So, I'm 26 years old and about 5 months ago, for the very first time in my life, I experienced a "shy bladder."

I never once came close to having one. I can stand up, turn around, piss, all while continuing my involvement in any conversations. I probably piss outside more than I piss inside. The first snowfall every year, I make sure to write my name in it. And being from an isolated community, you get used to being in the middle of nowhere and needing a bathroom break, so you pull over onto the shoulder, get out, and just piss into the ditch while the occasional vehicle drives on by.

So for me to get a shy bladder was totally fucked and out of character. I was at a lounge, went to the pisser, was just about to start, then another guy walked in and then...I just couldn't do it. I was confused for a second, then I just started laughing a lot. The guy looked at me weird and I just said, "I had to piss, you walked in, I can't piss. This has never happened to me before." And I went back to my table and told my friends about it and we had a good laugh, while I waited until I had to pee almost unbearably bad and went back and let'r go.

About a week later, I was in the bathroom at work and could hear someone using the sink on the other side of the wall and I just froze up again...couldn't piss. I'm not sure what caused the first one, but I think the first one caused the second one, then the first two compounded to fuck me for a third time.

A while later I was at a public urinal, and someone was standing next to me and it fucking happened again. That time I just stood there and pretended I was actually pissing. That was the only time it actually embarrassed me.

So I went online and started reading and seen a few people post about having this problem and using math to help. So the next time it happened, I just started doing math equations in my head and before I knew it, I was mid-piss, proud as fuck for winning.

So yeah, try math. Or spell hard words. Whistling would probably help too. Anything to just take your mind off it I think. I'm hoping this nips this shit in the butt before I actually develop some kind of pissing complex. I don't want to be a problem pisser.
