Who do you chat to?

An interview I saw once (and I’m paraphrasing):

Interviewer: For anyone watching who doesn’t know anything about you, tell them a little about yourself

Seth Godin: Well I’m not interested in the people who don’t know me. I’m interested in showing up for the followers I have already.

You’re at a party and in a good mood.

At this party there are 20 people, 17 people you don’t know and 2 of your best mates.

Who do you go and chat to?

Are you interested in trying to make strangers like you or showing up for the people who already do like you?

Getting to know you small talk or a near guaranteed good time?

This is not a post stating one should never make new friends but one that asks how do you spend your time?
