Cuz we evolved to be dependent on social structures to literally keep us alive, bonding as a result is something that we need to maintain those structures psychologically

humans require a chemical balance in their brains of certain neurotransmitters to feel satisfied/happy. vaguely, cannabinoids/oxytocin are related to positive human connection. so lacking that can cause a disrupt in chemical balance. making you feel that way.
