Why do they always misinterpret me?

I have always been misinterpreted by my family since I was young, and as I grew up and made friends, they also misinterpreted many of the things I said and did. I wanted to explain my side to them, but it only made things worse. To this day, I don't want to explain anymore because if it gets worse, they might leave me, and I don’t want to lose them. But it hurts of how they see me.
