GRATITUDE
Repeatedly having to correct how you were understood is a pattern rather than a run of bad luck. At some point the common factor is how you are saying things: perhaps too indirect, too compressed, too dependent on the listener supplying context they do not have.
Rather than being frustrated at the misreadings, examine one recent instance. What did you actually say, and what would have made it harder to misinterpret. Usually the fix is being more explicit than feels necessary, particularly about your intent, which people cannot see and will otherwise supply themselves.
