I have a fear of unfamiliar toilets. Like public toilets in restaurants and in other people's houses. In a train station toilet I had to run out of the toilet because I just felt this panic. Am I the only person on the planet who get this or does anyone else here get this?
Not really. I am very disgusted by some public toilets and I don't like when toilets are crowded and I really don't like urinals because I feel uncomfortable peeing next to others. But I've never panicked in a restroom.
I had that fear when I was around 15. I didn't go to the toilet even in school and instead tried everything to hold it in. I trained myself to not need to pee and I remember how panicked I got when the school day was too long and I couldn't hold it in for that many hours. I needed to be completely alone to even consider going. My friends always wondered where I had wandered off to and never knew. I don't remember how I grew more comfortable with that. While I'd never go in a train station (it's gross, really) I have no problems in restaurants or friend's houses.
I hear you. Public bathrooms are disgusting, and being an aspie, the loud sound of industrial toilet flushing is hard on the ears.
I'm not afraid of toilets lol I just don't use public toilets because guys tend to be disgusting in public bathrooms and I don't have a small bladder so I only have to use the bathroom 2-3 times a day
I agree. And the sound of dryers. I hate public bathrooms and avoid them as much as possible. As for ones at other people's homes, I don't really care as long as it's private enough. Obviously I'd rather...um..."go"...at home, but that's not always an option. Also living a lot of places has made me more used to different bathrooms lol.
