After watching this video I'm 100% sure that I'm tough.

This guy must really hate getting shots!

As someone who had to give himself shots for years, it's important to note that they'll hurt a LOT less if you don't tense up your muscles. Keep em loose and you'll barely feel it.

It's an illogical fear to needles.
Don't be too hard on him, it's not his fault.
It could be he had a traumatic incident as a child with needles.

I have a member of my family that is the same way, (I'm not calling them out online), but you don't understand the fear, until you know someone personally, know them, and see them go from a very confident and strong person, until the fear takes over and debilitates them. It makes no sense to us, but it's the most real thing in the world to them.

Beyond that, there are also people who are extremely sensitive to pain. Any minor injury can feel far worse than it ever would for the majority of us.

However, it may also be possible that he is acting to give everyone a laugh as well. The fact that people are recording this means that they knew he'd react this way, no matter the cause of course.

I'm not going to wager a guess however as to what is really happening here.

A lot of that can also depend on what's *in* the needle. Some injections really are very, very painful. Okay, probably not the case here, but it's a possibility.
