Needles
I hear so many people say they hate needles and I've never totally understood this.
 Sure they don't feel amazing but they're over so quickly that I don't really understand the irrational adult fear of them.  Soooo.....explain yourselves all you chickens!

I can't do IV needles, never could, probably never will. I have no problem with tattoo needles (got five tats right now, looking for more), and I can take needles anywhere else without problem, but I can't do IV needles. I seize when I have to give blood. They're excessively painful to me, and when they're in my arm, I get an awful metallic taste in my mouth. It's probably all psychosomatic, but I can't take it. I'm just now getting ok at watching the nurses put in a line at work, but I still get light headed half the time. It's the one thing that really stops me from going to school to be a PA.

Never really had a problem with them. I've given blood a few times and am going to start giving plasma next monday.

I have no rational answer. I just go into freak mode when someone comes at me with a needle. However once theyve stuck me once, or put in the iv or whatever, I could care less and actually like to look at it up close, from a purely curious standpoint. But as to why I hate them so much,
 , I can only think it may have been back when I was like 3 (yes I remember) and some jerk stuck me really hard when I got a shot and I never forgot it.

needles scare me but i do ok with them, i just can't watch the needle going in. I can't take novacaine though, the past few times i had cavities, i had them drill without the novacaine.

However, the part in Saw (don't remember which one) where the girl gets pushed into the pit of needles made me cringe, a lot.
