I don't fear needles at all. I don't LIKE them, but I don't fear them. 😃

I used to give blood regularly, figured since it was so easy for me I ought to (never had anyone have to try more than once to find the vein, always fill the donation bag thingy quickly, never felt faint, etc.) but now my iron's too low to donate more than once a year or so. And I ended up getting stuck with all kinds of needles when I was pregnant - blood tests, steroid shots, amniocentesis, IV for the c-section, spinal anesthesia, ugh...worth it, though. 😀

Last time I gave blood, I guess they didn't get the bandage on tight enough or something; as I was walking over to the snack table I felt a weird warm feeling on my arm & looked down to see a nice stream of blood coursing down my arm & dripping all over the floor. 🤢 I think I just said "ehhhh I'm bleeding, can I get some help?"

It's not exactly a fear, but the idea of surgery completely creeps me out. 🤢

i don't fear needles to. unless i see it when they draw blood from me. if i don't see it i can't feel a thing. but when i see it, OH MY GOD!!! THERE'S A NEEDLE INSIDE ME!!

i don't really have a fear of needles but have a fear of getting blood tests b/c first, the nurses has trouble finding the spot, and second, when they do find the spot and poke the needle in, no blood comes out and the nurses wondering why and starts to poke around in my arm 🤢 . either they do that or they say they want to try another arm but lucky for the blood starts to flow before they start poking the needle around >.< or decides to switch arms. i don't know why but this happens alot, its scary 🙁

You should see when they blotch up the IV needle that goes up the top of your hand..........blood slpurts all over the place like in those gore films...interesting experience though.

I thought that arteries would do that splat, but veins wouldn't. Most probably, if that happened to you, the blood would flow rather than splat (and the splat is due to pulse, which is only significant in arteries, not veins).

My deepest, darkest secret is something I'll never mention, even though I think I've ignored it too much for the most part and that I'll have to come to terms with myself on the matter.

Here's something less serious, I choked someone in fourth grade, for some reason I didn't get punished (not really), I just got a short lecture "Sometimes I feel like punching [Insert Student Name] because he's annoying but I don't do it, you have to control yourself..." I don't remember the rest, that was from the lunch lady. My homeroom teacher (god love him) said, "Boys will be boys" and let me off. To be fair the other student was as annoying as hell and the teacher hated him too. I don't think teachers need to tell parents about stuff like this, children learn, while I might have had maybe two other less serious outbursts afterwards I doubt I'll resort to physical means ever again, I just don't like hurting people.

I'm afraid of bugs, rodents, heights (not so much anymore), the dark (not so much anymore), and me driving (you know how a lot of kids want to learn to drive and their parents dread everything to do with it, in my case it's the opposite.

Well it's being drawn by a needle and it went out the tubing like a hose. They didn't close a valve or something.

Obviously not. I stopped. I kinda snapped then came to my senses.

Actually it was spur of rage for a stupid reason i forgot about.(i had "berserker" streak as a kid)i took a stick and hit his back real hard that the stick broke. And he was still 5! bones are soft at a young age. Good thing there was no permanent damage

Deep dark secret: .....thinks I don't really have one... most people who went to elementary school with me don't know that I got in trouble in 5th grade for telling a kid that I wished he had been born in Nazi Germany.

Fear: Dying.... but I assume everyone is scared of dying. Getting some kind of cancer, because I'm not good with pain.

Que sera sera.
