About Nwafor’s (Probable Last words)

I stayed at the Nwafor's from after my Fall/Winter (2018-2019) session to May. During the family events, I could hardly relate socially. I tried my best. Greeted every visitor I met. Answered the usual (useless) social questions ("How are you?", "How's school?", etc). I helped with things I like doing. i.e Setting up the audio and projector equipments for church service. Playing the keyboard. Taking pictures.
Yet, my parents seem to have received complaints of anti-social behaviour.
I didn't go playing around with everyone because we can't relate. They are all conservative Nigerian christians (keywords: Nigerian and Christian. They are far less inclusive). Most of them are usually little kids or parents. Nothing to do. Can't have sports outside, etc.

During my 1 week stay, I went to social outings with groups I can relate better with (humanists). My parents are angry about my outings.
I am expected to stay in all day bored to death (figuratively). Now, all I do indoors is a little house chores, play the keyboard and drum, watch movies and porn all day. Yet they expect me to not go out to meet my peers.
Because of these outings, it feels like the Nwafor's don't even want me coming over anymore.
