I'll just have to live with the fact that angry people scare me. I think that because I've had someone threaten to kill me and I've seen violence first hand it's hard not to be scared. It doesn't matter whether it's the past or present that scares me. I just know that I was scared. Thanks for letting me know about your experience. I'm glad you have something positive to reflect on. One day I hope I can say the same. Thank you for responding.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
