Needles

So, I'm afraid of needles. I also don't like the way it is spelled when I write it out here. I don't know where it stems from. Some things just don't help my fear though. Like this guy:
I got stiches once. I thought it hurt a lot. My mom keeps telling me that I have tough skin. I don't know what that's means. I also don't like getting shots. This picture doesn't help either:
I don't like the doctor or "service" as they are called at certain institutions. The whole drip with out of focus service is a bit daunting.
