Are you afraid of needles?

Generally, they often terrify children (especially when they have to go to the doctor). However, many adults - more than we can imagine - are also afraid of them (and in some cases, it is almost something that borders on panic)... They are the dreaded: needles. How do you deal with them?

I don't fear them, but I don't like them. I look away and concentrate on a dot on the wall.

I don't like them and whenever I have to get one I don't look. I look in the opposite direction.

Even I am an adult now, I am still very scared of the needles. When I have to get a shot, usually I will avoid looking at the needles

You would be amazed at the men who come to the hospital all tatooed up that are afraid of needles. Boggles my mind!

I am not afraid of needles at all. whenever I get a blood test I always stare at them when getting into my vein, I also love seeing my red blood.

No. I am not afraid of them. I know men who are very afraid. One of them fainted when he saw the needle.
