So I just want to be able to let things go. I want to be able to, everytime someone says something about me, think "they don't really know me outside this little space, so theyre assumptions about me are based on just a few conversations.

What they say is really about them, not about you. You know that they have interpretted wrong. That is the point to let it go, without attempting to provide a defense.

We're all entitled to our opinions and interpretations, right and wrong ones.

You know your truths and so do those close to you. So letting go just requires lots and lots of practice. Practice not attempting to defend or explain and practice not dwelling on it and practice not letting it be more that the statement about the other person that it really is.

If I think someone is irritating, for example, that doesn't mean at all that the person actually IS irritating, it meand that something is going on in me to make me feel that way.
So, my thought about them being irritating is about me, not about them.
