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
