my mother misinterprets my facial expressions as “disrespect”

There’s gotta be parents out there who does this alot, but sometimes i could just be sitting down relaxing, just focused on using my phone or something and then my mother comes by either to talk to me or do something else. She’ll then say “why you making that face? If you got a problem with me you could easily get the fuck out my house!”. I try so hard not to react strongly, and explain that sometimes i just involuntarily make certain facial movements or expressions that are in no way related to my displeasure for her or whatever she does. I do try to explain but she doesnt seem to care or understand. I hear her and my stepfather argue about this alot too, she’ll say “its your facial expressions babe! You know how much that triggers me”. Now im not really sure if myself stepfather intentionally makes these “face” when he’s mad at my mom, but still…it seems odd to me how much that could anger someone. Where does this even come from? I try so hard to remain stoic, and completely expressionless around her to prevent this from happening. But i just cant help it sometimes. Our faces are just naturally expressive. I dont want to make assumptions. Maybe its a cultural thing? We are a hispanic american family after all, it might be trauma or something in my mothers life. I just don’t know and i realy need answers.
