Please explain this to people who invade my personal life, establish an "identity" of their choosing with labels for me, and never reconsider their decision. E.g. how do i stop certain people from telling everyone else that i don't like travelling, when in fact i do like to travel, just not with them? sigh

Or just be honest. One of my best friends is in Bali right now. When I asked to go with her, she straight up told me she doesn't like traveling with other people. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Say "That's not quite right; I loved my trip to X and I'm planning a trip to Y for next year."
Many good suggestions already, but I’ll throw my hat into the ring.

You could say something like “you and I have very different tastes in travel, but I still like traveling when it’s on my terms.”
