Paruresis, also known as shy or bashful bladder, is the inability or difficulty to urinate in the presence of other people, when under time pressure, or on vehicles such astrains or airplanes.The affected person can sometimes pass urine only at home and when there are no guests. It is thought to be very common, a phobic condition ranking second to the fear of public speaking. Paruresis may be due to some embarrassing incident connected with difficulty in urination, be it teasing by schoolmates in the public urinal, or abuse as a child. This then causes the person to anticipate the failure to void in a public setting, and somehow the fear becomes self-fulfilling. It is also termed psychogenic urinary retention, since the urinary sphincter responds to stress and fear by constricting instead of relaxing. There is mounting emotional and mental stress whenever the need arises to urinate without absolute privacy being possible. The people affected are characteristically shy and sensitive to others’ disapproval or judgment. It is a form of performance anxiety which turns into an active phobia. The symptoms are characteristic. In moderate to severe cases, they may include a compulsion to ensure total privacy during the act of urination. Thus the affected person cannot tolerate even the possibility of others hearing the sound of urine hitting the urinal or the water in the toilet. The person has a morbid conviction that he is unable to initiate urination in front of others.In order to avoid the possibility of having to go to a toilet outside the home or visit a public urinal, the affected person will refuse to drink fluids if he has to go out shortly. He may reject all invitations to social events, and refuse to take trips. In milder cases, the affected person will not be able to start peeing when in proximity to someone else, as happens at public urinals. He will search for a vacant restroom before trusting himself to urinate.

Then there are no sounds that stand out and catch your attention.Many people believe that white noise contains special therapeutic qualities because it is a similar sound to what we hear in the womb.
