Are you scared of needles?

[Lord Chin Chin 1,209]

Omg yes, having jabs isnt too bad but i have passed out a few times from having blood taken 😩

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

I’m terrified of them, I always have to look away when I get shots or if I see one on TV

[Splashee 28,563]

Not anymore. I used to when I was young because kids at school liked to be scared of them, and liked to spread fear around.

 

Needles don't really hurt. Injection can hurt, but all the vaccines I have taken the last year or so did not hurt at all.

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

A little bit. Not as much now because I’ve been vaccinated but I still don’t like the feeling.

[Miss 6,229]

Not at all. I actually like the feeling of getting a shot when I go the doctor jaja

[Clawdeen 14,077]

I hate getting shots.

[Envy 6,160]

Shots have been a regular part of my life for over three years now due to illness. I'm quite used to them now. I know the pain will be short, so that's okay. Steroid shots, however, are bad enough to make me nervous. I haven't had to have one in well over a year now, thankfully.

I have to take a blood test basically once every two to three months. I've been doing this for over the last 10 years, so I've gotten used to them. Of course I used to be afraid, but now needles are like nothing.

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

Not afraid of them. I don’t like to watch them being stuck into me or anyone else, but they don’t generally hurt very much and it’s over quick. So no big deal.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,260]

No, the only solution is to look away from them and you won't feel a thing  

[Treeglow Flicker 13,622]

Depends what they contain.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

um yeah!

isnt everyone?

 

(to be clear my phobia of needles isnt any reason why I'm not vaxxed for covid, I've just decided to wait for now for various reasons)

If they're pointed away from me: no.

If they're pointed towards me: yes.

I have no problem giving shots(we have cattle, lots of vaccines multiple times a year), but I hate getting them myself. Too many bad experiences. 

[Reality Check 631]

I don't really mind them, though maybe not the part when they pierce my skin and feels sore for a while

[Sonic Shimmer 4,132]

Yeah, big time. I was shaking like a leaf for both of my Covid vaccine doses.

[Astralshy 26,605]

I'm okay with it, of course not the best entertainment you can have in your free time.

The act of getting a shot itself (needle) is actually not a problem. At least I have good doctors and I've never felt anything.

On the other hand taking blood samples from my arm affects me really strongly every time.

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

I never like to look at them when I get a shot. I can’t even watch other people get shots

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I am a little. I don't like looking at them they make me behave like Twilight over quesadillas. 

[Splashee 28,563]

Still have a shot to take for my tick TBE protection, which will be somewhere around January. I am not the least afraid. Needles are very fine and tiny nowadays and rarely hurt. If they do, it isn't a big deal anymore.

Similar for me. I have to get blood drawn several times a year to check thyroid function. Got over my fear of needles pretty fast.

I usually look the other way tho when getting poked. 

[Savy 5,077]

I am a little. I just try my best not to look at them. ;-;

[Twilight Sparkle97 402]

I'm not really that scared of them. You can barely feel it being injected into your arm. I recently got blood work done and it was painless. 

[RavenholmZombie 1,330]

I used to be extremely afraid of needles up until a few years ago.

Growing up, my experiences with needles were always painful. But then when I needed to get some extra shots before starting college, they just went in and I didn't feel a thing. Now I'm able to take needles like a champ  

[dead account 2,710]

"Love 'em <3", that made me laugh! I had to click, hahaha.

I'm not afraid at all. It doesn't really hurt either. I enjoy watching how the blood goes into the syringe.

[Splashee 28,563]

Today's needles are a joke. I didn't even notice the vaccine shot as it was already over before I was prepared to be afraid of it, lol!
