The state of being close to someone or something; proximity; physical or psychological nearness.
From Latin 'propinquitas' (nearness), from 'propinquus' (near). Studies show that mere propinquity — just being NEAR someone regularly — is one of the strongest predictors of friendship and love.
Just being NEAR someone makes you more likely to become friends or fall in love! Psychologists call it the 'propinquity effect!' Your best friend might be your best friend mainly because they sat next to you! Proximity is destiny! 🪑❤️
