For example Nervous? Afraid? Scared?
When i enter a cave i feel like the biggest badass in all skyrim XD one shot archering people in the face:D
Depends on the character I am playing and their level. My Nord warriour and my Altmer mage feel pretty much the same way you do.
My sneaky Khajiit felt pretty nervous if any of the bandits were wearing plate armor or if there were too many of them wielding two handed weapons cause they would kick his scrawny butt if he wasn't able to backstab them first.
All that changed once he got the master sneak perk though, since he can now get the 15x dagger damage even after he has been discovered. Almost wish I hadn't taken that perk cause it was fun to be scared once in a while.
