Are you scared of needles?

I've been getting blood tests every few months to every six months for the past ten years. I think in the last year or so, I've gotten six. Shots are fine. Most shots don't hurt (except for the tetnus and HPV shots.) When I was little, I used to ask my doctor if there were any extra shots I could have. Blood tests suck because sometimes they take five tubes of blood and then you feel like fainting and it's not a good feeling at all.
 
I don't really care. I can watch them poke me no problem. It's never bothered me.
 
i used to have to be restrained when i had my blood drawn for labs, but once i was diagnosed with a medical condition that required frequent blood draws i eventually got over my fear of needles. and now for a living i do that same thing, sticking needles in people's arms. haha. still makes me a little uncomfortable, but it's not as bad now because i know the process of whats going on- but i do get annoyed when i notice people doing something wrong, especially when the needles already in my arm and i'm just screaming internally for them to pop my tourniquet already or to please remove the tube from the hub bc they're gonna vacuum my blood out and blow my damn vein if they pull the needle out any farther..
 
when it comes to sewing, i really dont care about the needle itself, but im a wuss when it comes to injections
 
I don't like needles. They don't terrify me necessarily, but I'm not a fan. It's only when you combine my discomfort with needles with my absolute fear of blood that I really dread it. My friend and I decided to give blood together to conquer our fear of it and it was the worst experience I'd had in a very long time.
 
Not scared, I just hate blood test because my blood pressure is low asf and I p much faint whenever they take one. Regular injections when they don't keep the needle in I don't "mind" though
 
no, i don't mind them at all to be honest. i actually find it a little fascinating to watch the blood flow into the container during blood tests...
 
I have needle phobia and will avoid injections at all costs.

I don't mind sowing needles/pins though, in fact i play with them when I'm bored LOL
 
Doesn't bother me. My only issue with them was when I had the Gardasil vaccinations back in school, and we received three of them over a course of several months, and I had an allergic reaction to them every single time.
 
I think "love them" is a strange response. I don't love them, but they don't bother me a lot. I am not especially afraid of them.

I hate getting shots :(
Its a combination of the pain + the thought of something sharp poking and going.. I used to cry whenever I got them up until about 2 years ago? I still hold my mom's hand, then once they're done I run to the bathroom and laugh/cry and try to calm down. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. My friends used to tease me by giving detailed explanations of their experiences getting blood drawn and they pissed me off made me cry.. Another time my friend had a pen that looked like a needle and chased me around the room with it, I don't think she realized how much it scared me until I gave up running and cried OTL
 
not as much anymore, but i don't particularly like them either lol. i can get piercings and stuff and that's not scary, but injections are nerve wracking. but also i got a series of like 3 shots over like a number of months, and that helped. exposure therapy~
