If more than one of my public addresses (from same seed) are known, is it possible to guess other addresses generated from the same seed?

If I used 1 seed phrase to generate 10 addresses in MetaMask. If people know 1 or more of my public addresses, is it possible guess my other public addresses from the known ones?

I know this is a similar question to this one but just want to clarify. Guessing mnemonic phrase based on the first 2 public addresses

Different private keys generated from a single mnemonic phrase are in no way linked to eachother, so it's not possible to guess other private keys or addresses. This would only be possible if you have an extended public or private key, but it's generally not advised to give those to anyone.

If you're interested, I wrote an article about how the cryptography behind mnemonic phrases works, which you can find here.
