This is about needles to draw blood or give an injection ... not sewing needles.
I voted 7.
I can't watch a needle go in me.
I look away and breath deeply and tell the phlebotomist to give me a 3 2 1 countdown so I don't jump.
I don't think I could ever give myself an injection, even if my life depended on it.
Oddly, I don't mind shots in my mouth from my dentist.
Those are low-anxiety because I trust my dentist since he is so skilled, gentle and considerate.
