Question pretty much says it all. In my experience I myself am personally tired of walking on eggshells around others. I no longer engage with them anymore. But I fear some people will just never give up on me and desperately want me gone for good.

Yeah, especially when I was younger. But to be fair, sometimes they may have misunderstood me but I was also pushy, bossy and opinionated. I just didn't see it and blamed other people. I was a little stuck in my own little bubble I think. Too much "me me me". It can be difficult to see ourselves clearly. So it was often my fault.
Being bossy is often a qualification for being a boss.Often, especially at work.
While the other engineers were soft-selling their ideas so as not to hurt anyone's feelings, I would lead off with, "This is what needs to be done . . .", give the details, and explain why they were necessary. I also did this when on church and community events committees.
Invariably, someone would object, not to the need or to the details, but to my blunt manner and "bossy" attitude.
I guess that's why the higher-ups at work put me in charge of the entire department for 20+ years.
