I guess I agree with you.
We are all normal and we all use the toilet. That being said are you at ease using a toilet in a cubicle that is side by side with another toilet and separated by a thin wall that doesn't reach the floor?
Is feeling uncomfortable in that scenario considered shy-bladder/bowel syndrome? Cause if it is, I think we all got it.

There exists a reflex called the gastro-colic reflex: when food hits your stomach, it triggers a reflex in your colon and you will feel the urge to have a bowel movement.
My strategies to overcome the poo-shyness are the following:
Flush to cover up noises.
Flush as you poo to keep the smells at bay.
Bring a palm-sized air freshener with you when you go to the bathroom for a spritz right before you exit. |
For me that means the whole office hears the continuous flushing and wonders what's going on.

Since I was a child, I have had issues because of my “shy” bowel that refused to allow me to use the bathroom anywhere but home—I would literally go two weeks straight without having a bm when I went to sleep away camp, and then spent Visiting Day in the bathroom. I’m in my 30s now and things have not improved. I’m a teacher and I only have a few minutes between periods. I simply cannot relax enough. I’m perpetually constipated and when I finally do use the bathroom, it’s an ordeal—we’ll leave it at that. |
I feel for you!! it's really hard!
I think when I was school age I was heavier because I didn't have a chance to have bm. Now that I have become regular in the past few years bec. I was home I have been able to keep at a lower weight. What I'm trying now is to wake up a little earlier and try to have a few minutes before I leave - it's really hard.

Maybe I'll try that!

I've been needing to go #2 alot more when pregnant also
Btw when toilet training toddlers I've learnt that there are 2 options or that they need to try out all toilets wherever you may go or that they only will use the toilet at home

Bring a book of matches rather than an air "freshener" spray. Briefly burning a match will combat telltale odors without making the next customer break out in hives.
