Disclaimer: not a medical thread and not looking for advice. Just looking for a bit of a **** take (thought I'd get in there first! ) about my, and hopefully others', psychological issues
So, I suffer from stage fright; and not in the acting capacity either.
I regularly, but not always, experience this phenomenon. Airport, pub, cinema, theater, work, etc, where I need to go for a #1. Now, I specifically target my visiting time and pee receptacle of use, opting for a cubicle primarily, or, if there's not one available, a urinal with several vacant positions either side.
If a cubicle, corner urinal or one with no vacant slots either side are unavailable, I find it really difficult to commence micturition. Sometimes i'll stand there for ages before giving up and proceed to act as if everything was normal by shaking, washing hands, etc, in the hope that no other gentlemen have noticed.
I know it's a psychological issue as if the Gents' are empty or I get a cubicle, the wee is free flowing!
Anyone else experience this, or similar? Care to share your experiences, or lack of them?
Bring on the **** takes and puns
Maybe I should've saved this for Mags' next confession thread
