Narrowing down to a group of 10 people is an interesting concept. It makes sense though to focus on a small community, even in life. I never thought about it, but I just seem to flutter around steemit without making real connections. I did connect with a couple, though. I will add them to my ten list and work on connecting with a few more. I think you are right, we often focus on getting followers but feel like strangers in a crowd without friends. I will try your approach. Blessings.
