So, after reading my last blog you may be wondering how poop can change someone’s views of the world. A great example can be seen in one of the comments that was left. One user expressed that it was normal for her and her family to talk about poop and pee at the dinner table, even in restaurants. If I would have mentioned any type of bodily function at the dinner table, I probably would have been denied food for a week or two.
Note: I will now sometimes refer to poop as “ship” in lieu of the profane word that is commonly used for solid excretions.
The way we react to our bodies affects the way we look at the world. People who like to talk about their poop are more likely to be more outgoing, confident, relaxed, and extroverted than those who keep their ship to themselves. Those who do not like to talk about their poop are usually more quiet, reserved, and stiff. Some cultures are accepting of poop, while others consider the discussion of the solid waste product to be taboo.
The way a culture responds to poop can help to shape the way it responds to the rest of the world. Many of the cultures that are less accepting of poop are also less accepting of new ideas. Left-handed people, for example, may feel unwelcome in some of the Middle East countries that only use the left hand for post-defecation cleaning methods. The groups that feel this way do not accept the fact that some people are born left-handed and would like to perform other tasks with the left hand as well. Failure to adjust even after realizing that handedness is a result of genetic inheritance also reflects the concept that the culture may be less accepting of other new ideas as well.
Basically, if you’re not comfortable with ship, you may not be comfortable with many things. Poop can reveal many things about a person. What do your doodoo and dookie habits have to say about you?
As always, if you liked or even didn't like my blog please rate it. I will do the same for you.

I don't like body secrections but I am not reserved I am actually a mix of both. When I feel like being outgoing I am. When I don't I can seem quiet. I guess it just depends. I am weird anyway lol.
Good blog I like your poo series.

Love comments? I do too!
Bleh poop. I have no problem with it but that's probably because at my house, we're a little more open with our bodily functions. It's almost a weekly occurance that I hear my mom talk about traveling and not being able to poop and "omg! my toilet just clogged because of how big my poop was." I usually reply with just a "thanks mom, that was really gross and I hope you never have that problem again."
Also, my friends and I are very open. We talk about having to poop etc without any weird looks or judgement. So I know I may sound a bit weird now and to be honest I don't enjoy having long conversations about poop or "ship" as you call it, but it doesn't really bother me. I feel we all do it and there isn't anything to be ashamed of or to hide.

I had a friend that used to tell "unflushable turd" stories. It was gross and funny at the same time. There's a website similar to hotornot, but with poop. I forgot the name of it, but somehow my husband and I stumbled across it one night. It was sickly amusing.

it makes me vomit, which gives my husband and sister all sorts of perverse pleasure.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has seen it before. There's definitely some diverse poo out there, and it's definitely disgusting.

I would have to disagree with you to an extent. How you feel about poop doesn't necessarily say much about your personality otherwise. While my family tends to have no trouble discussing poop (and even calling you into the bathroom to witness the wrap-around-the-toilet-8-times poop or the should-have-bought-some-paddles-called-it-a-party-barge-and-rowed-it-down-the-river poo), it's never been something I was particularly interested in or comfortable discussing. I prefer not to discuss it at all, generally loathe having to poo in public and still refuse to allow my husband into the bathroom even if I'm spewing at both ends miserable. I'm generally much more outgoing, bubbly, relaxed and confident than most of my family members, even though they'd be way ahead of me in the line to discuss poop. I'm also much more flexible and more capable of handling crisis while they tend to fall apart at the first hint of looming disaster. I do see where for some it may be the other way around... but around here it tends to be the complete opposite.

True, I'm sure there are exceptions out there. I do think that at least being comfortable and accepting of your bodily functions will cause one to be more confident in other areas, even if that person doesn't boast and brag about their fecal matter.
