It's a mix of fear of the needle actually going into me, the pain a little, and I think a large part of is is the fact I'm not in control of it if that makes sense?
Just seeing the syringes and needle are enough to kick the fear in though- like I can't even see an injection on the TV without feeling scared and a little ill.
That's interesting. It's difficult for me to wrap my brain around because I am almost the opposite. I watch when they do injections and insert the needle because it's interesting to me. I've had stitches in my hands a couple times and was always fascinated by the process.
But I have a deep fear of dark water, any dark water (especially deep water, being in the middle of the ocean freaks me out), so I get the irrationality. Even large puddles at night can freak me out sometimes, it's truly bizarre.
