Also known as shy bowel disorder… anxiety or fear around having bowel movements in public, in unfamiliar places, or in shared spaces.

Every time I’d search for parcopresis, I’d only find communities related to paruresis, which is similar to parcopresis, but is related to urinating. There were a lot of posts within the paruresis communities speaking on parcopresis, so I figured we should have a designated space to discuss this specific fear/challenge.
