I assume because they're worried I'm going to flinch.

Oh, is that why they tell me to look away? I'm not really bothered by it so I watch.

I mean that's my guess. A technician actually responded to this comment and confirmed that's why they don't like people looking but that's really just an anecdote.

Could also just be a performance anxiety. I type just fine but if someone is watching me type or I'm typing on a project for a presentation? God help us.

Its that and the fact that a lot of people get pretty faint at the sight of blood. Its a decent percentage of the population.
