My example: "Dad, can I spend some time with you to talk about my science project. I'm busy, GO do it yourself."

Your use of the word "GO" as a personal directive which negates help/service was framed by your perception.

So, you are interpreting that sentence as a positive act as opposed to a rejection and negative? The response wasn't "Let's GO do it!" It was, and I paraphrase myself, "NO frickin' way! I don't want to." How else can you interpret it using normal contextual usage of language?

GO!! screw yourself.

Does that create trust and energy?

I DO hope I am using the word GO appropriately.
