Have you ever given / would you ever give blood?

I have given blood before yes. I believe my blood is O+
 
Eew giving blood. I have given samples, and no, it's very awkward (if not painful) when you feel the blood sucking out of you.

Though you do get money which is a huge plus.

Also I think I'm an AB~ something like that. Never bothered to care much c:

Edit: If you're wondering why I needed to have samples drawn, it was because I was going psycho so they had to take me to the mental ward. Not one of my proudest moments, but 7 vials of blood? Yeah, that's a lot of blood.

No. After hearing how it's actually done, there is no way I'm giving blood. If it was just from a vein in the upper arm or wrist or whatever that'd be fine, but the elbow? Just ick, no.

(Andy if you were lying I'ma look pretty dumb now.)
 
I've never given blood, but I don't really see why not. I also don't know what my blood type is... :(
 
I haven't donated blood before, but even if it was for a good cause, I still feel squeamish about the thought of giving up my own blood.
 
I'm either O+ or O-, but I don't remember which now. I've needed to receive blood quite a lot of times in my life so far so I've got a pretty huge respect for anyone who does get over any fear or whatever that they have and gives it. I'd love to give it myself, but I'm not able to for medical reasons rather than fear reasons.
 
No, no, no, no, no. Even though the act of giving blood is valiant and respectable, it's not for me, purely because I'd vomit the second I walked into wherever they take the blood, let alone when the procedure is being done itself. I'd do it if I weren't so queasy, though.
I have no idea what my blood type is, actually. I remember asking my dad a while ago, but I've forgotten what his answer was. I'm fairly sure it was a common blood type, though.
 
I will never give blood, because of a story my fiancee told me. She gave blood twice, and the second time she gave she got sick. She couldn't go back to her classes because she was so weak, and when it was time to go home she got up and well... she threw up. :\ At least the people were keeping an eye on her and got a bucket. :V
 
I'm very small in stature, so I've never met the minimum weight requirements to give blood. But even if I did, I'd be too terrified of the needle to give it anyway.
 
Oh god I just can't. First, I hate needles. I'm nineteen and I still cry when I have to get blood drawn just for a physical or whatever. Second, I hate the smell of those places. My dad used to give plasma when I was younger and it seriously made me nauseous just being in the building. Third, I don't think my body could handle that for some reason? idk last time I just had to have blood drawn it took like a week and a half for the spot to heal and I don't think that's normal. :x But yeah the money for plasma has always been rather enticing and it's a good cause etc but I just can not.

And I don't know my blood type lol. I intend to ask every time I end up at the doctor's (not often) but then they stick needles in me and the resulting panic kind of distracts me.
 
I've always wanted to give blood because then I could find out what my blood type is. It seems like an important thing to know, just in case. The trouble is that every time I see one of those blood drive vans I'm always on my way to work or doing something else time-sensitive and can't stop, and I don't know how I can go about donating any other way.
 
I cant give blood because Im under the weight you're spposed to be to guve blood. If I could though, I wouldnt mind. My blood type is O+
 
I've never given blood and can't. I'm too underweight to give it. Even if I could, I wouldn't. I'm just too afraid of needles and such and wouldn't be able to do it without freaking out. Not sure of my blood type either.
 
No/no. I mean it not offencibly, but I do not at present find goodwill in charitability toward humankind.
Regardless, giving a vital part of myself away doesn't sit well in my mind, even if it is replaceable.

Maybe one day I will, but even the though of it makes me tense up. And tense is not the greatest thing to be when someone's sticking a needle in your arm. I really wish I would just go do it though, since I probably would feel good about it. Well, probably good and sick simultaneously.
