No matter how bad I have to go pee I cannot let it out in a public bathroom. I have to go into a stall and close the door. Even if I am with friends or my girlfriend It won’t come out. How do I overcome this

I have this issue too, just stems from performance anxiety/anxiety in general, being mindful will help and focusing on breath

I used to struggle more and sometimes still do, I saw somewhere long ago to try doing math in your head. I do multiplication and by the time I am x2 ing a number for the 3-4 th time it’s flowing. I’m sure mojo exercises around breathing and mindful would help as well. Good luck!

I posted about this months ago, I’ve been battling constant overthinking & have never been able to piss in urinals. however, i saw a post on reddit about counting to 7 or scrolling on your phone and genuinely has helped me massively. the more you keep saying to yourself right im going to use the urinal the more you get used to it. its sounds silly but i never used to be able to go but now problems at all
I have this issue too, and I feel like there’s definitely a connection between it and erection anxiety. hoping to kill two birds with one stone here, lol. the tips in these comments seem really helpful!
Same here! I guess I just don’t want other dudes watching me piss. Seems normal…
Some helpful ideas here! It is a form of anxiety, often going back to childhood stuff and embarrassment. Mojo relaxation exercises will be helpful. Also practicing at home (sounds daft) but imagining you are in public, noticing any tense thought or feelings and visualising yourself feeling relaxed and what you might say to yourself to help. If you are feeling tense it is hard for your to relax enough to start the flow. Doing it mindfully at home will help you learn to relax your body and mind and it will get easier in public. : )
