Yes, I can relate to a lot of what as described there. I'll bet this is at the root what a large percentage of parcopresis sufferers are going through. I suppose there are other possibilities - traumatic experiences, other hangups involving defecation like concerns about smells etc., but for me and probably many others it's social anxiety. It's interesting how 'accurate' the article seemed. Just wish it went on to describe the cure! Helpful anyway, so thanks for posting the link.
