Wonder what? I've been to plenty of parties and work functions with people I couldn't stand or didn't really know that well. I schmoozed them, laughed with them, looked for all the world like I was having a grand old time - Guess what? It didn't mean jack shit - it was a face that I had to put on because the situation warranted it. Do you mean to tell me that you have never had to do that in your life?
