I tend to meet this problem by giving people two versions of explanation for what I do.
For example I can say something like:
"I want to help. This gives me a positive attitude which in turn affects the surrounding attitude to a nominal degree. Or you can say that I want to help because I feel myself polarizing to search for the metaphysical knowledge and helping explores spiritual depth while being beneficial. Whichever explanation you like the best; keep it"
These are my words, though. It's what I've said out loud to people (in my language) to make them understand. Problematic for this approach is the level of confidence/integrity needed. Unwavering calm and security is the foundation from which these words come and when people feel this, acceptance (on some level) is quite near.
I'm also blessed with a fairly allowing society/country.
EDIT: To clarify, I try to give one rather mundane explanation and one shorter in depth explanation. People will generally pick one and be happy with it, thus easing the understanding part and shifting attitude in favour of continued work.
