    No sometimes it's better to let them believe the lie :)

    YES! Unfortunately, my years have provoked me to explain, even before others have misinterpreted my words/actions or made incorrect assumptions about me. That has not worked either. Most people believe what they want to believe. If they don't like you, they will interpret your explanation incorrectly in order to justify their opinion of you. It's basically a lose-lose situation.

    Wish I could be clueless about a lot of things. Maybe I'd enjoy life more.

    Yes a lot. But I am surrounded by imbeciles, not all though. They need to be explained, even the most trivial items.

    I feel like most of the time when people have misconceptions about me, it's because they're too severely retarded to comprehend anything I say, so there would be no use in attempting to correct them.

    No. Normally we misconceive that people have misconceptions about us so I figure most of it is not even real so why bother. Also, I must have a dualistic conception of what constitutes myself prior to my judging another's conception against that. I do not maintain a dualist if conception of self and, in fact, see no separation between self and other oftentimes. So, mostly I laugh secretly at my own misconceptions from the point of view of my other and external self that has illusory misconceptions about him/herself.
