Eh, I can handle them. I try to donate blood when I can, so I do volunteer to be poked sometimes.

I'm kind of scared of them. I'll usually be okay with getting shots if I don't watch it being done.

I've given blood for 40 years - so I've come to terms with the necessity for needles.

I don't care for needles much but it's easy to learn that they're no big deal. Just face up to it a couple of times and concentrate on relaxing/breathing calmly. For me, it got easier each time until finally it was just...nothing!

Have tattoos and piercings but not a fan of needles! I don't enjoy it, I tolerate it.

I can tolerate needles if medically needed, but I border on hating them.

Needles don't freak me out. However, there are some medication that hurt like an SOB when they're injected! I can handle a regular ol' shot without more than a wince, but that damn Depo Provera being injected into my muscle can really hurt sometimes. It's strange because one doctor who sometimes gives it to me, I rarely find it painful going in, but a couple others doing it hurts so much I've even said "ouch!" I don't know if what the difference is.

For me, the needles aren't a big deal. They don't scare me and I don't get anxious or anything over them.

If it's work or a tattoo or I know about it's presence ahead of time I can keep collect and calm. If it's startles me I'm like "NOOOOOOOOPE!"

Not afraid, but I can think of many other things I'd rather be doing than getting stuck with a needle

I cry and lose my mind when I have to give blood, but shots are tolerable.

I don't like getting blood drawn b/c i have small rolling veins and i've had the (four to five) attempts to find the vein and no dice, by then i'm just anxious and in pain and upset and i hate it. I have to drink like a gallon of water before i go in so blood actually comes out. It's a pain in the buns. But I can get shots no problem, I have allergy treatment with two shots once a week.

Nope. I get so terrified of needles that I usually pass out, and vomit sometimes.

I have been getting allergy shots in both arms for 6 years now, so I have grown accustomed to them.
