Is it normal to be mad when people say i'm scared of needles?

Seriously? Who really likes them? It's not like people go around begging for a disease where they have to shoot up all the time.

    Funny thing about irrational fears they're IRRATIONAL. Deal with people's faults. They deal with yours.

    I freak out and vomit and scream and cry at the sight of a needle. Idk why, that's just how it goes I guess?

    I know people who would freak if they even say a needle. And I'm not scared of needles, I don't even dislike them... I'm a piercing addict, so needles and I are good friends. Point being... There are plenty of different ways to look at the same thing. :)

    My ex sister in law always said she was scared of needles and freaked when she had to go for any blood tests. Then she got a tattoo... WTF??

    yeah like someone above said, theres a difference between not liking them and actually being scared. most people dont like needles, but i know a girl who vompletely freaks out at the thought of needles. she cant even look at them without crying and panicing.

    Getting blood out of me is beyond the wit of most medical professionals. On the seventh or eighth sortie around the same target, they sometimes get lucky. Same can't be said for me as I develop huge bruises and can barely bend my arm for a couple of days.

    I'm not scared but I definitely feel apprehension. If I said I was scared, I'd hope people would give me enough latitude to realise what I mean. Although, if anything, I'd imagine the people getting upset would be the phobics who are genuinely terrified.

    I don't see why it bothers you so much.

        Hmm, how come vampires don't all have scarred necks? Someone must have turned them into a vampire in the first place.

            Grr! Has somebody changed the world while I was asleep? I don't feel like I know anything today. I'm a very confused little bear.

    Um... You're confusing "fear vs no fear" with "dislike vs like". The two are not the same thing.

    I know some people who actually get SCARED when they have to get injections. They get nervous and panicky at the sight or thought of having the hypodermic needle pierce their skin.

    Now me... I don't get that way. I am pretty apathetic about getting shots. Sure it hurts and I don't really enjoy the pain ... but it just doesn't do anything to make me scared or upset.
