Everyone's talking about the embarrassment/anxiety they've felt over pooping in public restrooms.

But me? I feel embarrassment/anxiety over peeing in public restrooms.

Yes. That's fucking right. For some reason, my brain has decided to freak out over the possibility of someone in a restroom hearing me tinkle -- despite the fact that it's a pretty safe bet that others in a restroom have also come to tinkle. For years, I would go into a bathroom, enter a stall, and just sit there, waiting until it seemed like I was alone before peeing. Sometimes, if the wait stretched for too long, I would leave without doing my business and resolve to hold it. After a time, I graduated to simply waiting until someone nearby flushed a toilet, as the flushing noise would mask the sound of my pee. The problem with this, of course, was that if no one flushed within a respectable amount of time, I would still have to leave.

I'm "better" now in the sense that I can force myself to pee no matter what. But my anxiety still spikes if there's someone present to "listen" to my tinkling. "Won't they think I'm disgusting? Won't they cringe at the knowledge that what they hear is the sound of someone else's urine striking the water of the toilet?"

So, OP? I get you. I might not get you in precisely the same way, but I get you. I'm glad that something has helped you to overcome your anxiety. And should it ever return, I want you to remember: it could be worse; you could be afraid to pee.

I think Japan might be the country for you! Most toilets there come with a button that makes a flushing noise, so no one can hear you pee. c:

It is hilarious when I'm in a restroom with toilettes which don't have a flushing noise function and there are Japanese ladies.
I, the foreigner, just pee and don't care. What needs to get out has to get out.

The Japanese ladies on the other side do their best to not to be heard. You can almost feel their tension.
I.

to.
pee.
quietly. Ganbarimasu.

LOL! You'd think one of them would take advantage of it and just let loose, and then they could it was foreigner you making all the noise.

Perhaps I have met you in the bathrooms at work. Sometimes I go in, and I can see the feet of someone sitting there, silently in a stall. I do my business - so there's tinkling or plopping - and I get out and wash my hands and towel dry. And the other person is still sitting there, silent and unmoving. It's kind of creepy, like they're toilet ghosts, lurking and listening.

Anyway, I get that people have anxiety, I just don't suffer from it. But whatever works for people! :)

I had serious issue with just peeing in public for years.

I went to a private school and we had "random" drug testing and then a couple times a year everyone had to test. And they always wrote shy bladder on my form which did not help anything.

It would seriously take me all day to be able to pee, I'm like no I'm not just trying to get out of class(some faked not being able to go so they wouldn't have to go to class) I really just cannot pee in front of people.
