I have a problem with urinating when I think there are other people listening. If there is enough constant noise in the bathroom I have no problem but as soon as it is quiet no matter how hard I try I can't make myself go. Usually I have to wait until everyone leaves the bathroom, strike up random conversations to make some noise, or wait until there is a lot of noise. I really want to get rid of this problem because it annoying and a waste of time. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

That just it, I don't care if they listen. Also as long as there is no one else in the bathroom I have no problem with complete silence.

Another thing, I live in a dorm so I don't have the option of "training" myself at home.

Run the sink water and hum.making enough noise.or even flush the toilet while your urinating.we all have our little idiosyncrasies.I most always flush then begin peeing .then flush again after I am thru, for some reason.but I dont think about it, about why. I just do it, so dont worry. worry is bad, having faith is good.if you worry about this you worry about other things, Dont worry, have faith,wishing you the best, Dawg.

If you're at home, it shouldn't matter to you or anybody else if you make any noise because isn't home where you're totally free to be yourself with the people who loves you?
Now if you're in a public place, let's say the movies, if you listen other people don't care if they make noise then don't you worry if you do.
If you are with your boyfriend just let him go first, is he worried if he made noise? I'm sure he doesn't...
My point is that urinating is a natural physiological need, nothing to be ashamed of..So just let it go. I mean it in a nice way.

You are not alone, a lot of people have this problem, me included. You have to train your mind to be stronger than your subconscious mind. Try think of other things like running water or a waterfall or waves splashing up against a rock. Hope this helps, I know it did me. GOOD LUCK

Yeah, just get a piss on you attitude. YOu would be amazed at how much they AREN'T paying attention to you. You are in a designated peeing area, its wierder that you dont pee.
Picture this, you are too shy to clap your hands at a music concert. Are you standind out because you end up clapping with everyone else, or are you standing out because you aren't clapping?

Force yourself to urinate when there is complete silence. It will be extremelly uncomfortable at first, but after doing this several times it won't make you as anxious because you'll be so used to it.

I would say practice. (I know it sounds strange)
But if you can do it home in silence, you can build up to public places.
I just don't focus on the strangness of others listening. If they don't want to hear it-they can run out. :)

Whoa. Your subconscious IS the better of you.
Your imagination has run away with your senses.
