This is the crux of your issue, and it's fantastic that you see it.
So rethink. Adjust.
Instead of taking no vocal inflection as a negative, instead read the message as if the person had put positive inflection behind it.
Approach every conversation as if it had a friendly tone between people who get along.
When you respond, be overly friendly so people know your positive intent and hopefully respond in kind. Write every reply as if you were patiently having a relaxing conversation with your best friend.
