Cultural Misunderstanding
I don't have any idea what YOU have experienced - but I knew that when one man puts his face really close to another man's face, in the USA, it means he wants to fight. But in the Middle East (like Saudi Arabia) men always talk with their faces right close to each other that are just the way they do it! So in Saudi Arabia, a man from USA has punched a man from Saudi Arabia who just wanted to have a good talk about something!
Also, in USA, a young person needs to look and authority directly in the eye to show respect and honesty. But in some cultures, if a young person does this, it is taken as disrespect! Which is in the Saudi Arabia if you look at the person in their eyes that means you are disrespect them and not paying attention what they say or ignore them so in the Saudi Arabia it is big problem to look at a person in the eye is you as knowing as disrespect person even know you are being respectful person by looking at that person in to their eyes so that influence that how the media of the cultural misunderstanding play in the role culture like that.
Like in USA, all the young women are told by the media to dress very sexy - but people from the older generations think that is slutty. (the older generation can be seen as another culture.) Maybe your Grandma has misunderstood you this way. Like she thought you were being rude when you said "Whatever..." but you were really just trying to agree. But of course maybe you were being rude! Anyway, think along these lines. A lot of it for you depend on how many other cultures are in your neighborhood or go to your school, whether you have even had this kind of experience.
