I hate throwing parties so I never knew this either but it makes sense.

Charisma is one of the easiest skills to gain in general in my opinion. Just doing regular socializing gains charisma.

I don't know; I find regular socializing hardly does anything unless you use brighten day, compliment outfit, or flatter. Lower levels aren't too bad, but the last three are mind numbing in my game. But it probably depends on how you play your game.
