emotional attachment to other people refers to feelings and cravings for affection and closeness
from another person. This attachment might help you feel safe, comfortable, happy, maybe even
somewhat euphoric in their company. Emotional attachment plays a main role in human
interaction and nature, and emotional attachments you build early on in life, such as bonds with
parents, siblings, and friends, can shape certain aspects of your personality and attachment style
for the rest of your life.
