Interesting, without context its pretty difficult to offer advice. From your comment, and I'm reaching here, you might not have a great awareness of how your actions/choices are perceived by others before you make them. You seem to in hindsight, which is great. Also it could be the stage of life you are in where the people you are surrounded by are still exploring options of how to live and are curious when they see someone make choices outside their realm or expectation. In either case it comes down to how much you want them to understand your what and why. I have really tried hard at accepting that most others are not going to see why I make my choices so what is the point of explaining any of them. This is all conditional on who it is and how much I love them but it is a constant in my thought process. Letting go of the need for people to understand your motivations is liberating, when you can achieve it. :) I hope this helps.
