This is great advice.

Another version I've used when I'm charged (but not done as intentionally as you suggest) is something like "I'm feeling <angry/frustrated/etc.>, so this won't come out right."

The idea of "everyone is just doing something" has helped me a lot to get rid of that overthinking. The moment I try to be perfect I start to feel fake; like I create a wall between me and the other. I'm the most impressed by people who are the most authentic. Being around them feels like being fully alive.
