    Needles don’t hurt me, they just scare me and make me panic to the point of tears.

    What I hate the most is the fact that when you start crying and start freaking out, the doctors, nurse's, and even your own parent or family member starts laughing and say "it only feels like a pinch!" And tell you to not be scared but it's like telling you, hey, don't be scared to die or some be scared if your biggest fear you have.

    I just pinch myself to get an idea of how the needle would feel like

    Bro that kid in the beginning is a master. He literally looked at the shot and smiled at it. And me, I need to hold onto my mom while I get my shot-

    That kid is way braver than I am. He smiled the whole time those nurses gave him the shots.

    i’m getting shots tomorrow, it’s 2 AM and i’ve been bawling my eyes out thinking about it. ever since i can remember i’ve been terrified of needles. i think it’s because when i was 3 i got 8 shots in my legs. but i still can’t stand them. anytime i see someone who got a shot, or is getting one, i get a very weak weird feeling in that area. and if i know where i’m getting the shot, i get the same feeling. even finger pricks make me get anxiety. and that’s my rant 💖✨

    I'm almost 16, and ever since I was a little baby I've cried when getting shots.

    It’s not the pain that makes it scary it’s the thought of something breaking your skin and an unknown fluid substance that makes it scary

    I am 14 and no matter what, I cry with anything to do with needles. Not full blown sobbing, but uncontrollable crying. Tears run down my face. No matter what, I am terrified to get blood done to test for anemia. Even getting quick shots scares me. I tried everything but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get over this phobia.
