The whole idea that it would be a demand is baffling to me.
Someone asking if you’re mad, assumes they know you in some way even if just in passing.
Nope. It’s the same way as people might think someone looks happy, we just look at faces and try to interpret their emotions. And some people’s faces set off the “looks angry” assumption.
In this situation you are the predator and the asker is the prey that is hoping that you already have a full belly.
Taking the stance that someone else is a predator based on how they look and you might be their prey. And not only that, saying that aloud to them. Can be pretty damn insulting.
