Some people will misunderstand you no matter how clearly you explain. Let them keep the wrong copy.

Clarity only works on people who want the accurate version. Some have already settled on a story about you, and every explanation just hands them more material to rearrange. Chasing that is a loop with no exit, and the chasing itself starts to look like proof of whatever they said. At some point the only move left is to stop feeding it.

Pick the one misunderstanding you keep trying to correct and leave it alone for a month. Tell the two or three people who matter the true version once. Then let the rest sit, and watch how much energy comes back.
