I actually had social skills training as a kid. I remember a lesson for example on the correct usage of "Thank you" and "You're welcome" and now I'm great at it.
But there is a gap between knowing the rules and applying them. My current therapist and my old school psych reports all say that I intellectually understand many social cues and skills, but I can't seem to pull them off correctly. One high school test on paper made me sound like a social skills pro, but they knew that result was not true.
