I really, really hate how my body language and words are regularly interpreted as anger or rudeness, even after I explain myself, especially when it's family members misinterpreting me. Ironically enough, these same family members insist that I try to make friends and all I can think is "Well, if you don't understand me, how the hell is somebody outside my family supposed to?!" I mean, I'd love to improve/expand upon the relationships with my friends, but the thought of being 'friend-dumped' due to be misinterpreted or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person isn't exactly encouraging...

One of those "easier said than done" things. I've been there.
