I think in competition its nervousness but not really fear on the streets the majority or what you are feeling is fear.

Three rules I like to live by regarding street fights:

1. Do not feel you have anything to prove. Having a chip on your shoulder is a fast route to injury or worse.
2. If you survive a streetfight, you won.
3. Eventually you will meet someone who is better than you.

I agree with your points, especially with the last one. What goes around comes around.
