I don't get hangry so I've never understood it. But I know it's real and usually try to direct their attention away from angry and to food. I'm scared if I spend too long with someone they'll realize what I'm doing. Hangry people, would that upset you because I might try to get you to eat when you're actually angry?
Just don't patronize me. "You're just hungry" will make me angrier.
Don't even mention it, just throw food at me. I will know what you're doing, but deep down I'll also know that you are right and will eat silently. In five minutes I'll very likely say that I'm sorry for being a dick.
To be clear I am usually a very friendly person and when I am in a mood like described above I had a very stressful day and didn't eat for 24 hours, so this is an extreme example.
I'd never say "you're just hungry". I'd be worried that I'd try and get food asap but they would then get angrier because "I'm not just hungry right now, I'm actually angry" and i didn't recognizethat. Of course I would apologize, but maybe you can see my point.
I mean, you aren't a mind reader
My wife is particularly bad at getting hungry. I'm fairly blatant about feeding her, when she is. Had grumbles from her about it, but very few complaints.
if I haven't realised it by then, then you'd just be helpful in making me realise that I'm not actually mad at anything, my body is just going into primal fight mode because I've forgotten to eat
if I'm actually angry and my stomach is full I'd say it outright, but wouldn't be upset because it's a valid guess looking at my normal behaviour
this said, when I'm hangry, close me in a room with food and don't interact until I re-emerge lol, I get very grumpy
Low blood sugar, I will drop things, shout and generally have a complete breakdown as it gets worse. Though I don't direct it at people anymore, I can retain that much control. It's horrible and can bring you to literal tears, like a deep melancholic depression. I guess your brain really needs that good shit to function.
I don't get hangry but my wife is the classic model of someone who does. I know now to keep snacks or plan for food breaks while we're out. She's tiny and I'm the one who gains weight somehow.
Same. I fast for 2-4 days straight regularly. People I work with, can't go without 2-3 hours without snacking on something to "get their blood sugar levels up!" 🙄
