Text Notifications Silenced When They're Not

Several contacts have been telling me (even send screenshots) that I have notifications silenced when they text me. I just asked around and the majority of people said yes that it says I have them silenced when they text me...but there were a couple that sent screenshots that show I don't. I've gone through everything I can think of (including the suggestions from other people before I created this thread), and nothing works. The fact that it isn't silenced across the board is even weirder to me. I even tried turning off the option to share focus status, and it still shows up. I even turned off "share across devices" and it still shows up for everyone. Can someone please help me get this figured out?!
