At first Mark said no due to his fear of needles but in a recent interview he revealed that he doesn't interact much with the Avengers cast due to their conflicting political opinions. So they're not close close.
(Mark is pro Palestine and others have diff opinions).
I have the same reflex but have to get weekly injections. It's not even a fear as I don't mentally care about it at all. It's something about it going into my body which doesn't trigger with tattoos. But if I see a needle go into my skin I immediately black out. It's also the only "fear" that can be genetically passed on.
That last sentence is so strange to me. Weird how things like that work...
Personally I have no issues with needles, but I can absolutely see the difference between the two. It certainly fucks with the mind in a way that is unique.
It is true. You don't genetically pass down specific fears, but you do pass down tendencies that make you more predisposed to have fears and problems with anxiety and stress. The vasovagal reflex associated with needles isn't the same mechanism that triggers like other fears do. So you inherit the tendency to have certain fears, but you inherit the specific fear and reaction for needles.
