Poop shy-ness is a real thing.

While some enjoy the act of public defecation or at least are capable of it, others are absolutely paralyzed by the fear of it. I go into a cold sweat at the thought of using any sort of public restroom to do number two. At summer camp, I ended up in the infirmary because I refused to use the communal bathrooms next door to my cabin. It had been two weeks! Is it so wrong to want to be alone when I poop? My problem, I discovered, was a debilitating disease known as poop shyness. I was relieved to learn that I am not the only person suffering from it. Admitting you have poop shyness is the first step to recovery, although I have no idea what the rest of the treatment entails. Related: 8 Gross Dating Problems Solved
