    He does seem like the kind of guy to be either wracked with anxiety or completely numb to it

    Actually third option he gas such a bad understanding of emotions that he doesn’t know he has anxiety

      People with high anxiety sometimes blurt out things about what they fear. Or blurt out responses to anticipated responses to what they are saying. Being weirdly preemptive. And this probally becomes more difficult to control when you are rather old. Old people losing their filter is a common trope, for many reasons.
