It disheartens me that whenever someone comes here asking for help with a problem rooster, so many people advocate keeping the roo afraid of you or if the rooster is aggressive, to whack it with a broom or slaughter it. This kind of advice, in my opinion, is misguided and just shows that a great many people are afraid of roosters.
Roosters do what they do for good reasons. When you can understand why they do what they do, then you can start to work on changing that behavior. Too many folks, even here where we're all mostly nuts about chickens, underestimate the intelligence of these critters. They're every bit as trainable as a dog or a cat.

I've had wonderful success with my two problem roos following these training methods.
My rooster's also very scared of me, the hens eat out of my hand, but he's too scared to try it, even when I just sit and drop my hand with snacks in it, he only comes for them when iM goneI like for my roos to give me a wide berth...I want them to think of me as the top-bird, and I am not to be crossed.
18 month old roo....so far so good.
