Possessive adjectives show ownership or relationship to a person or thing, rather than literal ownership. Object pronouns refer to the object of a verb or preposition and avoid repetition by replacing nouns. Object pronouns like "it" need clear context to refer to something already mentioned or obvious from context.

we use them when we refer to people, it is more in the sense of relationship than ownership.
Possessive pronouns makes the sentence
less confusing because the same information is not being repeated.
Of yours: It is also very common to say a
friend/some friends + of + possessive pronouns.
I saw one of your friends last night.
I saw a friend of yours last night.
Both of these sentences are correct and both
common in English.
Object pronouns are what is affected by the
action of the subject. They are used instead of nouns, usually because we already know what the object is. It avoids repetition. We normally use object pronouns after a verb or a preposition.
“It” needs to have already been mentioned or obvious
to the listener what you are referring to.
You are sitting on it! (The listener probably
doesn't know what the speaker refers to).
The letter is on the sofa. You are sitting on it! (It
is obvious in the second sentence that the reference is to the letter).
