Overwhelmed with possibilities in a self defense scenario

I regularly watch Active Self Protection on YouTube, I take in more war footage than I should (working on it with my therapist), and I train while using games like Ground Branch and Ready or Not to be comfortable with the headspace of "this is chaos, find your way through or find your way out). With that being said, I watch these videos and go through video game scenarios, and sometimes I see moments where it was always in the cards, and it seems you or the person you're watching are destined to die, even if you're the good guy. How do you, as someone who dreads a self-defense scenario but wants to come out on top, overcome the worry that "the moment you engage this threat, you will die". Even if I train enough, even if I intake these videos on thinking about this or that, I'm terrified of being the person who doesn't even get a chance to end the threat or get out alive.
