I donate blood regulary and I actually enjoy the process. Where I donate they are all very kind and afterwards I can sit in a room with endless food and drinks. I even get a little bit of money for my troubles. Would recommend just giving it a try. If it's not for you nobody blames you if you never do it again.
Edit: An extra is that they check your blood for a lot of stuff and if they find something you know very early and can treat it easily. Free blood checkup.
Where is this that you get paid for blood donation? That sounds like a reasonable thing to do
Im donating at a hospital in germany. A plus is that they only use my blood to actually help people in that hospital and don't sell any of it to big pharma.
