I'm motivated by selfishness and altruism, and the "further away" someone is, the less altruism there is. There's probably an inverse square rule or something
the_alchemist made an interesting post about something similar this recently (unfortunately friends-locked), although her post was purely about time and space proximity, rather than social. She calls it the Proximity Rule, and says she doesn't have one.
In which case I assume she either never helps anyone at all with anything, or is constantly in a state of dire poverty as she gives away all of her time and money to help other people.
As I emphasised, she means time and space, not social; but on that scale AIUI she tried the latter and found it unsustainable, so moved to the former at the cost of being thought callous.
