Walk your self on over here and find out. Big words from someone that blocks their profile.
Anger and fear are normal natural emotions and in part why we have become the planet's dominate species. Neither emotion is necessarily a negative until we let them control our ability to reason. Fear is much easier to overcome than anger as it usually just takes repeated exposer to what causes the fear. I've only met a couple people who exhibited bouts of uncontrollable anger, for the rest it was varying degrees of anger. Both anger and fear can be overcome if a person wants, most don't as it takes time and effort. There is an easy fix for the person interested in self defense and has issues with anger and fear, join a combat sports gym or even a martial arts school that has sparring is a part of the training. I know, it sounds cliche but it works. After a while physical aggression becomes routine and the fear of is easier to control. Same for anger, some people with anger issues tend to become angry when experiencing physical aggression even in a controlled atmosphere. For those people one of two things will happen, they will learn to control their anger or they will stop training, like I said it takes effort. There is more to it though, the person will eventually become comfortable with being uncomfortable physically, emotionally and psychologically. Should the need arise the person will CAT scan their antagonist walking toward them same as they do when sparring, physical aggression has become normal, it has become a part of their lives. This of course has to be combined with a basic understanding of behavior, reading Varg Freeborn will help with that understanding.
As an aside, instructor/LEO Chuck Haggard has a saying that all self defenders should take to heart, "Between a harsh word and a gun", he is referencing pepper spray. Away from home I always carry pepper spray. It is the rare attack where defending with pepper spray isn't justifiable. It is the lowest rung on the use of force ladder and if you do make a mistake the penalty is far less than it would be for a firearm.

This is NOT a response of criticism, but one of a statement of fact, principally about the part above in bold letters.
Back in 2009, I had all the rest of my teeth pulled with the plan of getting false teeth. After all the teeth had been pulled, my dentist had me wait two months before getting forms of my gums for the dentures. She wanted the gums to heal very well before that process.
Point is, one can be surprised of just what one can eat without a single tooth in their mouth. In the case of steaks, one just has to cut the bites up a little smaller before putting them in one's mouth.
I don't know his size or the health of the OP. Don't worry about what I would do, I'm just pointing out you're making a ton of assumptions and painting a broad brush.
