((Me: oh, yeah, I’m afraid of needles
Friend: but your diabetic.
Me: ...and?
Friend: That’s like illegal, you can’t be diabetic and afraid of needles, that’s like a swimmer afraid of the water!
Me: I can still be afraid of needles, yes I must give them to myself but I’m still not a fan. I do it because without them I could die. I’m human, I can be afraid of things that are keeping me alive. Just because I have to give them doesn’t mean I don’t feel fear, I just do it because I have to. Without it I could die. So it’s death or face my fears. Diabetics are people too, we aren’t just creatures who stab ourselves with needles. ))
