Once someone reads the wrong meaning into what you said, more explaining usually just makes it messier.

Clear the intent first. Then explain the rest.

For example, if I say something friendly and they take it like I am flirting, I would say,

“No, I did not mean it like that. I was just being friendly.”

That usually works better than a long explanation.

Sometimes one clear sentence fixes the whole tone of the conversation.
