Do you ever feel nervous about using other people's bathrooms or public bathrooms? I'm just wondering if this is just me or if anyone else feels this too. I always hold it until I get home because I just can't stand using a bathroom other than my own. I used to hold my bladder at school and wait until I got home just to go. The only time that I went was if it was nearly impossible for me to hold it and I had to go either way.

Same with at other people's houses and I have no idea why. I don't know if its just because of routine/change and not feeling as if I am not used to using other restrooms or what...

is there anything that has this problem?

Used to....but I have problems if I hold pee, so I just pee and don't worry about it...

On a side note, it is fun to see my 13-year-old sister freak out about peeing in the woods because she is such a girly girl and because she is a NT.

Oh, I actually have no problem with that. XD I love peeing in the woods. It doesn't come as a problem to me as opposed to what public bathrooms do. I mean I would even do it everyday if I could but we live in a neighborhood area so people could be watching and that would be bad... my mom taught and raised me better than that.

I used to be like that, it was very much a dislike of going into a strange bathroom - in school especially, I don't remember ever using the bathrooms in high school, granted the fact they were always busy and that I like to hold it probably had an effect on that too.

I generally dislike using other people's bathrooms - but this is more practical, such as not knowing if the toilet will flush, if people will hear you, if they don't have hand-towels to dry your hands on, etc. - I also of course won't use any bathroom but my own for 'number two', I just don't understand why people would do this in others bathrooms or in public bathrooms.

I'd much rather be home, of course, but if I'm not very close to being home, I go where I need to. Holding it isn't healthy, and gives me terrible stomach aches besides.

Its even worse for guys, you have to stand next to people in a urinal...unless your like my and are a stall pisser. Sometimes I can never pee no matter what, like if theres a group of guys loudly talking in the bathroom, or people are waiting on me, or I see someone I know in the bathroom with me.

Not really. But holding it really isn't an option for me. I get thirsty and drink too much. Next thing I know, nature screams. Now, asking to go to the restroom, that's totally different.

Doesn't really bother me much.

The only time when I can't go in a public toilet is when I'm at a busy fete or something like that and there is only one toilet, and there are loads of people lining up outside the door just to use the toilet. I just cannot go when I know strangers are waiting for me!

certain places i will not use the bathroom or shower. I will wait until I can get to one of the places I am more comfortable in.

I don't particularly like using toilets in strange places but that's usually because there are other people around. :)

I physically cannot go in a public toilet urinal, so I have to go in a cubical. I freak if the cubicals are taken because then I look like a pervert just standing there waiting for one to be free, while there are loads of urinals free. What's worse is if it is one of those dirty roadside ones and there is no soap to wash my hands. 8O

The reason I don't like using public restrooms is because it seems like in every restroom guys piss all over the floor and around the counters. It's like these people are thinking, "hey, I'll hum, piss wherever I please, then exit without washing my hands before I grab a bite to eat!".

Nr's 1's I don't really have problems with, nr 2's I rather try and wait till I'm home lol. I do have huge issues going when there's other people. I never go during breaks because there's always someone else.

I have a very shy bladder. I can only use a bathroom if it's empty and quiet (if I hear people talking outside of the bathroom, it stops me from being able to go).
