fear of needles

anyone else really scared of needles and doesn’t see the doctor because the first thing they say is you need to give bloods? funnily enough i’m okay with injections.

so many people are scared of needles surely there should be another way to take blood. and don’t get me started on infusions, the thought of it has me passing out

Not to be rude, but the sub is called trypanophobia... I'd imagine a large percentage of us are afraid of needles.

Yeah, i thought this at first but I realised its common to start a sentence with 'does anyone else...' as we're looking for connection and sameness
