I'm the same. Its very difficult to use the restroom with others present. Generally I just use the stall, even to just pee. I find it much easier. Just act like I'm taking a crap. Though I do hate it when the bottom of the stall is really high. The one at my work is seriously like a foot and a half off the ground. Its ridiculous. You can basically see the person's butt when they're sitting if you walk in the restroom.

I also find it incredibly difficult to go if others are waiting on me for their turn. Two instances of this come to mind. The first was a drug test I had to do to get hired for a job. I swear, I was at the place for like 3 hours before I finally went. I went back to the bathroom several time to use the restroom and couldn't do it, would come back out, let a few others go, and then try again. Finally, literally 5 minutes before they closed I managed to pee. If I hadn't been able to go before they closed I would have failed the test. The lady was really nice about it and let me go get a soda at the gas station to help.

The second instance I was at a fair or something and they had a porta potty there. Unfortunately the idiots who ran the place only had TWO of them. One for men and one for women. I had to pee BAD. I stood in like for like 20 minutes, finally got in there, and just COULD NOT GO. It was a mental thing since so many people were waiting on me. After about 2 minutes of trying I gave up and left. I got in my car, drove to the nearest gas station, and then went almost immediately and it was a huge relief of discomfort.

My previous job had a single restroom that you could lock the door and it was awesome.
