Do you fear needles?

So, do you? A lot of people fear needles horribly. I used to, admittedly, but I grew out of it...
Well, at first I never fidgeted during shots, but once I had to have a tetanus shot, and afterwards my arm ached, so I became angry at needles.
I had a horrific blood test, too.
My fear is gone.
 
Oh my God yes ;o;

Beedrill

Aaaaah! Get it away! Get it away! *brings out wasp killer*

Mostly because when I was three, I had to have a shot. In my knee.

What kind of retard gives shots in the knee?

Not to mention that the needle was about as thick as this o
 
Eerp x~x Probably my deepest fear. Don't even know quite why, but that thought is.. aaaarh.
Last time I went to the doc's and had to have one I literally nearly passed out outright, like lightheaded dizzyness to blurred and obscured vision to collapsing backwards into a chair. Don't get me started on blood tests.. haven't even been able to let them do one in a good 8 years.

Not really, no. I am very afraid of having objects stuck in my body - sometimes this even extends to my own bodily organs (my lungs in particular) - but needles are just there for a few seconds.

Piercings, on the other hand...
 
They are the only thing in the world that reduces me from a HUGE, MANLY HUNK OF uh MAN (totally 8D) to a shaking, quivering lump on the ground.

So yes.
 
a bit, yes

I had to get 2 jabs at school before, both times I pretty much shat myself beforehand
 
I'm not scared of needles, but jesus christ the sight of blood in a syringe makes me extremely squeamish.
 
Not needles, no. The blood does, though. They hurt like a bitch, but they don't scare me.
 
Yeah, though not my worst fear. I especially get really squeemish if the thing is directly pointed at me.
 
No.
I think I may get very slightly concerned sometimes due to the potential pain, but the needle itself does not disturb me.
 
N-needles...?

Probably one of the only things I'm scared of, aside from psychological medication (which goes hand-in-hand with this) and basketballs flying at me.

But it's a long story involving aforementioned psych meds, four days in the hospital with an allergic reaction that almost killed me, and around 50 individual blood tests.

*shudders* ><
 
Nah, I'm okay with them. That is, if they aren't draining blood from me. Then I might start crying.
