I think I'm fairly frequently in the mode of not caring much which members of a group I talk with, especially when I'm in host mode.
Take Thanksgiving, for example ... I like everybody there, and wanted to connect with each of them over the course of the evening, but the precise order didn't matter to me. As host, I focused more on keeping the group dynamics going smoothly, and on reaching out to someone if they seemed to feel a touch anxious or disconnected -- but motivated more by their/the group's need than by my personal preference.
