost pissed his pants on several occasions because every time he would go to the bathroom, one of us would follow him and harass him until he gave up.

    He eventually got over it though, and ended up turning around and pissing on my shoes once. Ahhh high school memories!

  • Yep. It's called stage fright. Common enough to have a social term so...yeah.
