Don't twist it
means: don’t misunderstand me, don’t change what I’m saying, don’t interpret it in a negative way.
Examples:
1- A parent told their teenager, “I’m worried about you staying out so late.” And then added gently, “Don’t twist it — I trust you. I just care about your safety.”
2- He said he needed some space for a few days. She looked hurt, so he quickly added, “Don’t twist it — I’m not leaving. I just need time to think.
