Is it normal to be afraid of pain?

I am afraid of pain. Hurtful words or getting a spot with a needle. Pain is scary. Is this normal?

    It's normal to not enjoy pain and not want to experience pain. What isn't normal is to be obsessively afraid of pain or possible pain. I don't know for sure that you're obsessing about this but the issue must be pretty serious if your asking if it's normal. I wonder if you've ever had a traumatic experience that involved a lot of physical pain that is causing all this anxiety; perhaps an illness or injury?

      I have been hurt a lot involving a lot of physical pain. It caused me to be depressed.

        That's understandable. Most of the pain in my life has been emotional but last year I started developing some Fibromyalgia type symptoms. My Rheumatologist told me I have Myofascial pain.

    Normal. Most people wouldn't want to deal with pain either.

    Pain is all in your mind. I have no issue with stabbing needles into say blood blisters and ripping them open or cutting them off with scissors.
    I have a high pain tolerance though so I dont find it all that bad to chop bits of my body up.
    Hell I even enjoy it, i'm a masochist/sadist so i suppose it's all good.. For me! >D

    P.s. You've not experienced pain until you've fallen down an up escalator or broken/dislocated a bone at the same time

    You don't know true pain until you have recieved a thousand pieces of glass shrapnel from a Molotov cocktail in your face. If anyone wants to go through the experience I would be happy to oblige.

    RoseIsabella is spot on. I think everyone dreads pain, some fear less intense pain than others but if it's disrupting your normal life you might have a problem.

    Hurtful words or getting a spot with a needle??? Those things don't register on my scale of pain.

    I think that is most people, yes. Though some won't admit it, and others have even been conditioned to not be sensitive to it, so it doesn't bother them.
