Answer 4

If someone is emotionally attached to where they live, they are more likely to be social, and open. People who feel comfortable in their surroundings often makes more friends and keep them longer. People who aren't completely comfortable with where they are, are more likely to be antisocial or depressed. Even small things could affect how you social you are and how you feel about where you live, like a certain street or a restaurant or the whether, or anything. If someone is completely comfortable with all that, then they're probably happier people in general
