People that don't respond and make up excuses are typically individuals who tend to dismiss things that require them to empathize and invest themselves in, often these individuals are searching for new ideas they can use to add to their own effort towards gaining attention and praise, aka likes.

Also, since you have moved back home you have been noticing more and more the way your own family can act towards you and that can actually bring about that anticipation that you felt as a child where your father actually did not allow you to play and socialize with your piers. When your father prevented you from experiencing that you did not get exposed to how children test each other and slowly develop around what they learn from each other on a social level playing around. Actually, your parents raised you to be a loner and uncomfortable when it came to socializing. It's like not allowing a child to really read very well by making that child do physical labor while other children were learning to read more and more to the point where they had a relationship with reading and learning by being exposed to different books that helped them develop knowledge. Or, like a child who never played any kind of team sports expected to just "know" what it's like to be part of a team and a team player with others.

We all learn "by doing" and experiencing gradually.
