Better shy than not shy. I swear to you...talk about TMI...but I remember when I volunteered for this cat shelter at PetSmart, every single time I went to pee, there was a woman in there who used to blow these huge farts and SHE KNEW I WAS IN THERE. I could never do that, being shy in public restrooms, in general. Now imagine me being in jail, girl. As it was, I had a hard enough time peeing even with a chair used as a 'shield' in front of my cellmate, and they were all good enough of course to read a book or avert their eyes or be sleeping, but still. And taking number two? Forget it. I had to use the bathroom outside near the shower stalls. It was just too much and something I'll never, ever get used to sharing a cell with someone about that kind of thing.
In Japan, the solution to this is to hold down the flush handle while you pee - it disguises the noise. It got so common that, I shit you not (hee hee pun), toilets there in public restrooms now come equipped with a "flushing sound" button (because it would waste so much water).
I have this problem, too! A lady janitor was recently hired and she is ALWAYS in the bathroom, no matter what time of day I go in there. If she were cleaning, it would be one thing, but she's always just sitting in obe of the stalls, being completely silent. Whether I come in just to wash my hands or struggle to pee in the complete absence of sound, she never moves or makes a sound. I figured at first she also had a shy bladder or that her intestinal problems are worse than mine, but after over a month of this, I'm starting to think she naps in there, because her feet are just...in a weird position, it's impossible not to notice). It's so frustrating to my shy bladder. Not to mention those intestinal problems.
