Why do I attract so much conflict when I go out?

It happened a couple times, but enough to leave me wondering If Im the problem. My friends say I got this tone that can be misunderstood at night at bars, when the tensions are high.

I never start the altercations, but when I respond to stand my ground I may come out as passive-agressive or a "wise ass" that may escalate situations when Im trynna shut them down. This is me tryna break it down because I can't figure out If people are assholes in general or I should work on my social skills to avoid these situations all together, do yall have the same experience?
