People we&rsquo;re related to, neighbours, friends from school/college, colleagues/friends from our workplace, etc. But surprisingly, only some of these make a meaningful impact on us.</p> <p>We are, more often than not, drawn to people for a couple of reasons: first, they make us feel good about ourselves, cared for, and/or protected; and second, they have something which we admire, appreciate, or want to emulate.</p>
