I think there's no limit to how many people one person can care about.

You're probably right. As I replied to edwarddain, the monkeysphere is a useful tool for thinking about societies in general and why they work the way they do. Applying it to individual people is like using a wrench to hammer nails: sure, it works in a really clumsy way, but it's the wrong tool for the job.
