One of the most distinctive aspects of human

beings is that we are social beings.
Interpersonal relationships are & have been the
core of our social system since the dawn of
civilization.
A strong bond between two or more people
refers to interpersonal relationship. Attraction
between individuals brings them close to each other
and eventually results in a strong interpersonal
relationship.
