Are you scared of needles?

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

Eh - I usually don't look at them, but I have a tendency to trust modern technology to a fault. I certainty wouldn't say that I love them, but they don't scare me.

[FadedSkies 1,874]

I dont mind getting them but when i look at it going through my skin it kinda freaks me out. Even when watching movies and theres a scene where they need to inject something in someone i always look away.

[Dawnbreaker 71]

I don't know why, I like to get shots.

Needles used to terrify me, but now they are not so bad (still don't look forward to them though)

[Spirk Burkham 93]

I am absolutely terrified of medical equipment and apparatuses . however, I am not as scared of needles as I am of blood pressure gauges.

They used to when I was younger, but not so much anymore. I don't take needles much these days anyway.

[Inactive01 5,299]

I can imagine being scared of needles because it's a really painful process if you place the needle at the wrong spots. Heck, when I was injected with chicken pox vaccine a few weeks back, it was really painful because apparently the injection triggered a lot of the pain receptors on my skin. 

 

However, I'm not really scared of them. I know what the pain feels like and I can anticipate it whenever the doctor injects the needle. What I'm really scared of is the possibility that the needle may not be completely sterile, which can lead to a number of health problems...

its not the needle that really scares me. its the fact that I don't like surgical stuff in general

and the feel so fucking WEIRD

Nooooo needles for me, please. Ever. Keep them away from me, needles and I are not friends, I'm getting a restraining order against needles, needles are banned from my life. 

 

 

 

I hate needles.

No cause I'm diabetic. I take 3 shots a day.

[Neutral 1,185]

Well I'm not sure if I like the, or not. I had no needle in me since I was born.

[Christmasy Britty 2,553]

never liked needles they always freak me out whenever I see them coming at me in fact I can't see the needle in my arm or else I pass out

[Lucky Star 972]

I'd sooner give a snake a kiss, than willingly go near a Doctor holding a needle..... even if the needle wasn't for me, I'm that freaked out by them xD LOL.

[Saroth 102]

I'm fine with them mostly. The worst was when I had a vaccination prick in my arm a few years ago. The needle didn't hurt at all, but further in the day the entire upper part of my arm started hurting. By the end of the day it was in agony. I'm never sure why that happened but it hurt like all hell.

[Revy ~ Two Hands 862]

I'm not crazy about needles. 

[Giygas 40]

I'm not scared of needles since I'm scared of diseases, and vaccines protect against diseases... so yeah.

[catnet 9,356]

Not sure why, but I've had pretty tame experiences with them so far, and the closest I've come to being scared is just discomfort about holding out my arm. I'm okay with them, pretty much, but I do feel a little happier once I'm done with them.

[Grim Mortis 106]

Get a syringe near me and I WILL show you the very definition of pain.

[DND 2,355]

Needles I can deal with, but drawing blood, the method with a suction tube and sharp edge into your vein, a little less so- the pinching actually hurts to real, persistent uncomfortably. I don't ever want experience drawing blood again.

[Sugar Cube 4,843]

Nope. Like I've said before, sometimes a needle can be your best friend. If getting poked by that needle means that I get to feel better and carry on with life, then I'm going to go for it, no matter how sharp and horrifying it looks.

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

I can get shots or give blood just fine but for some reason I always pass out like 10 minutes later

[Pastel 7,630]

Strangely, no. I've never really been scared of needles even though they hurt.

[Lost 1,410]

Not really, ive had tattoo work done and that never bothered me at all. There was a short time where i did have a small fear of needles brought on by having someone miss my vain multiple times when trying to put a needle in.

[Guest]

I'm not sure. When I had my Tetanus jab in school, I wasn't bothered by it, but, the thought of having a blood test would make me want to kick the needle out of the nurses/doctors hand. 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,242]

I am absolutely terrified of needles. x_x Like, the sheer thought of what they do makes me cringe with anxiety. The sheer thought of something so small penetrating human flesh is so horrific to me. I am scared of a lot of things and needles are way up there. Standard shots are not too bad, but anything above that, nope. Nu uh. Nooooo thank you.
