hi hgi,
I acted in plays in high school and college to get this 'pretending' thing down.
I was able (with much difficulty) to act on stage, but it carried over not at all to real life.A lot of it is related to the verbal fluency thing you mentioned in the post on glycine (which was very interesting). I have very little (verbal fluency), and it just doesn't 'feel' right to engage in social situations, except when I'm on Ritalin, which I can't tolerate otherwise (severe anorexia, mood swings). Klonopin lets me keep a job, caffeine and Provigil keep me awake.
