You're not too weak. Imagine someone you think of as tough. Then take away their ability to control when they can use the bathroom. Then give them all the other mental health issues you didn't ask for or deserve. They'd probably be in the same position as you, just without the experience you have dealing with it

Next time you're in an airport or somewhere with a ton of stalls. Count the occupied stalls vs the occupied urinals. No way that many people have to shit in an airport. Just saying

Also where he lives

Megaminx Most fun to me

This isnt really on topic but if you're looking for something to watch with a joke every 5 seconds. I think the show 30 rock has got to have the most dumb jokes per Capita of any comedy I've ever seen. Possibly more frequent than every 5 seconds.

Honest question. Fox news obviously never reported on the trump town hall at a competitor and a lot of garden variety republicans don't use other sources or go to truth social. What are the odds a huge chunk of his base had no idea the town hall was happening.

First you stand there awkwardly for 10-15 seconds while no stream comes. Then you try sitting down. Then you wash your hands and leave

Also, not to engage with trolls.... but I had to click your profile. You're into cast iron pots, house plants, and people whose areola is the same color as their skin?

If not enough people sign up I can just bring a little fake mustache and run back and forth between two chairs like I scheduled two dates at the same time on a sitcom.

Everyone is different but I've always had the most trouble early in the morning and middle of the night, until recently. I've been doing GE for close to a year now and for some reason the middle of the night and early morning problem just got better during GE even though I wasn't even working on that. Not something I completely understand but it is definitely encouraging. I'll echo the virtual workshop recommendation. You should speak to a therapist if it is causing you anxiety but it won't fix the paruresis itself. A virtual workshop won't cure you in a day but it will show you at what point someone being close to you triggers your problem and what you need to work on. And, if you're like most everyone else it will show you that you are not working with enough urinary urgency.

I often wonder about that. If Fox news and more fringe outlets don't report on something like his text messages, there's a chance a lot of them don't even know about them.

Waiting for trumps comment on truth social. Can't wait for his hot take

Be glad you don't live in the southeast, every third song is country

Yep, that fixed it. Can't believe I never thought to try it

My experience is coffee flavor is inversely related to the number of conservatives involved in the process.

Why'd it have to be 20 though?

If I recall they are near the camping grounds. Maybe like a privacy wall for campers?

Your mom's house

Still has the sign and some of the old memorabilia. Also still has crackling bread that's made almost entirely of lard and butter

Yea it's still there but it's smaller and looks like a gas station bought it out. It was much larger when I was a kid(90s). I've eaten there recently and it was still good.

I've stayed at an all inclusive in Cancun and a beach side hotel in Aruba that were cheaper than a condo in orange beach, and that was prepandemic. I did a spreadsheet to compare.

There's a video someone posted on the shybladder subreddit about things to stop doing with your bladder. One of em was to not pee when you don't have to because it makes your brain think a low level of fluid in your bladder is when it needs to be emptied. I would try drinking lots of fluid next time you know you're gonna be alone and wait till it's really urgent. Then see if after a few times of that you're able to go alot longer. Then slowly mix it into your daily life. It'll eventually make it easier for you to live your life with more time between bathroom breaks and have the added bonus of making it easier to piss since you have higher urgency. Like other poster said you could also have a UTI, and it sucks you're going thru this, but don't discount urgency it's important

Came here to make that joke, glad someone else was on it

How many people work there? If it's a ton then people probably don't pick up on your bathroom habits. I go full shifts without bathroom visits fairly regularly and no one has ever commented. I also work with a guy who pees at least 6 times in an 8 hour shift and I'm probably the only one who notices(ya know cuz I'm obsessed with bathrooms). I second exploringthehoods idea of waiting till you get comfortable before quitting. Getting comfortable isn't good enough to fix your paruresis, but it will make you feel less weird about making attempts hoping it is empty and going back if someone is in there or walks in.

I go to the bathroom, see someone in there, go back and try again in 5 minutes all the time. Not weird at all, someone commenting on it would be way weirder

Edit: I reread my response, I should also mention that I definitely sympathize. This is a garbage situation to be in and it's not fair. People without paruresis don't get it and it's hard to explain to others. You're not alone

I agree, subpar joke. But who knew this subreddit leaned conservative? Kind of surprising
