Why is it that it really bothers some people when their intentions are misunderstood?

I’m not trying to say that I enjoy being misunderstood. I’m just saying that it happens, and when you figure out that you were misunderstood, it’s just a brief clarification and then you’re good, and then you can get on with your day. I learned recently that this really bothers some people and I’m not sure I get why.

I’m talking about intentions specifically. So you go to talk to someone, and that person thinks you’re flirting when you aren’t, just as an example. So when you figure out that’s how that person took it, you can either choose to switch to flirting or you can just tell that person that they misunderstood.

I also totally get that it depends on the situation. But just as a general thing… I mean, misunderstandings happen, and that’s all there is to it, right? Or am I missing something?
