I have the worst phobia of needles. I dont care if my life depended on it, im NEVER doing that again.


I dont care about admitting all this. People can think whatever they like.

That used to be my reaction to flying, but with necessity, I overcame it.

Dentist doesn't worry me, giving blood, or doing blood tests doesn't worry me. But the sight of lots of my own blood escaping my body from some form of injury usually results in me fainting (small amounts are OK - large quantities I go to jelly).
