my grandma doesn't care what rationale i use, as long as i don't get a tattoo or piercing. i've been fancying the piercing more though (a small one, like the nose, nothing extreme or kinky (like the tongue or c**t))
i know i hate the needles. immunizations were a nightmare as a kid (i was always afraid it would break off in my arm/hip and they'd never get it out), and if i can help it, i still don't like it, but dealing with them now is getting better.
the blood. obviously, as a girl, i have to handle it some, and can tolerate the sight if it's my own, but not other people's. i see lots of blood from other people, i get sick to my stomach. i don't even watch horror movies (especially slasher flicks) because, yes i know it isn't real blood, but like seeing the wound where the blood is coming from makes me hurt. i've joked and said it's a fourth wall problem or a projection problem or an empathy problem, where i feel what i see the other person has (they're gushing blood from their neck, per se, i feel the gash on my own neck, although there isn't really one), and during action or horror movies, it's literally painful

I used not to be scared of blood. In fact, I was a regular blood donor for over a year. Then I had this bad phlebotomist who carelessly knocked the needle out of my arm before she taped it down. Caused my blood to spill everywhere. Since then, I've tried to give blood again five times and have only succeeded once because my pulse skyrockets too high to donate. I keep thinking about that incident; it's been over two years and it still bothers me.
It's more other people's blood that bothers me. I'm comfortable enough with my own despite my tensing up when I try to donate it. When I bleed, I know if I'm ok or not. With someone else, I don't care if it's just a minor cut or scrape. Anything more serious makes me uncomfortable.

I'm fine with my own blood but I can't deal with other people's blood. I think its more a mental thing in my case though...

when i was a kid, we went to the fair and got some fun helium balloons.
when we got home we let them go inside and they bounced all over and a couple went up the stairs, but one poked a piece of molding or something and got a leak and fell to the floor and got all shrivelled up.
i cried, but mom hugged me and said balloons are not made to last forever, if they cannot hold their air inside they will just shrivel up, that's how they are.
next day i got cut falling off my Big Wheel in the driveway, and flew into a panic.
i sat there screaming and shaking and nothing anybody could do could stop me, until they put the bandaid on.
"Honey, what's so scary? You've had booboos before."
"i am leaking! the stuff inside me is all leaking out and then i will be all shrivelled up on the ground, and dead!"
so that is how my fears got started.
years later after taking many shots for many reasons i am perfectly calm about it.
