For readers who need the opposite advice: I don’t think the things people get hangry about are random, just disproportionate. If you’re someone who suppresses negative emotions or is too conflict averse or lives in freeze response, notice what kind of things you get upset about while hangry- there’s a good chance they bother you under normal circumstances too, and you’re just not aware of it.
Similar to how standard advice is don’t grocery shop while hungry, but I wouldn’t buy enough otherwise.
You should probably eat before doing anything about hangry thoughts though.
Unless you’ve observed that you tend to unendorsedly let things slide once you’re fed. In that case, better do something about the problem while you’re hangry.
Linking to the Reverse All Advice post is itself a way to label an action collaborative. Without it, I risk coming off as thinking the original author made a mistake or should have explicitly addressed my point.
Indeed, I myself sometimes need to listen to my emotions very carefully to understand that I am doing something that I shouldn’t as I am quite skillful in ignoring them. Objectifying your own emotions can only be done if you feel and discern them quite well to begin with.
