Psychology shows that when someone
treats friends like family, it isn't
because they lack relatives. It's
because their mind defines family
through safety, not biology. Here are
five rare psychological traits commonly
found in people who see friends as
family. One, chosen bond over assigned
bond. These individuals don't bond out
of obligation. Psychology explains they

Treating friends like family doesn't
