It is part of the body fight or flight syndrome. If your body perceives a threatening situation your brain will evaluate the situation and will decide whether to fight or fly away. In your situation your brain has decided to fly and thus it has sub-consciously ordered the emptying of your bowels to make easier for you to run away by making you lighter.

It is normal it just means that you are feeling anxious....it may be that your insides have tightened up form become so nervous like when you clench your fists together..... Do not feel this is abnormal.

Its called irritable bowel syndrome. allot of people get it. apparently our emotions can effect our body functions.

HA HA, Love your honesty! Very normal reaction for introvert, shy people. My ex used to hold us up for 10-15 mins before we could leave the house.Didn't matter if we had company waiting for him to get it over with or not.
