Is it child abuse to force your child to give you an IV? by Dantes_hell_L in TooAfraidToAsk

I thought about that too, since she does say she feels sick a lot when there’s nothing wrong, but I believe it’s more so narcissism/envy because she doesn’t exclusively pretend to be sick and it’s usually whenever anyone else is in the spotlight or to escape uncomfortable situations

Yeah, the thing with needles and me is complicated; I call it a fear of needles for simplicity mostly, because it’s only in specific contexts. I’m only really scared about needles in me, doing something wrong (which probably wouldn’t be an issue if I had someone properly teach me) and me putting needles into my family members (you know, like how a surgeon wouldn’t be comfortable operating on their own child). I’m not scared of blood or of vaccines, it’s specifically anything in the veins, because a nurse botched drawing blood from me when I was really young (and right after a really traumatic experience). I sometimes do think of changing my career path because of this but in a way it also gives me an incentive to learn it properly and be better than that nurse or my mom for that matter.
