People think I'm annoying because I don't always hear things correctly

I'm shy, so I don't talk to many people, which some people see as rude. People see I have like three friends at school, so they think I'm lame. I actually have more friends outside of school than at school, they just don't know that. And I don't hear things right all the time, I have trouble with hearing people sometimes, so whenever I have to ask what someone said over and over again, people get annoyed and think I'm doing it on purpose. But I really can't help it.

People in my town are silly. :]

people think that I am younger than what I am
cause I'm short.
people think that I am overweight
people think that my nephews are my children
people think that I don't know I am talking about.

I can't help that I am short, it is cause of a medical reason I am 4 feet and 9 inches, but I am 21. Cause I am short, I not a thin short person, I am 130 lbs so according to the different weightloss websites I should be about 111 to 117, but if you ever see me you would say 120 would be best. Which I am working on getting back too.
I watch my nephews for my sister and causethey are with me almost every single day when I go to the store or somewhere else people tell me "Your children are so cute". I just say Thank You and leave it at that. Cause if you see my sister you would believe that they are mine. She's like a size zero and thinks she's fat.
Somepeople don't think I know what I'm talking about cause I can't really explain things right and when they come out it sounds all wrong, but I still try.

people think i'm always hungry because i'm fat
people think i'm smart because i'm quiet
people think i'm dumb because i don't do work

just because i'm fat doesn't mean i'm always hungry...truth betold i really don't eat that much, my brother eats way more than me and he gains no weight, he just gets taller. and i am smart but i have horrible grades, i choose(for some strange reason) to not do work.
