yeah I felt that way too although never being called out on it. the fear of being called out was enough lol
one time I did get a really unexpected case of diarrhea. I was over the fucking moon when I made it to the bathroom and it was empty. my mom worked at my school so she just gave me anti diarrhea medicine and it was all better but I was thinking the entire time “this is so embarrassing”
This will actually be a popular opinion.  Not helping:  schools which remove stall doors, or stalls themselves, to prevent vandalism or misbehavior.  Prison-like >

YO SOMEONE TAKING A SHIT” >

"IT'S LIKE THAT'S WHAT THE FUCKING TOILET IS HERE FOR OR SOMETHING!" was my default response to that in high school. >

I feel this way about public bathrooms in general. Im a grown adult but my public pooping anxieties can be quite childish lol. Like if im about to drop one and somebody else comes in I'll continue to hold it until they leave so they don't hear the plop noise. >

Or wait till they use the loud hand dryer >

Lol definitely. The second they flush or the hand dryer kicks on I just unload. >

I think the worst part is how disgusting they are. Like the men's toilets in a lot of public places are vile >

I get to work early and take my daily dump. The toilets are freshly cleaned and there’s plenty of TP…I’m also not filling my septic tank so that’s another plus >

I would rather die than shit in a public school restroom. Whenever I had to shit in school I would literally leave and go to the sports center next door where the bathroom was always empty and I had the whole place to myself. >

WE NEED AN AMERICAN PUBLIC RESTROOM REVOLUTION. Our stalls are garbage, you can see through the cracks in the door, the stalls are too close together, WHY IS THERE OPEN ROOM AT THE BOTTOM BETWEEN STALLS???! Maybe play some fucking music in the restroom???? Can men’s rooms do away with the stand up urinals too please, it’s too close for comfort. Give me a room with 10 small independent closed rooms inside of it, each with a toilet. As an American, this is one of my biggest pet peeves about my own country. We are absolutely fucking this up. >

Remember in school when you literally couldn't do anything without someone making fun of you?
It's not thay pooping is shameful, it's that kids will make fun of you for anything to make themselves seem better because that's just what adolescents/teenagers do. >

Oh no kids find poop funny >

It isn't shameful but public toilets are disgusting. >

Is this a new generation thing? Because there was never such problems back when I was going to school. >

This was never a thing in my school.  Plus our bathrooms were actually clean >

Yeah I never had this problem honestly and I’m glad I didn’t. Holding in your poop is a very uncomfortable experience >

Finch? >

I don't think many people will be like "No, man. It really should be shameful." >

Just grow up and take a poop. I never got the fear about it, I used to shit all the time at school.
Fear of public bathrooms is way more cringey than having natural bodily functions >

for real >

I have never, at any point of my life, felt shame in needing to do a bodily function in a public place. When you gotta go, you gotta go. More embarrassing if you try to hold it and end up in exploding. >

Since when is it shameful?
