killamch89 Posted December 9, 2024 Posted December 9, 2024 I’ve always wondered, how many people actually have a fear of needles? Whether it’s for shots, blood draws, or just the thought of getting pricked, does the idea of needles freak you out? If you’re scared, what do you do to manage it? And for those who aren’t, how do you stay calm when it’s your turn?
Cpvr Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 (edited) I don’t have a fear of needles. I have a few tattoos. I also have to get blood drawn every couple of months for routine medical check ups. Edited December 26, 2024 by Cpvr

I don't fear needles either - I mean, the injections do hurt but I've felt way more pain from things like stubbing my toe, lol.
The Blackangel Posted December 28, 2024 Posted December 28, 2024 When I was a kid (like in my 20’s) I was terrified of needles. After my first tattoo, that fear went away. Now I actually watch them put a needle in me.
